I defer to the tailgaters, not being one, I just postulate a possible explanation.
You are wrong. He clearly said it was a guess so therefore it is not an analysis. Also years aren't stats.PlayerRep said:statler & waldorf said:As a practical matter, when the Griz show they have a dominating defense and explosive offense, people will stay to see the whole game. The home made chili, ziti, pulled pork, beer, Fireball, schmoozing, etc. will wait til AFTER the game. The current product on the field takes a poor second place to the tailgates. A defense constantly on the field, being worn down due to a three and out offense, has less appeal than a hot dog and a beer. Reality. Tailgating probably took off in 2010, and got a good boost during the Delaney years. Just a guess, never been a tailgater. I see it as a way of expressing the tailgaters displeasure with the state of Griz football. JMHO.
Nope, your stats and analysis are not correct. Tailgating at half time has been big for over a decade and probably more.

Hammer said he would deep fry his own gonads if he ever went to a Cat game. Guess what he did last Saturday?
Afraid I can't make it this week. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

I wasn't aware I was going to be offered free just outside the stadium parking and a free all access sidelines pass when I made that statement! :lol:

First quarter, when crowd is most amped up = Griz 31 - 21.
Third quarter, when crowd is least engaged = Griz 34 - 17.
Maybe we should tailgate a little longer into the third?
