Week 1 (Chiefs @ DENVER Sept 12th)

[Meck77]

The home opener and the debute of the Bus! I know quiet a few of you plan on attending.

If we could get a roll call going that would be helpful.

Every week the Broncos provide a theme for the tailgate. The tailgate that shows the most spirit wins "The Most Valuable Tailgate Award". There is a camera crew that will be cruising around the parking lot before the game. They will be talking to fans and then they will select what they think is the biggest and best party that matches the theme. If selected that tailgate will be on the Jumbo Tron at half-time as the award the MVT trophy. There is a bunch of other stuff that is awarded also. I'll find the link and post it later.

Anyhow the theme for this game is "SMASH THE CHIEFS".

OrangeForceOne will be involved in the smashing of the Chiefs you can be sure of that. lmao But if you guys want to get involved than please do.

If you think of something clever to display that theme do it! The more the tailgate represents that theme the better chance the Omane Tailgate could end up on the Jumbo Tron at halftime!


They do this for every game and it's just a fun way to get all the tailgaters involved together.

This is a night game but the tailgate will begin as soon as the gates open which shoudl be early that morning.

I'll post more info on parking, shuttles, directions etc a little later.

Those chief fans think they know how to smoke a pig? Stay tuned for more info!

Well Meck you know the Mrs and I will be there for this one........and hopefully one or two more depending on our new schedules. We even have 2-3 more peeps coming up to meet us at the stadium......they cannot picture tailgating much less seeing a Bronco Bus complete with all the fixins....this one cant get here fast enough for us!

Ah geez, I almost forgot we've got 20-25 of the Maniax crown that will be there as well......so between what we have coming from there and the Mane we should have a lot of peeps........an MVT award would be really nice! !Booya!

[BlueDamsel]

To win the MVT award for the first week, we need to send some pictures in to KOA

WANT TO WIN THE MVT TITLE FOR THE HOME OPENER AGAINST THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS? ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS VISIT WWW.850KOA.COM TO SEND IN YOUR PHOTOS OR A WRITTEN EXPLANATION OF HOW YOU WOULD BE THE MOST VALUABLE TAILGATER BY WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH!

I'll go ahead & email them a link to the bus thread and the bus site, once I get that up & running, along with a written explaination. :)

[Doc®]

Another thought, I seen an OrangeMane sign in some of the pics from last season.....maybe we should get someone with some artistic talent out there to do up a nice big sign that can be seen from a ways off......Dont look at me , I cant even draw a stick man LOL

And maybe even later on have a portable banner or even an OrangeMane flag that can be raise above the bus........

Ok artists......lets see some work. :~ohyah!:

Well hell that should't be too hard, I can almost guarantee we will be the most vocal bunch there and after all isnt that what the 12th man is all about !Booya! not to mention there is force in numbers :laugh:

[Hotrod]

Me and the boss er I mean wife will be there. I cant wait its gonna be great. Meck just let me know what/if you need from us in the order of help etc. :thumbs:

[CBF1]

We will be there for sure. Let me know what you need us to bring... We are driving out so we can being along something besides car decorations :)

[fuddsand]

meck still working on the ticket to the game but I will come and help throw a celebration in the parking lot for sure. Let me know what we need to bring to "smash the chiefs" you know smoking a pig would be a great way of showing those chiefs fans that we mean business.

I have a pretty good sized smoker and my friend has a full size pig roaster but it's not street legal right now. I'm really under the gun to get this bus outta here. I'll post on here some updates as the day gets closer.

Anybody know anyone with a full size street legal tow behind pig roaster?

[ddlopez]

I'm there. One of my old neigbors had a pig roaster on wheels. I'll look him up and give him a call. Although he's a Cowboys fan, the roaster isn't.

[Meck77]

Thanks Lopez! Nice to have you around.

[dumpy]

I'll be there w/ AK1971. Be nice to who ever else I bring(2).

[Meck77]

Right on Dumpy.......... We'll be setting up shop in the morning come whenever you'd like. Just look for this "Coach" on the south side. Hey Lopez pm me if you can hook that up. I'll see what I can do on my end.

Smash the Chiefs!

[ak1971]

I will be there with two chicks at once.....unfortunately one is dumpys wife

[twotimes3233]

I'm going to be there.

Meck hooked me up with the lifeline to the tickets.

My friend (who is from Denver and now lives in Phoenix) is flying to Kansas City on the 8th at 10:45 pm.

Why?
Because we have a conversion van rented that has a DVD player and more importantly a VCR.

At midnight we will depart from Kansas City, and drive to Denver.

Driving will be Chief Fan.
That's right. I am bringing Chief Fan with me.

He will drive as my buddy and I get baked and watch Broncos vs Chiefs games for 9 hours and get blitzed.

We should hit Denver around 10:00 am, and we have an early check in.

Get something to eat, and get our green chile and beer on, and then head to Jackson's hole to watch the Colt's and the Pat's.

Then we'll get drunk for a few days, watch a lot of college football, and ROLL into INVESCO to see the ultimate BRONCO party bus and the ORANGE maner's who are there to commune and party.

I will then serve up to you CHIEF fan who I hope to chain to the front of the bus.

BRONCOS!!!

[Meck77]

LMFAO TwoTimes! Chain up the Chief fan eh? We can arrange that. We got chains.

[ak1971]

dumpy might be interested in chaining a certain Chef fan up......

Although I cannot be there I will definately be there in spirit and watching in HDTV. I just wanted to give you an idea on how to win the contest.

You should build a dummy in a chief uniform an attach it in a splayed out position to the front of you bus. Then have various body parts like arms and legs littered around the bus and attached to the sides, under tires, coming out the back, ect. I think this would be cool, especially with the OrangeForceOne bus. I would love to help, but all I can do is give you the idea. Take it for what it is worth.

