Not at all actually. Had a few while setting up late last night then hit the hay. I always wake up early when I’m camping though (like 4:45 this morning). I can live off of 4 and a half hours of sleep when I’m camping apparently.

It’s the part of a truck bed that folds down. Also is a word for hanging out before a football game. Move to the south and find out the greatness.

I’m in the southern hemisphere already, can’t get a whole lot more south.

Oh you actually don’t know what a tailgate is! I thought that was sarcasm. I’m in the Southern U.S. and before American Football games (and really any sporting event) people get together and consume adult beverages and hang out until the game starts. Its fun. With big events like The Battle at Bristol and NASCAR races people will get there days ahead and camp near the site of the match/race. Its fun.

I’ve heard it mentioned in things a few times, is it normally for big events like playoffs and such? or any excuse for a piss-up?

All of the above haha. My college stadium holds 102,455 people so it’s always a big deal when there are home games but people will “pregame” anything. Its like a tailgate but for a non-sporting event.

I think it’s crazy that a college football game will draw a crowd bigger than the fucking olympics. or any other Football/Soccer stadium in the world (except for Pyongyang but that’s a different story)

I think the drunkest I’ve ever been at a sporting event was at a Bathurst 1000, and the drinking only really started a day before the cars started.

The game I’m going to tomorrow is at Bristol Motor Speedway. They’re expecting around 150,000. It’ll be the biggest college football game ever.
