\"\"<\/a>Rob and I have been alternating vacations the last few weeks so we’re a little later than we meant to be with this, but we are pleased to announce the first official JMUSB Tailgate Extravaganza and officially extend an invitation to our readers. \u00a0Here are the details.<\/p>\n

We’ve reserved one of the big ole 55-person “motorcoaches” for this one. \u00a0We hope you’ll agree that the prospect of not having to worry about driving to this rare and exciting game is more than worth the extra freight, not to mention this is just going to be a ridiculously good time!<\/p>\n

RSVP: If you would like to join us, please drop us an email at jmusportsblog@gmail.com or better yet, FB message us. \u00a0Include the your name, the number of seats you’d like to purchase and the email address where you’d like a PayPal invoice sent (likely set this Thursday evening).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tickets<\/strong>: Everyone is responsible for their own game tickets. \u00a0There are plenty available and we do not anticipate the game selling out. \u00a0There is currently a Living Social deal for half-off tix<\/a> if you don’t care where you sit. \u00a0Otherwise, we encourage you to order through JMU.<\/a><\/div>\n
For those of you familiar with FedEx or who have been to a college bowl game, the “JMU side” of the stadium will be what is normally the Visitor’s Side.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More Info:\u00a0<\/strong>Dogwood opens for brunch on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. \u00a0As some of you may know, their sister establishment Ragtime is a huge WVU bar. \u00a0We aim to make them look like a bunch of amateurs.<\/div>\n
There is a CVS and a convenience store (7 Stars!) right next door in the event you forget sunscreen, umbrellas, beer, ice, advil, Diet Coke, coolers, ATM, beer pong balls, etc.<\/div>\n
Food and Bev: \u00a0At this time, this is strictly a BYO event. \u00a0The bus has room for plenty of coolers underneath and we may encourage a “mini cooler” setup for the onboard trip up there but we’ll fill that in once we have the full list for the bus.<\/div>\n
