Browns vs Broncos Tailgate Pics

[Meck77]

Well another win! That was a close one! But yet again the MILE HIGH MAGIC prevailed. This is the thread to post your pics that you may have taken from the Orangemane Party! I took as many as I could but really didn't capture the entire scene there.

Please feel free to post your pictures of the tailgate or other pics from the day you would like to share.

If you are a fan that might have heard about the Orangemane yesterday let us know your thoughts on the game or anything about the Broncos in any of the discussions! Or start your own!

Thank You!



Here are the one's I took.

This morning around 8:00am.

Me and Dicso Man just pulling out for the tailgate from house.

[Spider]

Hey meck . I have to ask ........ Late in the 4 th and Jake was leading the Broncs to the Game tying FG ....... Would you say the people around "Believed" Jake could do it are was there despair ?

[Pezman]

Seeing that photo reminds me... If I wore an orange mullet to the game, I wonder if I should call myself Chef fan..

[Garcia Bronco]

Nice Meck.....I dig it.

[Meck77]

The plaq from the winner of the best wings in Denver 2000 Desmond!!. The man cooking it for the mane the last two weeks!

Thanks man!:militia:

[Meck77]

Little blurry but here is a close up of the plaq. Desmond French. Best wings of Denver. An amasing accomplishment!

Heck there are only about 3 million people in Denver.

[Meck77]

Desmond posing with his accomplishments. Let's face it what is a tailgate without killer food?

[Meck77]

Left over sodas after the KC ass kicking tailgate. I forgot to empty the cooler and left it outside. It's been cold here in Denver.

[Meck77]

Denver around 8:45am this morning rolling to the game. What a beautiful skyline!

[BlueDamsel]

The food was DELICIOUS!
The atmosphere was AWESOME!
OMG!

*toots her own horn*--and how about them Jello shots? ;)

[Mightysmurf]

Get the one of all of us

[Meck77]

Mile High Skyline!

I'm getting there bro.

[Meck77]

Set up and gearing up in Lot G. Red white and blue flying high today!

Down goes Saddam!

[Meck77]

Another Brown's fans begging to get into the orangemane tailgate.

[Meck77]

A fellow Bronco Maniax representing from way back. Jerry and myself. Jerry will also be joing up real soon.

[Meck77]

Desmond doing his thing. Thanks to JP and his wife for stopping by. They are long time Broncos fans with a great spirit! Nice people.

[Meck77]

Disco man drinking some water.

[Meck77]

Yet another Brown's fan. I almost feel sorry for these guys. (see the bronco's flag flying behind his head?)

He actually was born in Ohio but is more of a Bronco fan I think. He is going thru a personal struggle with it. Great guy there. A regular fixture of the party.

[Meck77]

Tombstone RJ, A diehard fan who traveled from New Zeland to come to his first Bronco Game "Andy" that I mentioned the other day. Now that is hard core. So anybody that says Denver is too far is just plain nonsense. The guy flew out himself and got here on Wed. Another Bronco Manaix soon to be orangemane member.

Yeah I know the hat looks funny now. It looked ridiculous then also. That was reggae time so I swithced hats.

[Mightysmurf]

Watching Rod Smith one on on -

Rod Smith on Shannon Sharpe "I got an inside track on him, and I tink I'll get him to some back"

[Meck77]

My old tailgate friend Tnt's boy mini-Meck 77 and his budy.

[Mightysmurf]

That Desmond is one badass cook!

The wings, the chicken, the ribs. At that tailgate party, I give the food an A+

[Meck77]

Front view of the orangemane tailgate.

Btw to the persons or person who stole by my banner seen in the front of this pic I want it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I handed it off to Row 8 section 114 in the North stands in the second half of the game. Disco man sits in the same row and left I left it there for them to wave around. Anyway Disco Man went to the front to get some cheers going and when he got back the people in what we think were (SEATS 3,4,5 of Row 8 section 114) stole it. They said "We gave it back to Meck 77 which is a lie!!!!!

It's impossible but if somebody happens to know who they are from a picture. Please tell them to return it.

That is seriously bad karma. Whoever you are you are seriously a bad Bronco fan and a thief!

That makes one flag I had stolen last week and this banner. That isn't right.

