Hope to see some out of staters here, and if you haven't already registered for the Alumni Association's Official Bobcat Bash, see the link earlier in this thread to do so. And if you are traveling and need details to find the site of Bunch of Grapes Tavern in Boston, Manasseh Cutler's home/church/grave site, Rufus Putnam's home, etc, also PM me.

I purchased parking passes from UMASS at 1-866-UMASSTIX, and I have to additional for Lot 22 if anyone is traveling and is in need.

I am coordinating a tailgate starting at 11:30am (four hours prior to kick) for any Bobcats who are making the trip to Amherst. If you want deets, PM me and I'll send you a link to my FB event. I'll be set up in Lot 22, as close as I can get to the stadium, and I do have two extra parking passes if anyone is in need.

There will also be a gathering Friday night as well as post game Saturday (see above in Ted's post) at Amherst Brewing/The Hangar Pub (https://www.amherstbrewing.com /), so you can consider that OHIO's hang for the weekend.

Add this link because it has some lodging info and othrer things.
Know you have a post game, but may go see a really good Reggie band, up the road from the Hanger.

Big compliments on those sandwiches D.A. wife made from everyone. Great job on the setup too. Tailgate had a shout out from Russ and Rob on bobcat radio.