[Meck77]

Hey Falconer. We actually have something like that in mind. I hope Samuel is doing ok. We'll be downloading tailgating pics thruought the day so even though you are not at the stadium we will do our best to make you feel as if you were with us. Hope you can make it down sometime.

My prayers are with your son.

[orange 4 life]

somehow i have missed this entire FORUM!!

crazy huh?

too much work, not enough broncos.
i guess my heads been up my rear end.
oh well, im here.

of course ill be there like always. (sis also)
this time though, my wife and son will make their first appearance.
theyre not going to the game, but theyre joining us for the tailgate.
i need an excuse to get my wife to wear that new orange shirt that meck and damsel posted pics of.

cant wait guys and gals.

[orange 4 life]

here's another thought for the "smash the chiefs" theme.

how about watermelons painted chiefs colors?

we could set them up on a sturdy table or tree stump, and literally smash them gallagher style.
then we could eat the inside, which is red anyway.

sounds like a good idea for the theme, and provide some food too.

get some video of us taking a sledgehammer to a chiefs painted watermelon and we'd HAVE to win!!

Jake you gotta stick with me. I have that deceptive speed like Meck once had. Canton 1 week, Denver the next, back to the bus, build a tailgate forum while in Tucson along with Orange Force One. See you Sept 12th!!!

If we want to revive Mile High it's not going to happen on it's own.

Sledge built off the bus eh? You know Orange I thought about that. At this point it would be completely absurd to even think about adding an auto sledge to the bus but I'm going to run it by DenverTucsonLink in a minute.......lmfao

We just got slammed with a monsoon and operations have been temporaritly suspended. We have been in need of some cooler weather and it was delivered. Thanks to the power that be...........

Look forward to meeting the rest of your family Orange. The Force and I await your arrival. :thumbsup:

Oh & *** the Chiefs!

[orange 4 life]

sounds good buddy!!

the wife and son are excited to meet you too!!

my wife FINALLY checked out the mane, because i wanted to show her the pics you and damsel posted of that orange shirt.

she liked it, and we found it at the mall!!

anyway, before we left that day, i went upstairs to change.
when i came back down, she says "who's this meck guy. damn, he's as obsessed with the broncos as you are!"

LMFAO!!

i told her, "THATS the guy we hung out with last year. you'll meet him the 12th."

funny stuff.
we'll see you then, and we'll be decked out in orange as always.

jake

[CBF1]

This time next week we will be at the stadium watching the broncos!

[broncobum6162]

You have mail. Please respond ASAP. See you next Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait until you see the future Mrs. Broncobum!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yep: :yep: :strong:

[TailgateNut]

It's that time, we're loaded up and ready to head down the hill to Mile High II. We'll be sure to represent those of you who can't make it to the game. I talked to CBF at 8 this morning, and he was already headed to the tailgate area. Damn dedicated aren't we.

Go Broncos
***C

[ak1971]

Lets hear it for Meck! That bus is incredible!

[Falconer]

I'm eagerly awaiting some pictures of the tailgate. I want to see what I missed. By the way, last night my wife suggested that I try to get some tickets to a game this year. If things work out I may just do that. It would be awesome to meet some of those who post on this board, and get to see the OrangeForceOne bus. My only consulation was that I was able to watch the game in HD.

[broncobum6162]

Great seeing everyone at the Tailgate on Sunday. We had a wonderful time cooking for everyone. Awesome bus Meck!!!!!! Wish I could be there every Sunday cooking up grub for the Bronco faithfull. Good seeing you again Disco and Fudd and everyone else that I got to know at Canton. If anyone has any tickets for the Indy game let me know. Broncobum Jr. and his friends want to do a road trip to come to the game.

Way to dunk the chieves :dunk: :dunk: :dunk:

[Meck77]

It was great seeing you again Bum and congrats once again on your new journey! I have BumJrs tickets ready for him. Thanks for cooking it up yet again! It was a little crazy since we loaded all the gear up at the last second somehow we managed to find most of the stuff........

Ak and Dumpy all I got to say is you guys are pimps and made the party that much better. If you guys are bored feel free to come on by and help with the ride. We did as much as we could in 52 days but there is still plenty to do for the next game.

Falconer drop me a pm regarding tickets I definetly would like to meet you this season.

[TD30Lover]

Pictures you all....we need pictures! :welcome: For those of us that must live vicariously through your posts and pics to experience Bronco tailgating right now, I beg you pleaseeeeee post some photos! ;D :alky:

[ak1971]

I only took a few. Its amazing put on the orange suit and everyone wanted my picture. Even got a few phone numbers (better than going to the bars!) I was only going to wear the suit for special games, but now I am reconsidering.

Dang you two were awesome talk about representing the Mane and 502. :woowoo:

[BlueDamsel]

Hey everyone, I have a request...

Instead of having to post snippets of your pictures here & having to shrink them all, etc, please email them (in zip format if you have a lot) to admin@orangeforceone.com I'll pop them up there & will link them to the mane...

Thanks,

BD

BTW - it was very nice to meet all of you who stopped by...Looking forward to more great Broncos wins & tailgates!!

Is that Disco with a Diet Coke. Ah we know better than that. Living here in St. Louis it's good to hear that the Chiefs fans are already packing it in for the year. The best fans in football yea right. Who looks like the genius and who got made a fool of on Sunday night. If I had a defense like that I might be switching to the WNBA or World Team Tennis for my excitement. The bus is undefeated and gonna stay that way for a long, long time. WOOOO !!

[BlueDamsel]

here's what I have up so far...