>:'( >:'( >:'( >:'( >:'(

Starting to wonder about bringing flags to show support for the Broncos. It makes me angry because they just get ripped off when I 'm not looking for a second.

[Meck77]

Bronco Fan hall of fame winner!!!!!

Stormin Norman!!! A legend.

Signing the chair for the fund raiser.
(see thread tis the season)

Last I check Extreme had the winning bid)

Btw nice to meet you Extreme and it was a pleasure meeting you Norman. Thanks for your dedication to the Broncos!

[Meck77]

Stormin (front and center) and a few ;D Bronco fans at the orangemane tailgate;

[Meck77]

Me and some guys from KBDI (World View-Community Voice). They did some interviews and filmed some of the orangemane tailgate. Thanks for coming by Mike and partner.

[Meck77]

The guys serving up the beer in the South Stands!:cheers:

Good job fellas!

[BlueDamsel]

Wow...Bad Joojoo!
Any description of the lady?

[Meck77]

These guys flat out rock. They lay down the drums for the Broncos. (pic while they were in the South Stands)

Never saw her but Disco man did. I'll have her post her description. That pisses me off.

[Meck77]

Some fellas I met carrying around a Portis belt. Some Bronco pimp on the right.:pimp:

[Meck77]

More BroncoManiacs. Talked to them for a minute. Die hard fans.

[BlueDamsel]

I'm sorry!
Man oh man...
Twas a blast though!

[Meck77]

View from the north stands. Sorry I didn't take more game pics but somehow I forgot to. Maybe Extreme has some?

That reminds me..
I need to go pick up my portis cardboard cut out from a friend. Then go to the toy store & get him a belt! :) hehe

[Mightysmurf]

fun times

[Meck77]

Disco Man in the background. Hey do you see the lady who grabbed my banner Disco. If so point her out so everyone can see who she is. She was sitting near him when it was stolen.

[Meck77]

I'm spent. This is Meck 77 signing out. I'm sure some more Mane folks have some pics.

[Mightysmurf]

I think that chick in the santa hat is buliemic...

[Mightysmurf]

Eh. None of me, and none with me in it. Oh well.

[Meck77]

Smurf don't worry we got you man. There are more pics coming. Who has one of Papa smurf?

[Meck77]

You know what we need is an official Tail Gate photographer. I did my best smurf. Alot of chaos going on today. I bet you that there were over 300 hundred more pictures taken. These are just the ones I took.

[Mightysmurf]

I'll be the photographer... from now on... if you'll let me. I'm taking a photography class next semester so I'll be educated in that art by the start of next season.

Yes, it was a great party.

[Chris_Martinez]

You guy's rock! This is The other guy, (slightly Larger LOL) I took some great shots down on the field, I will post some a little latter today as a reply! The show we do is Sports Column w/ Les Shapirro<spl>, The footage we shot yesterday will make it into an upcoming show, have a blast in Canton, and If you make it to G.B take no prisoners!

[Meck77]

Hey right on Chris! Thanks for stopping in! Welcome to the mane!

If I let you? That's the beauty of the mane you can contribute anyway you want to. Taking pics, posting, new ideas. You name it. If you want to be the "photographer next year I have no problem with that" It was difficult between changing tunes, making margaritas, greeting people, explaining what the mane was etc for me to get pics of everybody smurf.

Are you willing and able to travel?;D I'm just messing with ya. We will be coordinating away game tailgates as well so you might need to travel smurf!

[Meck77]

Whoops forgot the beer girl pic. (I think this is your little Bronco Nephew if I remember right? She actually showed up with a ton of stuff including a christmas tree w/ lights. We plugged it into the jeep after the game while we had the drive going. It' was pretty funny seeing a glowing tree in the lot.

[Meck77]

Another pic of the drummers further down the line. I tell you these guys have pumped some energy back into this stadium this year. Good job guys!!!

Hopefully some of you guys show up and tell us some stories. I'm sure you guys have some good ones. I saw Shannon and Rod banging on one of your drums after the last game. That was cool.

If you have any better pictures of the entire group feel free to post them here.
I couldn't squeeze you all in.

