Update: BRB Tailgate For Monday Night Football (11/23/09)

Judging from the response to the initial call to action, the inaugural BRB Tailgate just might happen. The details:
DATE: Monday, November 23, 2009.
TIME: 4 p.m. CST.
WHERE: Orange Lot of Reliant Stadium.
WHAT TO BRING: Food and Drink.
The purpose of this post is to gauge who can bring various tailgating essentials--coolers, ice, chairs, grill, tent (if anyone has one), etc. Many of us are going to be parking in another lot and walking over to the Orange Lot, and lugging that sort of stuff through Reliant Park isn't very practical. What would be ideal, of course, is for those attendees who are planning on parking in the Orange Lot to step up and volunteer to bring that stuff. If you've got an Orange Lot pass and are up for contributing to the cause in the form of cooler space, ice, chairs, and the like, please commit in the Comments below.
An additional question for the Orange Lot parkers...what time can you arrive? If we're aiming for the area targeted in Texans-Brocos' map(s), we're going to have to have several vehicles lined up and ready to go when the lot opens (presumably at 3:30 p.m.). Is anyone up for that? If not, we'll simply have to grab whatever space we can when enough of our vehicles arrive.
Any other issues or concerns? Raise 'em in the Comments.

Any truth?
To what someone posted previously about the BESF’s possibly wearing oil derricks on MNF? That has preoccupied my day and I can’t shake the thought of those fucks (at least the biggest fuck) having the gall to show up in our house sporting luv ya blue.

Haven't Seen That Confirmed Anywhere
I was also under the impression that the AFL uniforms are only put into play when both teams playing the game were AFL franchises.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
by Tim on Nov 16, 2009 3:34 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes.
And the uniforms have to be approved by the league when the schedule is released (or shortly thereafter).
The 2 “old school” uni’s have been used by the BE-SF’s and against former AFL teams.
Now, Bud might show up with a bird or two, before he joins Al Davis in the dementia stable of NFL owners?
by Xetuoh on Nov 16, 2009 3:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure this is entirely true
because the Chiefs (an AFL team, formerly the Dallas Texans) wore their throwbacks against the Dallas Cowboys (who I’m pretty sure weren’t ever in the AFL). I do think they have to be pre-approved though, so I don’t think they’ll be able to wear them.
On the other hand, I’m not sure what the punishment would be if they just showed up wearing the oil derricks. It could be forfeiture, but more likely just a fine. If it was just a fine, I could see Beelzebub ponying up the cash to stick to Houston.

KC - Dallas
was a case of the old vs. the new. Just like Monday Night. Besides, does anyone know what the “scheduled” BESF uniforms are for MNF? I can’t find that anywhere. On another note, the Texans web site kicks their web sites ass. Yet another reason to be thankful for Bob McNair. /sign of the cross /kiss hand /point to sky.

well you see,
our starting CB when we played you was Nick Harper. That’s as good as having no one on the field. He gets my nomination for most worthless NFL player. Now our starting corner is Rod Hood. He has 3 consecutive ints in his three games he has played for us.

Two Coolers (maybe more)
I’ll have two coolers stocked with ice for anyone needing space for beverages. I’ll be pining for chairs from some of my buds, so hopefully that will work out. What would the group think of having a beer pong table out there? I’ve got a bud who has one that folds up into a suitcase that I could probably convince to let me borrow for the game…just trying to pull my weight.

Competition + drinking
Since we are all sports fans that enjoy competition, and it seems that drinking has lots of support on this board, I figured beer pong would be a good combination. If it’s too windy, flip cup or other games work. Either way, just figured I’d throw it out there to gauge interest.
And trust me I have all the reasons I need to drink (finish med school tests that day + severe hatred of the opposing team + MNF), I don’t NEED another one…just want one.

OK so if we want to CONVOY in, we need to meet up somewhere, like say the Pappasito's parking lot at around 3:00 or so and then go over together so we can get parking together.

What a great write up.
Let me just say one thing, The “grill” I am bringing is exactly that a Propane powerd grill. Mostly for simplicty of transport and since we wont have 6 or more hours to cook I assumed that the grilling method would be exceptable. However if there are die hard “pit BBQ” guys a can probably make some reasonable arrangements.

Typically
Any pit BBQ or smoking has to be done prior to the game. Like a half a day or more. Just my two cents.
