How so? My way seems easiest. Just show up and chat a while....grab a burger and beer and have a good time.

Trying to set up a picnic with people who might or might not show seems like a failure in wait....well, Arch didn't show, he was supposed to bring buns. Kingo is a no show, he was supposed to bring some plastic ware....who the heck was bringing some cokes? Was that Daman or Vers, or both?

Trust me, just find a bar and whoever shows can talk Browns and watch college football for a few hours. If nobody shows and you are the only guy there, you can still have a good time rather than standing in the rain, at some grill in the middle of a park waiting for the 7-8 others who promised to chip in for the 20lbs of burger meat you bought.


Simple.

I'd love to go, but we'll be in PA in July. We then head off to LA for a week in August, and after Los Angeles we're back in Alaska.

Maybe we can all revel in decent sports, and find a day for an Indians game. Everyone can listen to me discuss the merits of Chief Wahoo!

Swish and I did an Indians game once, and we had a total blast.

Peen's idea makes a lot of sense.

that in itself is worrisome.

There is always this Draft Tailgate as well. Either way, I'd like to attend wherever. Can't commit due to schedule but would like to put a face to some screennames. 2018 Draft Tailgate Information.....and remember, no alcohol.

Put me down as interested. Preference is for a tailgate. Might be able to do training camp, but not as easy. Saturday night pregame is almost completely undoable for me.

Count me in. I was at the last DawgTalk Day. Got to meet Daman and GM and a few others. I was BT58 back then. Still have the name tag they gave us. It was fun, but only got to be there for the early practice and left.

I like the TC idea.

I'm actually thinking LETS DO BOTH!! LOL

Tailgate and a TC day, that way we can accomodate everyone and maximize the face to face stuff.

I wouldnt want to meet any of you... keep me out of this one...

Why one or the other? Not mutually exclusive. Unless of a brew shortage maybe. This sounds great! I might be able to get there with some advance planning. keep this one going, please!

To change your designation copy and paste it into a new reply and put your new designation beside your name. If your name isn’t on the list, copy and paste, then add your name and designation.

I would say training camp, but only if able.

archbolddawg - Undeclared (but wants people to guess what he looks like)

I know Arch.....a hint....think Joe Dirt.

Ouch.

He knows I am kidding, that's why I can say that. We've known each other for 6-7 years now.....maybe a little longer.


A serious hint, think Hulk Hogan.

Arch is Scott Player?

I would go to any event. I host a huge tailgate on West Third and summit. Hosting a tailgate draft night.. all you can eat 5.00)

So you are in the Pit now? Are you down in there or are you right on the corner?

Except I don't have a mullet. Or sideburns. And I have a job. (one of the toughest ever: self employed). College educated, married.

But other than those minor things, yeah, I'm Joe.

I can say that having met you and your better half.

Well, other than that

I think it would be cool if someone with some pull could arrange for a Dawg Talkers Flag brigade.. We could all be part of holding the flag before the game. Then we could all hang out on the field or close to it and get to share a cool experience together.

Maybe you missed my Hulk comment a post or two later?



But the more I think about it, you have some Joe Dirt in you. He had a good heart. He wasn't all that good looking, but he didn't need to be....there ya go.

Hope to see you at a game next year man.

Nah, I didn't miss it. I 'liked' your first post.

As for me and Hulk, well, he's a bit taller than me, and has a "better" tan?

I'm somewhere between Joe Dirt and Hulk Hogan I guess.

And yes, game this coming year. Wife, that I married up to, and I didn't make any home games this past year, for myriad reasons. Went to the titans game in nashville. Had some other stuff going on, and, couldn't find a weekend that worked with the other couples we often go with.

Hoping to go to a game or 3 this coming year, but, sometimes life gets in the way.

Regardless, here recently the highlights of our trips to Browns games have been the fun we had the night before bar hopping with the other couples, the tailgates Sunday mornings, etc.

It's all good.

There you go Deisle

On west third and summit. If the pit had a balcony, this would be it. Theres a bridge that runs through our lot. We have 34 cars in the lot. We do a full breakfast, and main course and have a pot luck area, full bar and more. Just think about it as Dawgtalk Island on Steroids. You can pitch in a case of beer, make a dish or donate.. whatever works for you. Looking forward to seeing you this season.