[Doc®]

Sounds like ya'll had a killer time once again...............the Mrs and I were talking lastnight about trying to make more than just 1 or 2 games a year depending on our work schedules.........so we'll see what happens next season.;D

[Disco Man]

Tailgate party was again a blast! Good people, good food, good times! All of us did it up right!!!!!!

[Disco Man]

[Meck77]

Found another group shot. Hey smurf I think you next to the porta pottie?

[Positive_Smiles]

What a close game we had...just like the Broncos of old...a nailbiting, down to the wire finish!!! We pulled it out but we should have beaten the Browns with our eyes closed...I wish we would play every game like we played against KC lastweek...we have the potential, the power and the weapons to kick ass every week! I just don't know why we always play to our opposing teams level...I'm really upset about Portis too...what a sad thing... :(

Anyway we are still alive and kickin' - I guess only time will if we get a WildCard spot or not!

On another note - The Tailgate Party was one HUGE Success!!! Kudos to Meck77, DiscoMan, and Desmond our awesome chef!!!

Meck and Disco I know the two of you worked for several days putting the whole thing together and I swear we had a 100 people come by and hopefully that was rewarding to you and all your hard work and efforts...The tailgate party was a Total Blast, the food was excellent and it was great to meet several people from OrangeMane...Unfortanately I'm a tired, a tad hungover, and killed too many brain cells (I had two Jello Shots - Thanks Beer Girl...) to remember all the people I met but was glad to be part of it. I actually gave out about 15 OM stickers and told several people about OM who sit right next to me in the South Stands - so hopefully they will join our on-line Broncos Tailgate Party! :)

Does anyone know how many people have joined OM since last weeks game against KC? Just curious.....

Pretty cool you guys are going to try and go to Greenbay...I'm sure you will do us proud representing OrangeMane.com... :)

Have the most awesome week everyone and Cheer our Broncos on to beat the Indianpolis Colts next Sunday nite on ESPN....

Smiles...

I'm Dreaming of an Orange Crushmas!!!
GO BRONCOS!!!

:Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos: :Broncos:

[XtremeReaction]

Finally got back and have been able to photoshop the pics I took....First thanks Meck for being a great host it was a blast can't wait for next year......Big thanks to desmond who made some great chow for everyone to enjoy, was some damn good chicken...... it was the best tailgate I've ever been to....

I took a bunch of pics will put them all up I reduced the resolution, if anyone wants the original let me know I'll email them

[XtremeReaction]

Crap, Back to the drawing board that pic is a bit big I'll work on it and get the rest up later........;D

[Positive_Smiles]

I know I said alot but one thing I totally forgot to say...

Meck77 - Thank you so much for making the tailgate possible and FUN!!! Your the Best!!! :)

Anything I can do to help out for next year's tailgating events please let me know - cuz I am there!

[watermock]

Wow.

Totally awesome Meck!

thanks for all the great pics and for getting the mojo going.

Totally awesome. The Orange Mane is for real.

It has begun to manifest itself. It cannot be contained.

WE ARE OUT OF CONTROL!!

[BlueDamsel]

Yep that's the nephew! He's going to grow up to be a bronco player when he "gets big like his daddy". His favorite player is "Dake da Nake" and he teaches us lots of things that only a 2 yo can figure out about football!

[Positive_Smiles]

Don't know if you've heard yet but wanted to pass along some news - just heard Jake the Snake on KBPI talking to Uncle Nasty and he said Clinton Portis is OK...he hurt his ankle and his knee - he will miss a couple of practices and he will be playing against Indy on Sunday nite!!!

That is Good News!!! Whew Hoo!!! :)

I just saw Meck77 and Disco Man on TV on NFL Live @ ESPN Zone...I saw Meck about 6 or 7x and Disco Man about 4x -
Too cool... :) The cameraman got an awesome shot of Disco Man's shoes! LOL!!!

[BlueDamsel]

LOL yeh I heard Meck was drinking directly out of the pitcher! ;)

I didn't get to watch, was stuck at work a little late! :( Sorry guys! I was going to try to get there!!!

[Positive_Smiles]

Hey There Beer Girl - :)

It was a real pleasure to meet you yesterday...Thanks so much for taking the time to make and bring all those Fun Blue and Orange Jello Shots!!! I think we are going to have to change your name to Jello Shot Girl...hee! hee!

