The Bill Jones Memorial Tailgate
Well on the eve of the Penn State-Michigan game Amy is busy preparing food for the largest tailgate of the season. The Bill Jones Memorial Tailgate (Alg’s younger brother) consists of four reserved RV spaces on the corner of Fox Hollow Road and Park Ave on the northeast corner of Beaver Stadium. Bill’s roommate from college Rob J.'s RV parked on one end and Bill’s high school friend Kurt B.'s RV parked on the other end leave two full spaces for a large tent to house all of the food and a stage to accommodate the live band that play will play from 3:00 until 7:00 before the game at 8:00. Last year’s Ohio State night game drew almost 300 guests, most not known to us, however all had a great time. There have been claims made that as a result of the fun had by all at the Bill Jones Tailgates last year; Penn State decided to ban the consumption of adult beverages at tailgates while the game is going on in the stadium.  Not only did Penn State enact a new law, Bill Jones laid the law down, no longer could we call our tailgate, “The Bill Jones Tailgate†due to the risk management issues. That was the day we laid the old Bill Jones to rest and hence the new name “The Bill Jones Memorial Tailgateâ€. In closing if any of you find yourself at Beaver Stadium for a football game, stop by and pay your respects to the friends of the Old Bill Jones.                                       Â
