As I'm sure most already know, Provo does not know how to tailgate. If you had a third of the crowd there half an hour before the game, you'd be doing well. But the fine art of tailgating is something I have come to enjoy while here in Eugene. It's a blast getting to the stadium a couple of hours early and hanging out with friends. Especially when the friends are enjoying a little alcohol with their food -- or vice-versa. One game I barely went into the stadium. I'm sure part of that was my lack of affinity towards the Ducks, but, all in all, a good tailgate is well worth the time spent and it's something BYU fans need to learn.
(Disclaimer: The above description of BYU tailgaters is based on information gleaned through experience as a student and may be different now, or have always been different for non-students. But again, many of these non-students are the "blue hairs" and I imagine they don't bring the party to LES, either.)
