Ah, the sweet, sweet nectar of the summer afternoon tailgates. It's Schnelly-ade! It takes four days to brew the nectar of the gods named after the man himself.

Wahoo baggo! Such a great tailgating game.

Flying the colors to alert everyone to our location.

Blake dropping 3 of the final 4 bags on the board to win it 21-20. We shall have our revenge in this life or the next (when we play Troy).

Mr. Sternberg was kind enough to handle the grilling duties while I attended to the baggo.

Refilling the cup oh about 8 or 9 times, you just cannot drink the nectar sitting down once you do well you can't get up. It sneaks around the chicken coup and pounces on you like that sly little fox it is.

Yeah, well at least they have all their limbs, and please remember every pyramid has to have a base...

Yeah baby, it's the dance team. Dance Fever, catch it!

And the home opener begins, the Owls scored on 7 of 9 offensive possessions. Do you want to know what else is offensive? The pass rush --- zing!

So on this play, Rusty drops back tosses to Rose the HB running towards the top of the picture tosses to the WR for what is a WR option. With our other WR streaking towards the endzone the ball is lofted so gently into the air for a 33 yard touchdown!

Yep that is Coach Schnelly, he does more coaching during the week now but he still conferes with his coordinators during the game.

Oh how the student section has filled up over the years, it's great and the band has gotten bigger too. We have 5 tubas or something, I'm not a band person I know they make noise and together they are supposed to sound good, like sweet music to our ears playing that great fight song we have.

The offense huddling up on the sideline after being stopped. Everyone has to regroup every once in a while.

Here comes that 72 yard run with 42 seconds left.

I'm sure the speech went just like this, "Time to put them away boys enough of this fucking around, I have a pipe to go smoke and that tobacco tastes better with a victory"
