I m a huge Emily fanA nice article on Martin Strayer support for wrestling in general and Penn State wrestling specifically.

Picture of Martin and his wife, Dixie Chick Emily Strayer, at Rec Hall. Sadly, Emily didn't make the trip the afternoon that I was drinking with Martin.
Me: Lauren Williams (sliver medalist 100m '04). She asked me to hand here a drink from the cooler and I handed her a beer and said, "don't drop it". If you get that it's hilarious (she thought so as well, good sense of humor).
My Dad: 2011 AFC championship PIT v. NYJ at Heinz Field. Dad walked away from our tailgate to meet my sister. Never did find her as she showed up at our tailgate shortly after he left. He came back about an hour later and said he was with some Jet's fan at his RV. He tells us he was a big guy with a Hulk Hogan type mustache. He and his son were in from NY and huge jets fans. My Dad talked of how nice the RV was that they had some beers and talked about, "old school" football, Joe Namath, and motorcycles. Dad says these guys told me they make bikes. I put two and two together and showed him a pic on my phone. Yep he was hanging out with Paul, his son, and the crew from American Choppers. My Dad had never seen the show and they never mentioned it. I'm sure they were just relieved to have some normal conversation with a football fan.

I’ll be damn. I happened to have been at that game as well (MSU and Spartan Stadium is an underrated venue, IMO - and always a good time out there)
Anyway, also happened to have tailgated at that game w someone who would probably fit the profile of “most notorious/famous” (but I ain’t gonna’ say who)
Stormin' Normin Schwartzkoff?
Not at a tailgate, but I met Navarro Bowman”s mom when we were both pumping out the shitter in our RV”s before he declared. Really liked her, nice lady and pretty funny. I knew he wasn’t coming back, but had to ask her, “He’s coming back, right?” She looked me dead int the eye and said, “No.” I can’t do justice to the humor in her voice. She was awesome.
Me...simply because i am #1PSU
I love this board.

A little Emily for you with then boyfriend, now husband, Martin pimping his Penn State Wrestling shirt in the background.
Here she is sitting right behind me in this pic from a PSU/Michigan wrestling match - I don't think anyone knew who she was (FTR those are not my normal seats). Her husband Martin is two seats to my left, their daughter was sitting in the empty seat immediately next to me but wandered off somewhere. Martin's dad, former PSU wrestler Marty Strayer, is sitting to Martin's left.

my son and I took a bus trip down to see Phil Davis fight in Pittsburgh before he was signed to the UFC and got to hang around with Phil's dad.....very cool guy
At Penn State. It wasn't exactly "tailgating," per se. It was more like hanging out outside a bar that I couldn't get into. And now that I think back on it, it might not have been Nicole Kidman. I think it was just some homeless woman.
so you got treated by Nassar?I’ll be damn. I happened to have been at that game as well (MSU and Spartan Stadium is an underrated venue, IMO - and always a good time out there)

If parents count...LLoyd Engle.
Altho that was so long ago, I'm not sure if they even did tailgating back then.
And if you are a Penn State fan and don't know who he is...shame, shame.
I attended games for which Mr. Engle got us tickets but never attended a game with him.
But I do remember going to look at a herd of cattle with he and my father.

Franco Harris
Lydell Mitchell
Was invited to Franco's tailgate by a mutual friend. I was wearing a PSU polo shirt and Steelers cap so Franco and I talked for a while.
Ended up talking to Lydell for a long time. Great guy.

LOL - Someone has a sharper memory than I do... Is that you. Terry?
Not a tailgate, but I walked with Curtis Enis and his Ohio State buddies from about the tennis courts by Shields Bldg. to the opposite side of Beaver Stadium.
I was carrying three 1/2-gallons of Creamery ice cream from the Creamery to my car as I was parked in seemingly Bellefonte and I hear, "Who is Penn State's greatest RB ever?" Not thinking it was directed to me I just kept walking. Then I heard it again only louder.
So I look to my right and a lineman-sized Ohio State fan repeats the question and adds "Is Saquon Barkley Penn State's greatest RB?"
I said, "Not yet but he's on his way to being the best ever." I added, "I'd say either Curt Warner or Ki-Jana Carter" and added "Curtis Enis was a beast."
And out from the right side of the Ohio State fan appears - Curtis Enis. I then proceeded to tell that guy about Curtis' performance against USC in the Meadowlands and then chatted with Curtis as we walked.
Very nice guy. He was with his Ohio State insurance buddies he knew and they were walking to find some tailgate they were invited to somewhere over there.

No. My wife and her sorority sisters knew a number of Fijis as undergrads. I got to meet some of them myself. Nice guys.
She’ll just have to remove itHope the flag-kini doesn't trigger anyone
