re: funniest thing you've ever seen tailgaitin' at tiger stadium

The last two times I've been down, I've seen this guy (I'm pretty sure he is a student) and he walks around campus with a sign hanging from his neck that reads "Will Hug for Beer."

I believe it was homecoming '04.

My brother got completely hammered before the game. He had no intention of getting so drunk but he was busting his arse at LSU med school and hadn't had any fun time for himself in months. So he ended up getting way more intoxicated than he had intended.

About 5 minutes after kick off, I went to the restroom. When I got back to my seat, my brother was gone. After several minutes when he had not returned, I started to get worried, because I knew he was really drunk. After several attempts to call him (I can never get a signal in Tiger Stadium) I went looking for him.

I started to grow more anxious when I couldn't find him anywhere. So I went back to our tailgate area. I spent the rest of the game walking around campus, visiting areas where he could have been. My brother has a history of doing really stupid shite when he gets that drunk, so I was even more worried when he was still missing at midnight, hours after the game had ended.

I had even called the local emergency rooms and jails looking for him. I'm his big brother by 2 years and have always worried about him.

About 1:30 a cop car pulls up to my truck, where I am standing, sick to my stomach with worry. My brother is riding in the passenger seat next to the cop. My brother opens the door, staggers out, and gets in my truck without saying a word. The cop drives away laughing his arse off, but not before telling me they found him asleep in a port-a-potty, where apparently he had spent the last 6+ hours.

I have made fun of my brother about that for years, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

He's a doctor now, doesn't that make you all feel better?

Alabama game 2006. Some Tiger fans dressed a medical school type skeleton in a sport coat and slacks. It was sitting in a folding chair with a hounds tooth hat on its head and a sign around the skeleton’s neck read: "Come Shake the hand of the Bear” I laughed until I cried.

when one of our fellow tailgaters turned 50 in 2001 or 2002. His sister and wife pitched in and got him a stripper. When she started "dancing" there were about 30 of us around. By the end of song #2 i think we had close to 200 people standing around.

the best part is that our cook had a set of handcuffs and cuffed the birthday man to a chair. we realized shortly after that no one had the key to the cuffs. In typical stripper fashion, "Magnolia", blurts out... "i have some handcuff keys in the console of my car." And yes they were with a pair of fuzzy cuffs.

back in '04 i saw a guy get beat so bad that he was crying, full of blood and huggin a stop sign. apparantly the guy tried stealin some food of a pit. note: jst ask most tiger fans they'll gladly feed u

Did all of this take place on Dalrymple by the School of Music? If so this all happened at our tailgate. He tried starting shite with us and he didn't actually try to steal food he picked up a bbq pit and threw it at us so one of our friends knocked the shite out of him, which caused the blood. Easily one of the best moments I saw tailgating.

yesss we were catacorner from ya'll. we're always by the music building. that guy was a mess

good times indeed him huggin that stop sign talkin to the feds is something i will never forget

For an Arkansas game one year the guys from Krewe of Ragoo had a real head of a hog hanging from a tree with a rope tied to it so as to lower it down into the path of those walking down the side walk. they would drop it down right in front of you as you walked by. I'm sure the Arkansas fans were real impressed.

And then of course there's the streaker in the rain before the Oregon State game!

Another site to behold is if you catch the pimps doing their thing on game day on the road. When they step off of their rv/bus/limo, it is worth it just to sit there and look at the reaction of everyone around when 35 or so pimps appear.

Not even sure what game it was, but 2 years ago after the game we walked to Tigerland and walked through the golf course to get there. I think it is hole #12, but we found a kid under a bush in the rough, with only shorts on, he had puked and pissed on himself and he was rambling "pussy at freds, puss....". It was actually sad, yet hilarious. We got his phone, called one of his friends, informed them of his location, and proceeded to Tigerland to continue or night.

Another which i thought was hilarious at the time was someone marked on the area above the hole in a pot-o-gold "Drop a Saban Here" with an arrow pointed down.

One our own tirades that occurs before our entrance to the stadium is "the chair". We have a wheel chair that has over 1000 signatures on it, spray painted purple and gold, a medical ivy holder attached also to which a beer funnel is secured. The drunkest person has to ride in the chair, while another pushes him, while yelling "funnel the beer sign the chair." Its a big hit!
