Week 16 (Denver @ San Diego) Dec 24 Monday Night - Page 7 - The Orange Mane

TailgateNut · 12-19-2007, 07:03 AM

Hey sweetheart, you were the one who wanted the joke out of the BAG, and low and behold, there it is!

broncofan2438 · 12-19-2007, 11:54 AM

BCJ-First of all, I should have been more specific as to what I was agreeing to. I believe that if you are the one bringing the food and has the tickets, you should be the first, if no the first, one of the first people to the site of the tailgate. Some were confused last year as to even if you were going to make it. Second, I never knew those idiots bought the tickets off you until later that night, let alone stiff you for some money. I am not their mothers and you were the one letting them take off with the tickets and not paying in full. I was going to be generous and front the money for them becasue I wanted to be on good terms with you. I had the cash and was going to give it to you when I came down. Things, family things came up this year and I will not be able to make it to the game. I will still be able to find a way to get you the money. But if thats a problem then.............
Don't say "man up", because that is just stupid.

Meck77 · 12-19-2007, 12:12 PM

Hmm...I'm looking for my online tailgate manual for hosting people. Wait there isn't one! Maybe we should email Joe Cahn and ask him to send us a copy...lol

I was hoping to sneak out to this one but I just can't make it. Have a good one fellas! I can fedex some chips in though! Somebody brought a boat load to the last tailgate!

I dont expect it and have always contributed cash wise to OM tailgates. Next time you two Fs want to get the facts str8 on the "hosting" part, come back and show me where I said i am charging $115 ($125 for newbies never came about as you can ask Crawdad or Lynch if I charged them that price) and not include the food and beer. All I said was I might not be there and I would need help on the tailgate. I have never ever said i would buy the food, beer and all and then cook for all 50 people. 50! When will the next time you two shell out over $40k for Chargers tickets just to have one great party where almost all dont have to bring more than themselves and pray to God the bandwagon doesnt jump off to lose money on a regular season game like eating 15 Ravens tickets or knowing that your credit card is charged hundreds of dollars in interest well before the preseason starts? How about losing over $5500 before the regular season starts because of preseason games that sell for no more than $35?
You two holier than thou have no clue what I have to do every year for one game and then you criticize me? F you. TGN hides behind Denver because he could never pay over face value for a ticket and actually let someone who ownes that ticket to make a few dollars so he stays home. TGN probably has a good tailgate party and if he wants to pay out for everyone to go to his party, so be it. I am not here to do everything for food/beer, cooking, TICKETS and organizing for less than $23 a pop. If anyone out there wants to b**** about paying $105 a ticket last year for everything provided when I sold 5 tickets on stubhub for $200 a piece, please let me know so i can cross you off the list and you will not be burden with paying the outrageous price of $23 over face. I wish you two could have been there in the Chargers/Broncos lean years where i bought extra tickets for flakes that never paid or showed up and I was out there selling on the street for any price while everyone was tailgattting. If it happens again, it wont be like that. 2438, if you agree with CBF1, why dont you man up and pay for the two Chargers fans that flaked out on the $38 from last year. Seems i did you a favor and got screwed. When were you planning on paying me for your two Charger "friends"? I will delete some messages out in my PM so all those that are with CBF1 and TGtroll, can PM me and let me know. I am sure there are others that would love the seats I provide and food/beer for $23 over face. I hope it is only the three that have beatched or agreed with the other opinion. Next time CBF1 and TGtroll, get your facts straight.

Hey Scalper troll, it's all about the money with you, and that's what has always been funny (in a sad way). No one tells you to buy $40k worth of Charger tix . You do that with the vision of $$$ dancing in your head, and you can't convince ANYONE otherwise.

Re: Your "I hide behind Denver" comment. What a ****ing joke. You have no clue what I can afford and what I choose to spend. Hundreds of dollars per tailgate for supplies adds up to thousands each season you ignorant baffoon!
Maybe you should stop trying to make a buck from those who you call friends but treat like customers, or don't take the liberty of calling them friends and expecting them to believe you're just doing this as a service to them. They should'nt subsidize your bad business ventures and money making schemes.

We (CBF and I) think you're are not only a joke, but also a sad excuse for a friend!

FYI: I would rather pay any other person double the price you charge, because most likely they wouldn't be FAKE, and yes, I could afford to go to SD to watch the Broncos, but SD isn't on my list of places I'd like to visit again. Nothing that special about it, that it deserves a second look!

Meck77 · 12-19-2007, 12:48 PM

Ok I'm jumping into the fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no one size fits all to the tailgate. I had people b****ing at me that my tailgate was too big. I had people b****ing at me that they didn't like so and so. I had people b****ing at me that they can't **** in my toilet on the bus. I had people b****ing for all sorts of reasons.