Have a good one!

[BlueDamsel]

Shhh don't say that too loud or someone might just do it.

[Disco Man]

The online Orangemane.com tailgate continues!!!!!!!

We just got back from Ed's show. We met a nice couple sitting next to us. They didn't have a camera so we offered to take a pic of them after the show.

The young lady wearing the ED jersey was there before us! We got there atleast 1.5 hours before the show and she was the only fan in the house!

She is going to join up and grab her pic from here and hopefully stop in and say hello to the rest of the Mane!

[Disco Man]

Disco and Ed.

[Disco Man]

Me and Disco. I can't say enough about Ed. This guy will be in the Broncos Hall of Fame. A true fan favorite with a big heart. He will never let a fan down.

In fact when you guys come into town next year I would suggest staying until tuesday so we can take you to one of these shows.

Hey J this is your Ed jersey after it got signed for you

[Disco Man]

Another Bronco fan who didn't have a camera. For those of you that watched the show him and his father were there. They are the one's that had the bobble head Ed that they zoomed in on a few times.

Good people.

[Meck77]

Whooops.....Just realized I was logged in under the Disco Man's handle. He was here earlier and didn't log out.

One more fan who needed a pic. Not bad eh? Let us know what you think about this place?

[Meck77]

Our waiter for the evening. Can't remember his name but if you are ever at the ESPN zone downtown request this guy. A great server! A Bronco fan and a Minnesota Twin fan I recall.

Check out the gal in the rear. She looks stunned. zowie!

[Meck77]

Last one. Check this painting out. A true Classic hanging on the wall at the zone.

NICE!!!!!

Nah me? You heard wrong. Those were 25 oz beers not pitchers. ;D

[Meck77]

I just can't say enough about Ed. A leader by example, a class act, and just a great individual/football player that will go down in Denver history as a true Champion.

Eddie!!!Eddie!!! Eddie!!

The orangemane is real!!!! but it's each and everyone of you that keeps the mojo going and the Mile High Magic living.

Hell Mock you have 25,000+ posts man. That is unfreakin believable. I would bet that ranks on top for more Bronco posts on the entire net in the amount of time you have been a mane member.

We can revive Mile High one fan at a time......

Uh huh, suuuure babe! ;)
I can't thank you enough for all that you do! You're the awesomest man in the world! :-*

[Hogan11]

Wow....Looks fantastic.

You guys are making it awfully hard for me to choose between the Mane home scene and the Mane travelling show pulling up in New Orleans next year, that's for sure.

I don't know what to do since I'd love to be in both places....it's a ways off I know...maybe if I started now with saving cash here and there, I could indeed make games in both places.

I really hope I can...that would be great.

No. You might want to try and resize those though. Nice pics so far! Keep em coming.

Hey Xtreame! Who's the clowns fan nosing through the grub? GET EM! ;D

Pretty sure that was his buddy. Nice guy actually and a good sport. We made him wear my blaze orange hunting hat that you see the other Brown's fans wearing for admission to the mane tailgate. It had a 1987 AFC WEST Bronco Champ pin on it and an old school flag haning off the back. I think Extreme has that pic or I already posted it.

LOL Meck.. i told you so! When CU and i went down there a year ago.. he was so very nice to us. He signed my jersey and everything. Then of course..when us Maniax went down in September.. he was very cool about signing and taking pics with all of us. I thought it was very cool that the 9 of us were the only ones who got to meet him.. all because 87 looked crushed that he wasnt coming out to sign anything that night. lol Leave it to her!;D Heres my Ed pic.. i look like ****.. but Ed looks hot! I was sunburnt from the game before.

The problem is that you are using the same thing in your post over and over again, so the software sees that as spam, and replaces the previous post with the new one... Use different smilie faces on every other post, and you will be ok...

[Mightysmurf]

Meck, I saw you right there on tv the whole time. You were right behind Shanahan, it was sweet.

[dbfan4life]

What an awesome time I had in Denver! Just got back to work today and just wanted to say thanks to Meck77 for the hospitality! That's really a great thing you have going on there for the fans who come from out town to just be able to kick back and enjoy the company of fellow Bronco fans. Food was great,beer was good, margaritas were tasty and those jello shots Beergirl made just about put me over the top! Thanks again to everyone who made this an excellent experience.

