The Full Story
About Us
From its humble beginning in 2012, two friends (Alex & Mark) set out to create something unique with just a late model, purple Ford Ranger, a grill the size of a dinner plate, and a sytrofoam cooler from UDF. We created a place where friends, family, and anyone else who loves to tailgate can meet up to enjoy some college football. It doesn't matter if you do not have tickets, we don't either sometimes! Instead we make sure to have a TV ready to cheer on the Bearcats from the parking lot.
​
Sadly in 2016 Mark passed away unexpectedly and new friends we made along the way stepped up to the plate to continue to help make these events a success.
​
Since then several of us have been separated by distance, but many come back to Cincinnati on occasion to join in on the pregame activities. It doesn't matter whether its for Homecoming or just another snooze fest against Miami Ohio.
Where we are now.
Continuing with our mission to provide a place to hang out before and during the game, we have upgraded our gear a bit. Its our yearly tradition to debate what to upgrade, replace, or what to finally put to rest. RIP Purple Ford Ranger...
Where it started
Fast forward a couple years, and we stumbled our way into a dumpster tent, a harbor freight generator, and a laptop to start having a place for everyone to watch the game.
