(reposting from the thread Steve81 started)

Hope to see some out of staters here, and if you haven't already registered for the Alumni Association's Official Bobcat Bash, see the link earlier in this thread to do so. And if you are traveling and need details to find the site of Bunch of Grapes Tavern in Boston, Manasseh Cutler's home/church/grave site, Rufus Putnam's home, etc, also PM me.

I purchased parking passes from UMASS at 1-866-UMASSTIX, and I have to additional for Lot 22 if anyone is traveling and is in need.

I am coordinating a tailgate starting at 11:30am (four hours prior to kick) for any Bobcats who are making the trip to Amherst. If you want deets, PM me and I'll send you a link to my FB event. I'll be set up in Lot 22, as close as I can get to the stadium, and I do have two extra parking passes if anyone is in need.

There will also be a gathering Friday night as well as post game Saturday (see above in Ted's post) at Amherst Brewing/The Hangar Pub (https://www.amherstbrewing.com /), so you can consider that OHIO's hang for the weekend.

Wish I was coming for the game and staying for the week following.

Have always wanted to tour New England in the fall but since I am married to a teacher that won't be happening until she retires (and we have toddlers at home).

Know you have a post game, but may go see a really good Reggie band, up the road from the Hanger.

Crappy morning for a tailgate and looking like rain until about an hour before kick, but we’ll still be there with a downsized spread.

Big compliments on those sandwiches D.A. wife made from everyone. Great job on the setup too. Tailgate had a shout out from Russ and Rob on bobcat radio.
