Calling ALL Bruin Fans

Wouldn’t miss it!

Nice post 13-9. Although you know as well as anyone … next year we have a brutal schedule.

Gotta take care of business this weekend.

You know I’ll be there! GO BRUINS!!!

Man, it is quite stressful to plan and organize the ticket selling and tailgating party for a big group of Bruins coming from all over the place.

I really hope for a Bruin victory because I need a pick me up after the lost by the Ben Ball warriors.

Hey Nestor, once the program is consistently back in the top 25, perhaps we can organize a Bruins Nation football game/tailgating extravaganza. I lobby for the Texas game in 2011 at the Rose Bowl. We might actually be favored in that game : )

but alas some of my AZ state friends wanna hang out to tailgate… but either way it’s gonna be some good fun.

Gave up my ticket to the UW game to take my kids to a B-day party. Irony, kid got the flu and the party cancelled. Arrgh! Told my wife today I’m going. She’s none too happy, as there’s another lame school function on Sat. I’ll take one for the team.

Hope I can round up a decent ticket before the game.
Anyone know if they’ll have an extra to sell?

Can"t wait!!! It’ll be our son’s last time as Drum Major on the field!!!!

…with my boy, as always (we’ve gone to nearly every game since he was 3, 10 years now). Tailgating in Lot H. Section 2, Row 16. Gotta get in the stadium early to cheer the seniors (and that now includes the Drum Major, too).

Chef Jeff’s #1 Tailgating Recipe: Bacon-wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos

Get some jalapenos, the bigger the better. Slice off the top cap at an angle. Scoop out the seeds and spines – this is the hot part, you gotta leave a little spine for some kick, but too much is too much.

Stuff them with a mix of shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese, with some bread crumbs to hold the mix together. This is one of the rare times that fat free cheeses can actually work better (‘cause then when you bite into them you won’t have grease dripping down your chin) (and the cheese is here mostly for the creamy texture, there’s plenty of flavor in the other ingredients). Pulverized Cheerios work really well, too, in place of bread crumbs. You may need to microwave for a few seconds or add a couple drops of water to get the mixture to the right consistency to stuff yer lil peppers, make sure you don’t leave any air bubbles. Put a little into the hollowed out caps, too.

Put the caps back on, and secure them with a toothpick (here’s where you’ll see why you sliced the caps off at a bit of an angle). Stick another toothpick through the other end of the jalapeno. Wrap a slice of bacon around each lil pepper, using the toothpicks to secure the bacon. I’ve found it works best with thin sliced bacon as opposed to thick. Bonus points for using blue and gold toothpicks. Do all this the night before the game.

BBQ on the edge of the grill or in a cool zone; if you put them right over the coals the bacon will burn really quickly. Then again, if after you think they’re about done (jalapenos softened up, cheese all melted) and you want to crisp up the bacon a bit, just put them directly over the fire for a few seconds.

Enjoy, they go great with beer. And make enough to share with the Bruin fans in your general tailgating area.

Sorry for the novel (you can see I don’t write recipes for a living). These take some work and it might take a couple times to get the hang of it, but they are so so worth it. GO BRUINS!!!

with the band. look out for our Classical Show, it’ll be amazing (I hope).

I got

It’s my Bday too, and wifee’s is the next day, so she’s planned something for Sat evening. I wonder how early I could get back to Hermosa after the game. Is kick-off at 12:30?
