Game? What Game?

(If you have any trouble seeing the pictures in any post, click on it and an enlarged version will come up.)
Sooooo Purdue played Notre Dame on Saturday. We went.... to the tailgate. This is pretty much all I saw of the game.


Yeah, I think that's a helmet? :) Ha!

Hey at least they were tied 0-0 then.
Anyway, the Tailgate was super fantastic. Weather was marvelous. It didn't rain all day! We were so lucky.

We were able to see many friends although we were sad that some could not make it. :( Yep, that's a sad face. But the friends we did see had as much fun as we did as you'll see down below.


This, my friends, is BEERSTICK. Well technically, it's a device used to draw paint into that tube like a syringe but when you're in college, it's Beerstick.

Ahhh, those were the days. College... when you would pretty much drink out of anything.










Here's an action shot of Aaron drinking from the Beerstick.

















Here's a shot of Mandy partaking.
















This is a particularly great shot of Tiffany drinking from the Beerstick with beer splashing out everywhere.

(Oh and please do not make any rude comments about what these pictures look like. Come on! That's my brother. Ew.)


Moving on, so the tailgate opened at noon and the game started at 8 pm. That's one long day. But many things happened....

I became a Butterfly Whisperer.

We saw the Chick-fil-a Cow who was handing out coupons.

 

(Kevin is excited about the coupons in the background.)







I got to see my Sibs! Keiper Kids Reunite! (I Love that Brandon wore the Purdue Grandma shirt I got him for Xmas so long ago. Saaa-weet.)

We saw many shotgunned beers.

Here we are re-enacting a scene from the Port-o-pots earlier in the day.

I'm not kidding you when I say we saw a young man spewing everything he had with his head down in that-place-that-is-SO-VERY-WRONG in a Port-o-pot.  NASTY.  Mandy was the kind soul who came to his rescue and realized that he was more than just "drunk".  She opened the door to make sure he was okay.  He stood up backed up two steps and crashed down on the ground passing out cold with vomit all down his shirt.  The ambulance was called and he was taken away most likely to have his stomach pumped.  His jerk friends were planning on leaving him there.  It was very sad.  Way to go Mandy for pretty much saving that poor guy's life.  SCARY!
So kids, if you learn anything from this post, it is this- Make sure your friends aren't jerks and NEVER drink enough to think it's OKAY to have your face hanging down in a Port-o-pot seat!!! Ew. 


On to other things.... PHOTOBOMBING!!! There were random acts of photobombing during the tailgate.

In this first one, the four main guys look goofy enough.  But the fact that Matt is in the background rolling out a dignified photobomb, it's just the icing on the cake.

(This one you must see the large version.)






Here's another example of the classic photobomb.

A nice picture of all the girls and some dude (KEVIN!) jumps in to save it from getting too serious.
(Awww, look! Diane swallowed a basketball!! CUTE!)









The rest of the evening went on with the usual pics.

Here's another Pot Shot. 

Getting goofier. 

Awww, family!

I love this picture! So cute!
In-Laws having a great time together :)
(Hopefully not wondering why they joined the Keiper family :)

This is the only picture we got that was actually semi-normal.... I know, I know.   









 This picture is around 12:30 am.  So 12 hours after beginning the day drinking, we were ending the day drinking.  Actually, no.  We went to Nine Irish Brothers, ordered 3 beers, looked at them, and then walked out.  We could drink no more.  It was very sad.  Actually after looking at the picture below, I think it was the right decision for these guys.

So for those of you wondering how the game was (Who are you and what are you doing reading my blog?), here's a quick little recap, if you really want to know.
