re: College Gameday Campout Advice Thread

I camped out for the Ole Miss gameday two years ago (and the OU b-ball game last year). We legit did not sleep at Gameday, and ended up really pissed and tired by the time Gameday actually happened.
Things to bring: booze, small ice chest, small tent, sleeping bag, folding chair, deck of cards or other entertainment (also good for drinking games).
Actually sleep, this will be a big deal, but wake up and get your shite packed away before 5 am because that's when everyone just shows up and tries to cut into the line that forms.

Some more thoughts:
Have a car as close as possible to Gameday that you can fit all your shite inside and leave. Around 4am I'd start packing up ferrying things to the car while the rest of you waits and saves y'all's spot. Seriously, crowds of people will start showing up and just cutting. I was kinda furious.
You're gonna want to party all night (or if you're like me you are) but try to get at least two or three hours of sleep (bring earplugs if you're not a heavy sleeper because there will be noise all night).
Be as minimalistic as possible because carrying your shite around will blow.
If you aren't 21 yet and still want to drink avoid obvious drinking like carrying around a 5th or playing Beer pong. Nobody likes MIPs, and there will be security around what with it being gameday and if people are obviously drinking it may bring unwanted attention. May not, but better safe than sorry with that shite.
Other things to bring that aren't necessities but nice to have:
Snacks (pop tarts are your friend, great snack and great breakfast)
A lantern (set it on the ice chest for a well lit table you can all play Captain Dickhead on or whatever card/drinking games y'all want)
Coozies: Warm hand, cold beer
Sweatshirt: outside it'll keep you warm, but when you get in your sleeping bag you can roll it up for a pillow, one less thing to carry.
Most importantly just have a good time. You only get to be a college kid for a few years. I wish I could be out there but I have work all night then straight to tailgating all day.
