Congratulations OrangeMane! - The Orange Mane

BlueDamsel · 01-03-2005, 11:09 AM

The OF1/OrangeMane tailgate won the Most Valuable Tailgater award this weekend at the Indy game (part one

).

We'd like to thank you all for making this possible, and for helping to bring back the spirit to Mile High.

Congratulations Meck!

FADERPROOF · 01-03-2005, 11:46 AM

I think this deserves to be on the main board for a bit...

Smilin Assassin · 01-03-2005, 11:55 AM

Way to go guys!!

I don't think I'm alone in saying, this is LONG overdue!

Taco John · 01-03-2005, 12:08 PM

Hey! Why is Elton John holding up our trophy!

Spider · 01-03-2005, 12:11 PM

Way to go Meckster .......... Hire Patch to polish that trophy 200.00 a year should cover his wages

Hotrod · 01-03-2005, 12:18 PM

What took so long I guess they were saving the best for last.

Oh crap its the first of the year is patchy coming back

Tredici · 01-03-2005, 12:18 PM

Excellent!

BlueDamsel · 01-03-2005, 12:33 PM

And another shot -- We proudly flew our OrangeMane name on the bus, on behalf of all the members of this site who followed the bus from it's concept to the trophy...Thanks to all those who helped, visited, contributed!

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

BlueDamsel · 01-03-2005, 12:43 PM

Okay - Academy Award Thank You Speech Time:

First of all - TacoJohn - Thank you for setting up the BEST Broncos fan site on the web...Without you there would not be this great support network of orangemaners all over the world...For example, BroncofanNZ travelled from New Zealand to come to the tailgate!

Nuggets04 is the one responsible for hooking us up with Metalikids/Humanox. He wasn't even in town for the game, but he was there in spirit. That is an example of how the online tailgate that never ends, merges with the tailgate lot at mile high.

We'd also like to thank the people who have been around to help us out all season long. There has been a lot of behind the scenes stuff that required a lot of help from you guys...Between cleaning up, loading up, driving and organizing...Pacino, Discoman, OrangeKnight, CBF1 & BroncoGal (They organized the entire San Diego Party!), Meck...All y'all are very special people!

Crushaholic · 01-03-2005, 12:56 PM

Congratulations, guys and gals. The OF1 won the tailgate award and the Broncos are on their way to the playoffs. It only gets better from here...

Smilin Assassin · 01-03-2005, 12:57 PM

So does this mean you guys get the #1 tailgating lot in the 1st home game NEXT season?

BlueDamsel · 01-03-2005, 12:58 PM

Some pics are being uploaded now...If anyone else took pictures yesterday, Please Please PLEASE email them to me? I'm begging?

Meck77 · 01-03-2005, 12:58 PM

I want to chime in to personally thank Blue Damsel for all her hard work and yes it has been work. More a labor of love I'd say for her. I met her at a tailgate in Lot G last year and from the very first moment I met her I knew she had more Broncos spirit than just about anyone I had ever met. If it was not for her orangization this year would not have been possible.

She played a huge roll in the creation of the bus itself from concept, to scheduling, running the computer and sat system all year (no easy task), planning the tailgates, making signs, decorating, helping people with logistics while traveling to town, cleaning the bus, hauling tailgate gear the list goes on and on.

She really has lived up to her name as Assistant Tailgate Coordinator and I thank you Melissa for all of your effort.

Here is to a bigger and better year next year!

I can't tell you how much fun it has been for us this year meeting all you guys. I just wish that more of you could meet one another in 1 place at 1 time.

We'll see how far this season takes us and we are definetly planning on going to Canton again for a reunion regardless of who gets inducted into the HOF.

Madak · 01-03-2005, 12:58 PM

way to go congrats on the award!!!

Well it means the ORANGEMANE get's the #1 tailgating spot up front next year for the first home game is my understanding.

That rocks. And like I said, it's long overdue.

And I wanna echo what was said about BlueDamsel. To say she goes above and beyond would be an understatement.

That goes for the whole OrangeForceOne crew. Meck, Disco, Damsel and the great Maners I got to meet on my one trip out west.

Keep it up guys, and thanks again.

PatsWin2002 · 01-03-2005, 01:49 PM

So there's everyone else in winter coats, hats, gloves.....and once again Meck is there in short sleeves, sunglasses, summer hat......

I can't tell if those are shorts or not.

Damn right. Now I just need to remember to ask for 10% booking fee next time. Or groupies.

broncoblue · 01-03-2005, 03:05 PM

Well Done......you Treated Me Like A King ,,,,you Deserve It .....see You In 2/3 Years !!!!!!

Mtbrncofn · 01-03-2005, 03:28 PM

Very cool guys and gals! Congrats on all your hard work. I hope to witness your hospitality in person some year.

Pezman · 01-03-2005, 03:43 PM

Fantastic work guys! Salute to the best tailgaters!!!

We were still jobbed in the past but meh... we all know who has the best tailgate!

Here's to an even better 2005 tailgate!

Sodak · 01-03-2005, 04:26 PM

Not that I doubt the power of OrangeForceOne, I believe it is a splendid thing to behold...

But what are the criteria for winning such an award?

Oh, and congratulations!!!!!!

BlueDamsel · 01-03-2005, 05:20 PM

Sodak - The MVT contest is something that the Broncos marketing department does on a weekly basis in order to try to bring back the tailgating spirit...

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.

We kinda got hosed on the most orange game, but we finally got our names engraved on the trophy with the "Loudest Party" theme...We brought in the Metalikids/HumanoX to help raise the decible level...and they were successful - there was even a few people that came over & asked us to "turn that down".

I just got an email back from the tailgating person who says that we get the party on the pad & the prizes at the first pre-season game of next year. So, let's hope it's a good one?!?

Blueflame · 01-03-2005, 05:24 PM

Congratulations to the whole OF1 crew.... the honor was, I believe, overdue, but well-deserved. Kudos!
