There are different themes every week, and they have a guy come around in a ref suit tossing out beads & t-shirts & fan hands & various prizes, and judging each tailgate based on the theme.

Wow, that sounds like a helluva good time. I'm sure it's good to get some kudos after all the work. Congrats again...

Hogan11 · 01-03-2005, 08:06 PM

A long overdue honor I must say....congrats to you all.

I still think the pre-season pad thing is BS....they ought to give you guys opening day!

Sassy · 01-03-2005, 09:27 PM

CONGRATS ALL~ You deserve it!!!
Hogan's right...they should give you opening day!

TheManeMan · 01-03-2005, 10:46 PM

Congrats Meck...You built one hell of a shrine for any Bronco Fan to enjoy...A monster on wheels...A trophy like this and recognition of best Tailgate party of the last Bronco Home game this year is quite fitting...I'll definitely plan on a 2005 trip to Denver for my 1st game outside of CA...Very anxious to meet Maners as well...Well deserved honor for you man...Congratulations again...

Clockwork Orange · 01-03-2005, 11:15 PM

You folks make me proud to be a Bronco fan.

Congrats to you all and I look forward to meeting you at a tailgate sometime in the future.

anthonypacino · 01-04-2005, 01:37 AM

Congrats to the whole Mane! and Orange Force One! I was so lucky to run into you guys at the Shanny Show. And if it hadn't been for Canton I might not have remembered you guys at all this has been the best season I have ever had watching the Broncos and hanging with some good people who don't think that I am "too obsessed" with the Broncos like Disco said "Some people are just born with it." I want to personally thank Meck 77, Disco...how could you do that rob?!!!, Blue Damsel and everybody else I have met at the tailgates. Now lets root our boys on in the second season GO BRONCOS!!!

NEBronco · 01-04-2005, 02:45 AM

Congratulations to Orangeforceone!! You guys ROCK!! Very deserving award. We really enjoyed the 2 times we were able to tailgate with you guys this past year, and look forward to more next year. HOPEFULLY we will be able to make more games next year. Thank you VERY Much for introducing me to Barrel Man this year. The picture we took with him will be with me forever.
Once, again, GREAT JOB! and THANK YOU!!!

For those who haven't been able to make a game this year -- We expect to meet you next year!

I hope you guys make a trek for the Dallas game next year. Sure looks like fun!!!

Meck77 · 01-04-2005, 06:56 AM

Thanks again everybody for the kind words.

Special shout out to Pacino who was there for almost every home game loading up the bus, cleaning the bus during the tailgates, setting up, tearing down, clean-up..... You were a big part of what kept the wheels going. Thanks bro.

Myself and the "Crew" are going to have a meeting within the next few weeks and putting a pen to some paper to start planning for next season. We want to figure out how we can make more away games and deal with the logistics and challenges of that more effectivetly as well. We had some pretty good gatherings but I know they can get better.

If any of you ever have an idea about how we can improve the tailgate please let us know. With the offeseason around the corner we will now be able to finish working on the bus. There were so many loose ends that didn't get done. We pushed round the clock just to make it to the KC game and since that time haven't really had a chance to work on the bus other than basic maintenance and the paint job. I do have a few tricks up my sleave that I think we'll have done by Canton.

My only hope is that more Broncos fans like you guys keep coming to Mile High to help bring back that Mile High spirit and be apart of the 12th man. On the flip side we look forward to making more away games and having larger gatherings in enemy territory next year representing our Blue and Orange in their lots!!!!!

Go Broncos!

jonny1 · 01-04-2005, 08:37 AM

Congratulations, all.

I hope to make a pilgrimage next season for a game, so I can meet you all in person.

Keep up the great work, and GO BRONCOS!!!

denvertucsonlink · 01-04-2005, 08:39 AM

Finally! Glad to see she took the trophy, wish we were there. Long time coming man...hard to believe this is her at my house in mid-july! Peace from Tucson.

Meck77 · 01-04-2005, 09:04 AM

Holy ****.....I remember that pic. I can't believe it all started in July. Of all the thanks being thrown around I forgot to thank you guys the "Bus Construction Crew". Without them there would have been no tailgates like we had this season.

Thanks again

Reed-Denver Tucson Link-Project Leader
Andrew-OrangeForceDesign- All purpose man/art director

(In no particular order)
Erin-All purpose
DeeDub-All purpose
Scott-Audio Visual
Rich-Woodwork
Sky-Woodwork
Dave G-All purpose
Joel- Getting us that extra lift at the end/flooring/all purpose
Bud-LP work......This guy built the BBQ system that has enough propane to
last thru next season. We never filled it once and it never failded once.
Buster-All purpose packer fan(Yes a packer fan helped build OF1)....

I hope I didn't forget anyone.

Guys the bus made it over 7,000 miles in it's first season without any major problems. Pretty amazing for 60 days worth of work and thousands of hours. It would have never happened without the work of you guys.

Thanks

So DTL when are you going to fix up the inspiration for OF1. Yes the bus DTL is standing on was the first bus I saw when we met in person about building a tailgate bus. I know someday her and OF1 will be driving down the road in single file raging down the road.

dbfan4life · 01-04-2005, 10:30 AM

Man I hope I can make a game next year. Awesome job guys!

Madak · 01-04-2005, 11:40 AM

Hey meck we will celebrate next year with another bottle of my special tequila.this time in your backyard not mine.

Well, we all left our cameras at home for the game...But we did get one of most of the band the night before the game...This is 3/4 of HumanoX (http://www.humanoxmetal.com). We're still looking for pics - so if any of y'all were there & got a few, please let us know.

BlueDamsel · 01-05-2005, 10:39 AM

And another shot of them with the group of us that were left late that night....

Nuggets4 · 01-05-2005, 10:40 AM

You gave Neal an AXE?!? WTF were you thinking?!?

PatsWin2002 · 01-05-2005, 10:50 AM

Meck in shorts again!

I thought that guy played the other kind of "axe"?

Nuggets4 · 01-05-2005, 11:32 AM

He's the drummer, which makes giving him sharp objects even more questionable.

That is so true, although the most coordinating when it comes to playing their instrament, the most clumsy when it comes to everything else.

Nuggets4 · 01-05-2005, 02:34 PM

But drummers get the chicks, so it all works out.
