Anyone interested in what a Catamount 'writer' thinks?

FUBear, " insane drivel " might be a better phrase.

More links! - I had our IT Security Team check these though...they're OK

I didn't see the RESERVED for Visitor's Tailgate Location on the Campus Map though...hoping for a SWEET spot like the Catamount faithful rec'd when they visited Macon last Fall - right next to the Stadium with a great Tailgating situation. Any guidance on that?

Also - this is an interesting video about Cullowhee - pretty country for sure - 

"General Parking, WCU & Visiting Fan Tailgating" is not exactly a designated, RESERVED Tailgate spot like the great location right next to the stadium the Catamount Fans were given last Fall in Macon, is it?

No worries - we'll find our spot & turn up - just like we did in Lexington, B'Ham, Chattanooga (woohoo, that was a good one & a great game too...came up just a few inches short dangit!), and Spartanburg. They wouldn't provide any assistance in reserving a Visitor's Tailgating location either. I guess FU, WCU, and ElCid fans pulled one over on the 'new kid' last year with the cooperation and reserved tailgating locations their fans were provided by Mercer. Oh well...it's a shame schools in the SoCon can't get together on that and come to a reciprocal agreement. Sure would make those away games more fun, easier to manage for visiting fans...and might even lead to increased attendance...

We'll see if what you say is true.

It was NOT true at VMI, Samford, Chattanooga, or Wofford. I will say that Samford was the most helpful of those 4. After repeated calls to various officials there, a conference call was held with about 10 folks on the line from Samford. End result - they stuck a 3 foot high sign in the ground which said "Visitor's Tailgate." The sign was adjacent to a General, Non-Reserved parking area; the farthest one from the stadium, and, really the only one with absolutely no trees/shade/grass nearby. That was the BEST cooperation rec'd from any of the 4. Needless to say, we did NOT tailgate there. Instead, we commandeered a beautiful location near the stadium with trees and grass all around and had a marvelous time. We have a large group that arrives early and goes hard. It would be nice, though, if some of our later arrivals were able to join us.

At VMI, they make you park like Six Flags....each car in is directed to the furthest available spot. They would not reserve a spot for us. We overcame that day by 'rallying' at the Kroger nearby and did our best to stay together and enter as a caravan. Later arriving Bears fans were just SOL.

At Chatt, they would not reserve a spot. When we set up our fabulous tailgate on the grassy medians in their parking lot, they tried to charge us $25 in addition to the parking fees we already paid because those are 'reserved' for Motor Homes. So we moved everything. No motor homes showed and there were dozens of available grassy medians that we could have used.

At Wofford, again, they would not reserve a spot and the Parking guys told us to move after we were already set up in General Parking because, I don't know, because he wanted to, I guess. Well, it was our 1st Team All-American Tailgater's last game as a Football Parent and he put his foot down - told the guy, he'd have to pry his satellite dish from his cold, dead hands if he wanted to move him. We did not move and there was plenty of room for Bears fans to join us. Most had to adopt the FU (not referring to that school in Greenville) approach to their ParkingNazi's and their threats.

Maybe it was just a 'haze-the-new-guys' approach, but we did not encounter any of the halcyon experience you describe. Looking forward to seeing what we see in TheWhee, Chucktown, and GreenVegas this year...and hoping for a much better result.

You do realize this is their second season with any scholarship athletes and just third overall.
We have GA Tech on schedule next year.
I think we are right on course with the schedule.