The solution: I stopped listening to all the b****ing and started having fun again!

I applaud anyone that is willing to lay out the cash and put all the time/effort into hosting a tailgate party. It's work, it costs money but dammit I can't think of a better way to have fun on a Sunday!

Salute to all you fools in Cali and beyond who haul the grills, bring the tables, help people with tickets, cook the food, donate food/cash/beer, oh and lets not forget cleaning the scum out of the coolers three days later.

Go Broncos!

Los Broncos · 12-19-2007, 02:05 PM

broncofan2438 · 12-19-2007, 02:27 PM

Totally agree Meck. Havn't met TN, but would like to. i understand his comments. Why should another bronco fan have to make money off another bronco fan? I understand that, but also i do understand if john wants to bring all the food and drinks and have people chip in. It just sounds like he may go about it in a way that people think its just an investment for john. In any event, i have had a great time at the tailgate the past few years, just wont be able to make it this year. We are all bronco fans at heart trying to have a good time, lets keep it that way and everyone get along

broncocalijohn · 12-19-2007, 04:11 PM

First, the only investment as an a money maker is if the Chargers dont suck eggs. Everyone here knows that the biggest bandwagon fans are located in San Deigo. Eating 15 Ravens tickets when I was trying to sell many below face value. This team was on a great record after there 1 and 3 start but the bandwagon wasnt buying it (literally). Just picture this team going back to the way we know Chargers are capable of doing. I will lose 20k for one season without a problem. This is just how the fans are in LoCal. My intentions were to never buy 50 season tickets. In fact, I have owned these seats before i knew one soul at the Mane. As the Chargers were winning or at least having Plaza level get more popular, I had to increase my group tickets for one game (Broncos since 1993) to two games then they wanted to start a 4 game pack so I had to shell out for that. When the Chargers won the division 4 years back, they told me I either had to buy the whole season or move my group up to end zone upper view level. I have sat there after their SB run in 95 and decided to keep the seats. TGtroll, you can think otherwise but it was to keep these great seats that i have had all of 13 or 15 years. This is why I kept the seats. If this game was an investment, I would never let any of you know I own this many seats and sell them on stub hub for close to double (last years game). No one here has the obligation to buy tickets from me year end and year out. I dont have that choice if I keep these tickets via season tickets. If I dont shell out the big bucks for these seats, then we have 25 or more maners scrambling for tickets and will pay much more and be spread out throughout the stadium ie. Arizona. I have paid for food, beer, etc for many years (before the Mane) because the group of people that always bought tickets were showing up late and therefore parked far away. The group party i created in 1993 was being spliced so if I bought all the grub, they would have to get there at the same time to take advantage of the food. Since some of those people still come to the game and buy my tickets, I kept that tradition along. If that bothers anyone here of having one person getting the tailgate food and beer/soda, then I guess a public poll will be put out after the schedule comes out so we can get a head count of who is going and what way they want to go. Many of you come out of town and it makes it much easier to have all things done by one person/group ie. Orangemane weekend. I dont care one way or the other. It is just something I did to keep everyone together as one big group. TGtroll or anyone else can think otherwise. If that is you, please please please do not go against your beliefs of having me make $13 a ticket and buy somewhere else. Tailgatting together is what I have always pictured Broncos fans to do ever since i went to my first Broncos/Chargers game in 1992. Now, I dont want this to damage this weekend based on one person who doesnt leave the state of Colorado. I have a chance to be with 15 people that bought tickets for this game and are Broncos fans. THey are in the RV lot so set up room already by 11 am. I believe they are opened to having there spot as our party. If not, we can shoot for the marquee spot and all, including Dimitri, will meet there regardless if you bought tickets from me or not. I will still be going to Costco to get grub. All those that have there own tickets and want to go in on the tailgate, PM me so I have a head count. It will probably be $10 depending on how many. More the merrier when you go to "Bulk R Us" Costco.

Los Broncos · 12-19-2007, 04:39 PM

I have your back John, let me know what you need from me.

Looks like i may be driving my own car down, anything i can haul is cool.

