Back in the day one hundred years ago when Johnnie Football all got started there were probably a few monks gathered ’round a red and white checkered table cloth laid neatly somewhere with a few chucks of fresh Johnnie bread for snacking. Perhaps even a flask of choke cherry wine and some fine home brewed beer could be found nearby too.
And just like cro magnon man who evolved over thousands of years into the present day college student, so has Johnnie Football tailgating. First founded on the worn asphalt just above the south endzone at Clemens Stadium 11 or so years ago, Johnnie Tailagating continues to grow and is now the traditional staging ground for fans looking for pregame chatter and chow.
As a sign of appreciation, solidarity and support, JohnnieFootball.com will sponsor the pregame event this coming Saturday at Carson Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. While supplies last, we’ll have brats, burgers, buns and plenty of fat to chew for fans prior to the SJU – Blugold kick off at 7:00pm.
We’ll begin grilling meats around 5:00pm so bring a tasty treat to share and some of your favorite beverage to sip and savor. There’s not much in the way of rules and regulations at Carson Park but let’s show’em anyway what Benedictine fellowship and responsibility looks like.
Johnnie Tats is rounding up the condiments, TDT is roaming the meat locker as we speak and DustySJU will have his well seasoned Webber Kettle primed for grilling. Anybody can come.
JohnnieUpEverybody!
