I have never tailgated. Mostly because I am a heretic who gives no fucks about Husker football.

My family has done game watching parties for ages, but my participation amounts to saying hi, eating the food and going to another room to watch a movie or play video games.

One on hand, my coworkers seem like awesome people. But outdoor autumn football parties.... IDK about that.

Yeah, I highly doubt it's mandatory, but still.

^that. Though if they're fun people, it could be fun anyway. I like tailgating just because I think it's a fun atmosphere, and ya know, food. Even though I am hardly a die hard football fan

I'm just like, "Can I fake caring for 5 hours with food?"

XD

Legit, I'm just "Who are we playing? Who's winning?" And my token fake interest is done.

Food and booze can help with the caring

and you can probably beg off early ifyou get too bored

Mostly? Any tailgate I've been to really just involves eating and a drink or two and BSing.

But. Looks like we get matching tshirts?

MammaFerus Food only. I don't touch alcohol ever.

You can bring up this fun fact: the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of actual play!

This is for college football, though.

there's probably still some accuracy XD

Probably. Though isn't each quarter set for 15 minutes?

Yes, but the ball is actually in play only for about 3 of those minutes, or 20% of the time

maybe the stat is off; I didn't personally collect this data, lol

Football: the sport where mostly everyone just stands around, then executes plays 4 seconds at a time

I just learned this fact, it is amusing me

PRETTY MUCH.

Back in the early 2000s, the band would do a concert outside the music building, then march down to the stadium for home games.

(They also did early-morning dress rehearsals in the stadium.)

This was what I sometimes did on game days in college, because Mom would go to watch my sister (and did attend games as well, at least in part to see my sister play).