The only one or two (3 if you are in that boat) that I have heard from on the bolded line you put. Not one PM of a negative comment. I have heard nothing but positive things from people that go (Sassy, Hogan to name 2) and buy from me. Look, this is real easy. To anyone out there: Dont be a hypocrite and criticize me and then buy tickets and tailgate from me. Since you are on the side of TGN and CBF1, then get your tickets somewhere else and we will see you at the tailgate. No big deal on my side. If we all agree to either get one tailgate money together and go at it that way, fine with me as I have been doing that for years. There is no need for splinter groups. Groups come together to make one big group. Like Meck stated, some like it and some dont. I like a good size group when you are outnumbered. This will work out for next year. Like I stated before, regardless of your ticket situation, if you want to go in on the tailgate, pm me for a head count. Lynch and I will be shopping this Sunday.
2438, last year I would have never sold the tickets to you if I knew they were Chargers fans since I could have sold them to a number of Broncos fans. The money should have been upfront for all tickets when I got there. Yes, I believe we were going to get that money squared away when you were going this year. You couldnt make it so how long was I going to wait to get the $38? That is my beef after you called me out. Me not make it last year? It was the year before that had people wondering. I was considered early last year

broncofan2438 · 12-19-2007, 06:06 PM

No big deal BCJ, I have no beef with you. I never knew that those chugger morons said they were going to pay you the balance after the game and never did. For the tickets i said that i needed before we even drove down for the game, those were all paid for. You had two extra while you were there and you sold them to them. I don't need to hold their hands, nor do i take responsibility for them, but to stay on good terms with you I will give you the balance. Everything is cool

Los Broncos · 12-19-2007, 11:43 PM

Just checking the weather for the SD game.

Looks like mostly sunny, high 65 low 48.

I'm sure it will be chilly come game time.

Two years ago i got sick because it rained and i was soaking wet.

Broncos714 · 12-20-2007, 12:49 AM

Good to see ya make it. Hopefully you will experience a good OM tailgate regardless of what you have read the last 2 days. If you have any questions, put them here or PM me. I think Lynch is near where you live in the "714".

One can find lightweight hooded raincoats for not too much $$... I think I've even seen 'em at dollar stores. I'm also pretty sure I've seen umbrellas there...

broncocalijohn · 12-20-2007, 04:09 AM

no umbrellas allowed but hoodies are perfect for crappy weather. Our worry has always been flying charger fans jumping off the bandwagon from the view level seats.

Not too surprising, really... I guess an umbrella could be used as a weapon. Anyway, having a lightweight plastic raincoat might spare people from getting wet/uncomfortable/soggy/sick if rain is in the forecast.

Hogan11 · 12-20-2007, 06:36 AM

I will go on record vouching big time for John, whom , IMHO ranks alongside Meck in all he does for Broncos fans with his SD tailgates. I far from mind shelling out a little extra for food and beer....it's a relief actually that I don't have to search around for stuff the day I fly in. He's solid, honest and his tailgate is a great time. I hope to return to the SD tailgate next season provided the NFL doesn't screw me over with a daffy holiday date like they did this year.

I have plenty of cold weather clothing.

Ill wear my Bronco hoodie and beanie cap.

Its just two years ago i didn't check the forecast and its rained.

Wont happen this year, unless i get water and beer thrown at me.

Hmmmm, things happen just like at the Broncos / Raiders game a few weeks ago. 2438 had two Raider fans but he covered for his one friend but the other friend took 3 tickets and 2 tickets went unused because of an unfortunate incident. I never got my $70 for the unused tickets and I never harrassed him for it. For the future, I know what to do and if I do get all group tickets, payment in advance is the way to go.

Los Broncos · 12-21-2007, 03:12 AM

Looks like im taking my own car down.

Anyone that wants to ride with me, let me know.

I will probably follow John down so we know where to tailgate it.

I guess we are heading out around nine am?

broncocalijohn · 12-21-2007, 04:22 AM

9am? Nope! I am leaving at 11 15 so I am there by 1PM. 4 hours of tailgate is enough for me.

Ahh, ok i thought i read somewhere you were leaving at around nine or ten.

Cool, looks like no one will be riding with me.

broncocalijohn · 12-21-2007, 07:47 PM

OK, here is the info i just go tfrom the CHargers. I will post where we will be as I am waiting word on the RV situation. If not, back to the spot near the marquee. Here it is.......

With a near-capacity crowd expected for this Monday’s Chargers-Broncos game, fans should expect delays getting to Qualcomm Stadium and into the parking lot.

I believe that if you are the one bringing the food and has the tickets, you should be the first, if no the first, one of the first people to the site of the tailgate. Some were confused last year as to even if you were going to make it. Second, I never knew those idiots bought the tickets off you until later that night, let alone stiff you for some money. I am not their mothers and you were the one letting them take off with the tickets and not paying in full. I was going to be generous and front the money for them becasue I wanted to be on good terms with you. I had the cash and was going to give it to you when I came down. Things, family things came up this year and I will not be able to make it to the game. I will still be able to find a way to get you the money. But if thats a problem then............. Don't say "man up", because that is just stupid.

