First game at UW
Every fall I travel around the country and attend football games at different colleges. I have been to about 20 and have a goal of some day going to every D1 stadium for a game. Next season I am going to attend a game at UW and wanted to know if you have any traditions I should know about, anything on campus I should see, or anything notable? I am aware of your unique tradition of boat tailgating and was wondering what is the best way to experience it?
Schools I have been to for games include - Wisconsin, Northwestern, Minnesota, Purdue, Georgia, Appalachian State, Boston College, Wyoming, Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan, Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Stanford, Louisville and I am sure I am forgetting a few others.
Thank you for any advice you can give!
Ryan

Joey's has the coldest beer in town and you often find UW coaches shit faced hitting on waitresses.

Oh boy

How should we know where to sailgate? All we do is fight people in the E1 parking lot before, during, and after games.

The RAM restaurant and brewery offers a 19.95 ribs and rickshaw special. An entire plate of ribs and a ride to the stadium for that price. Great deal

the best way to experience l sail gating is having your own boat. I suggest getting a used one you don't mind trashing in a weekend(the maintenance cost isn't worth it long haul). Personally, I find Craig's list to be better then ebay if your on a budget. once the boat is purchased just get your normal tailgating food and beverages and me and the rest of the board will show you what sail gating is all about. you can pick me up at west Seattle psychiatric hospital at 8 am.

I recommend talking to @thechatch as concierge of UW football.

I was going to go to the asu uw game but after the mean responses to a similar thread I decided not to.
Actually I just got drunk and missed the flight. -
@ivo610,
You should consider catching an Oregon game at Autzen Stadium. You will enjoy the tailgating there, especially the parking lot rapes. -
Not sure why I am getting so many negative responses, was just looking for advice on campus and game day. Best of luck in the playoffs.

You should lurk around a bit and get a feel for the boards. If you have any questions feel free to shoot @IrishDawg22 a PM because he has this place dialed in.ivo610 said:Not sure why I am getting so many negative responses, was just looking for advice on campus and game day.

Because we are fucking assholes who like to mercilessly hammer new fish to bring joy to our otherwise shit stained lives. If you had read this bored for more than 10 minutes before your post this would have been clear to you.

Why wait until next year? We are hosting BAMA on 12/31.
Hope to see you there- as long as you're BArlRKING for the DAWGS. -
Don't listen to some of these pieces of shit. Most of the guys on this bored live in their moms' basement drinking mountain dew while wearing grubby sweatpants with permanent nacho stains on the crotch.ivo610 said:Not sure why I am getting so many negative responses, was just looking for advice on campus and game day.

If you need a recommendation for a good wine bar, I have one for you. Not too far from the stadium is a wine bar called Dino's. They have a small corkage fee on top of grocery store prices (i.e., you don't have to pay restaurant prices for wine). Right now they have a special on a superb cab that drinks like a merlot. My friend Dino owns the place. Tell him Kent sent you. He'll hook you up! ;-)

I highly recommend the 2017 Husky game at Autzen. I'll be there.PurpleBaze said:@ivo610,

When you go to Oregon and Baylor make sure you wear butt protection and have a battle buddy for the porking lot. I would avoid night games there at all costs. Also don't take kids to Penn St and make sure when you go to Pullman for WSU you wear a rain coat to deflect incoming vomit. Also be careful of Kansas, when you walk on campus on property they try to recruit you onto the football team, it doesn't matter your age. When you go to Miami people love it when you tell them how much their stadium looks like it should belong in the NFL and people love pregame banter at Texas Tech about their great 10-2 team and how they took people to the woodshed that year. Make sure you show up early for BYU tailgating or you won't get a porking spot, alcohol there is also flowing like a river so don't bring your own as plenty will be provided. Wear a Jarvis Varnado basketball jersey to Mississippi State games and a USC jersey to Iowa St. Speaking of USC make sure to wear ear protection so you don't have to hear the band, you might end up in a psych ward and won't be able to travel to Indiana where it's tradition to watch The Hoosiers on VHS at least once per tailgate with sound at full blast.. and just a tip they play a drinking game where every time someone says Hoosier everyone takes a shot of Bacardi and every time someone scores a basket you yell "Go Hoosiers!" requiring everyone to take another shot, everyone will just get the giggles. Finally, Duke has a football team so don't forget them, I know right? I just found out they had one yesterday and I've been a college football fan for over twenteen years. Don't be a stranger and come stop by a Gonzaga football game and say hello! I'll buy you a beer.

First off, welcome to our message boards. You're entering lively forums centered around college football. We've created a place where people can relax and say what's on their mind without being banned and deleted. While we began as Washington-centric, fans from other football programs spend time here and are welcome.ivo610 said:Hey guys,

The majority of posters are passionate (and some are quite eccentric) and that will show in the banter. One military member calls this place his "Internet Romper Room" and that's an apt description. The best advice is to lurk awhile and get acclimated to the environment before posting. Given a little time, you'll "get it" and really come to enjoy this place. Before you know it, you might become a regular too.
The Hardcore Husky Rules:
1. No calls for genocide, etc.
2. No posting of pornographic images or implied sex acts
3. No posting of people's personal Facebook photos and private information. That's flat-out creepy.
4. No posting of premium content from other sites
5. No pretending to be someone you're not (the head coach accounts I've let slide because everyone knows Sonny Dykes isn't really posting here while Cal is playing its games.)
We also produce original content for you to enjoy. I write a weekly article that comes out every Sunday night. A handful of other dedicated posters write articles during the football season as well.
I hope you enjoy your time here.
Thank you,

I recommend coming out for one of our top notch non conference opponents next year.
We used to have an expert about giving out sage advice to visiting fans. His name was @MikeDamone but he dead now. -
Stick around for a bit to catch a uw basketball game. Amazing atmosphere in there most nights. LoRo has the boys poised and ready for a deep March run next year.

Fuck the inner tube. Best way to sailgate is with @Swaye commandeering your ride. Oh and bring your spare liver.Swaye said:

Why the fuck would you want to go sailgating? If the husky fans you meet are anything like the idiots on this board you're going to have a miserable time. @Swaye will probably even try to drown you.