[BlueDamsel]

My jello shots? nahhhh Those wouldn't do any harm to anyone! ;)
Just think--those were weak ones, compared to the ones I made last season! hehehe

[Meck77]

Dbfan4life. It was cool meeting you and your friend. Nice to know we have some hard core fans down south in Jake's neck of the woods. Hey Btw did your buddy sign up yet?

[dbfan4life]

I don't know. He's the one who introduced me to the 'Mane so you would think he would have already joined. I do know he has limited access to a computer where he lives. I'll ask next time I talk to him.

[elway 04 HOF]

I too would like to send my THANKS! to all of the Locals who show those out of town BRONCO fans a great time. This was my first trip to Mile High and definately will be a memorable one! I came from Ohio to watch the Broncos Kick some brownie A$$.

Most of you will remember me by the Poster Thank You, Cleveland and Butch for NOT Selecting Portis on page 4 and the Hanging Dog!

Thanks agin to Meck77 and BeerGirl for such a great time!

Ill hopefully see you all either at the Super Bowl or in Canton, Ohio next summer for Elway's Induction!

;)

[Meck77]

It was cool meeting you HOF. That sign was sweet! We will see you in Canton for sure!

[elway 04 HOF]

Meck,
I sent you a PM, can you get me electronic copies of those pics posted on the site...the poster and the HUNG pooch?

they are just too grainy on the site.

[Taco John]

This one is heading to the ring...

[broncosnzfan]

Howdy all, My first post here at the mane, As youll see i'm In New Zealand, and made my first trip to Denver last week to see the mighty broncos play. The day was brilliant, great weather. great meeting everyone at the tailgate, thanks for everything Meck, a good Win in overtime (what more could ya ask for ;) .Figured cause theres photos of me at the tailgate i should add a few of my own :D

[broncosnzfan]

For the Tie to go to OT

[BlueDamsel]

Howdy NZ! :)
Glad to see you make it here!

[Meck77]

Nice pics Nzfan! Thanks for sharing!

[Meck77]

I've got a message in to KBDI News. They are the guys that filmed the Cleveland tailgate. They said our tailgate will be on the show in January. I'll keep you guys posted when he calls me back when it will be on. If it already was I'll try and get a copy of it.

[ol number 7]

Seeing that photo reminds me... If I wore an orange mullet to the game, I wonder if I should call myself Chef fan..


Who got the picture of Carol Vermeil and posted it?? :giggle:

[ol number 7]

Nice pics Nzfan! Thanks for sharing!

Tonite 7pm CST. on the NFL which stands for Not For Long will there not be a Bronco in the HOF.

Report on ESPN. The Raiders may release Tim Brown before the start of the season. I see Al Davis is already in regular season form. :raiderssu

Time to go watch "THE MAN".

[TheManeMan]

Those pictures are awesome...;D

[Meck77]

*Bump* I saw a thread on the Broncos board talking about this game and I got to thinking about one of the first Omane tailgates we had. Man it really has been a long time since we threw this tailgate party! The funny thing is I still have that Orangemane sign we used back then. Infact we used it for a cutting board in Canton Ohio for the HOF tailgate....lol

I think we're going to clean that sign up and use it next season for good mojo.

Any thoughts on bringing the OM tailgate to Cleveland in 2006 for the Browns vs. Broncos game Meck?

[Meck77]

2006 eh? Well bro we'll have to see. We have to get thru 2005 first but I don't see why not!

[Rocket 7]

Bad pic but me at the Cleveland game 2003.

[Meck77]

Holy cow Dipso. Didn't realize you made it to the first tailgate we ever really did as an omane group. Wild. Is that where we met?

[Bronco Billy]

So, this is how the tailgates started? Awesome history lesson. People come by at some of the away games and ask how this began and how we communicate to get Broncos fans from all over the country to one tailgate (i.e. @ St. Louis 2006).

It's funny, now it looks so primitive. Now, there's a custom tailgating vehicle (OF1), parking lot, and a lot more people! Now, we get this type of crowd for away games! Thank you fore-fathers!!! :notworthy

We really do have the best fans in the league!
