We Are The Champions

A poignant drama unfolded in the background (or is it really the foreground) of the homecoming football game on 15-OCT-2011 as alumni from the classes of 1974-1975 emerged victorious to establish who sets the pace for dedicated and inspiring tail'gate parties.

Not captured well in this static photo is the fact that this soon-to-be legendary tail'gate made a statement of estethic strength and beauty rivaled only by the marble legacy of antiquity...

During the game, a steady rain was driven into the eyes of indefatigable fans by sustained winds of 15 to 30 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH (http://www.fox23news.com/weather/alertdetail.aspx?DetailID=1477811). Fortunately, ponchos (price estimates escalating rapidly) were made available to soggy onlookers through the largesse of JMB ('74).

About

Personal journal of "The Trophy" that will chronicle its adventures from the hands of one tail'gate party to another. This trophy is bestowed on the winners of the best tail'gate at each home game of the Colgate University football team. In principle, the trophy is to be passed from one winner to the next through an official intermediary from Colgate University. In practice... catch me if you can.
