Our tailgate used to start at 5AM, before we started to reserve our own parking lot for the season. Then we moved it to 7AM.

Well yeah.  To reserve the lot, we typically had a "line-sitter" in place by Friday at noon.

For the 2006 Ohio State game, our line-sitter got there on Tuesday night, and about 6 of us worked in shifts to relieve him, bring food, etc.  It was crazy.

Nowadays all parking spots are reserved ahead of time and distributed by lottery.  But after a lot of construction turning surface lots into parking garages and other buildings, there are so few surface spots that downtown tailgating is pretty much over.  When we lost our long-held spot due to not winning the lottery one year, that's when we killed the tailgate.

When I worked for OSU, I'd load up Thursday night. Park in my tailgate spot Friday morning, go to work, and have someone take me home that night to reserve our Tailgate spot.

We raised over $100,000 for our charities over the years.  Still proud of that work, I wish we could do more of it.

It was a lot of work and $$$ to put a tailgate together.

We got a hotel Friday and Saturday on top of it, plus a 250 mile round trip.