Meck77 Ring of Famer Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 16,308	Ok I'm jumping into the fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no one size fits all to the tailgate. I had people b**ing at me that my tailgate was too big. I had people bing at me that they didn't like so and so. I had people bing at me that they can't in my toilet on the bus. I had people bing for all sorts of reasons. The solution: I stopped listening to all the b**ing and started having fun again! I applaud anyone that is willing to lay out the cash and put all the time/effort into hosting a tailgate party. It's work, it costs money but dammit I can't think of a better way to have fun on a Sunday! Salute to all you fools in Cali and beyond who haul the grills, bring the tables, help people with tickets, cook the food, donate food/cash/beer, oh and lets not forget cleaning the scum out of the coolers three days later. Go Broncos!

Havn't met TN, but would like to. i understand his comments. Why should another bronco fan have to make money off another bronco fan? I understand that, but also i do understand if john wants to bring all the food and drinks and have people chip in. It just sounds like he may go about it in a way that people think its just an investment for john. In any event, i have had a great time at the tailgate the past few years, just wont be able to make it this year. We are all bronco fans at heart trying to have a good time, lets keep it that way and everyone get along

Everyone here knows that the biggest bandwagon fans are located in San Deigo. Eating 15 Ravens tickets when I was trying to sell many below face value. This team was on a great record after there 1 and 3 start but the bandwagon wasnt buying it (literally). Just picture this team going back to the way we know Chargers are capable of doing. I will lose 20k for one season without a problem. This is just how the fans are in LoCal. My intentions were to never buy 50 season tickets. In fact, I have owned these seats before i knew one soul at the Mane. As the Chargers were winning or at least having Plaza level get more popular, I had to increase my group tickets for one game (Broncos since 1993) to two games then they wanted to start a 4 game pack so I had to shell out for that. When the Chargers won the division 4 years back, they told me I either had to buy the whole season or move my group up to end zone upper view level. I have sat there after their SB run in 95 and decided to keep the seats. TGtroll, you can think otherwise but it was to keep these great seats that i have had all of 13 or 15 years. This is why I kept the seats. If this game was an investment, I would never let any of you know I own this many seats and sell them on stub hub for close to double (last years game). No one here has the obligation to buy tickets from me year end and year out. I dont have that choice if I keep these tickets via season tickets. If I dont shell out the big bucks for these seats, then we have 25 or more maners scrambling for tickets and will pay much more and be spread out throughout the stadium ie. Arizona. I have paid for food, beer, etc for many years (before the Mane) because the group of people that always bought tickets were showing up late and therefore parked far away. The group party i created in 1993 was being spliced so if I bought all the grub, they would have to get there at the same time to take advantage of the food. Since some of those people still come to the game and buy my tickets, I kept that tradition along. If that bothers anyone here of having one person getting the tailgate food and beer/soda, then I guess a public poll will be put out after the schedule comes out so we can get a head count of who is going and what way they want to go. Many of you come out of town and it makes it much easier to have all things done by one person/group ie. Orangemane weekend. I dont care one way or the other. It is just something I did to keep everyone together as one big group. TGtroll or anyone else can think otherwise. If that is you, please please please do not go against your beliefs of having me make $13 a ticket and buy somewhere else. Tailgatting together is what I have always pictured Broncos fans to do ever since i went to my first Broncos/Chargers game in 1992. Now, I dont want this to damage this weekend based on one person who doesnt leave the state of Colorado. I have a chance to be with 15 people that bought tickets for this game and are Broncos fans. THey are in the RV lot so set up room already by 11 am. I believe they are opened to having there spot as our party. If not, we can shoot for the marquee spot and all, including Dimitri, will meet there regardless if you bought tickets from me or not. I will still be going to Costco to get grub. All those that have there own tickets and want to go in on the tailgate, PM me so I have a head count. It will probably be $10 depending on how many. More the merrier when you go to "Bulk R Us" Costco.

I never knew that those chugger morons said they were going to pay you the balance after the game and never did. For the tickets i said that i needed before we even drove down for the game, those were all paid for. You had two extra while you were there and you sold them to them. I don't need to hold their hands, nor do i take responsibility for them, but to stay on good terms with you I will give you the balance. Everything is cool

Looks like mostly sunny, high 65 low 48. I'm sure it will be chilly come game time. Two years ago i got sick because it rained and i was soaking wet.

Our worry has always been flying charger fans jumping off the bandwagon from the view level seats.

I far from mind shelling out a little extra for food and beer....it's a relief actually that I don't have to search around for stuff the day I fly in. He's solid, honest and his tailgate is a great time. I hope to return to the SD tailgate next season provided the NFL doesn't screw me over with a daffy holiday date like they did this year.

Anyone that wants to ride with me, let me know. I will probably follow John down so we know where to tailgate it. I guess we are heading out around nine am?
