Tailgate Parties

| | | | | | | |

Welcome to the Coach's Clubhouse of Fun Tailgate Parties and information page.

Information about our yearly tailgate parties is located here. We kick off each season with the Coach's Cookout in April every year. We kick off the summer season with AC's Birthday Bash Weekend each May, featuring a golf tournament and a tailgate party. August features the Burger Light BBQ in honor of our friend Big Juan's affection for Burger Light. We wrap up the tailgating season with Max Power's Gathering each September on Fan Appreciation Night. And occassionally we add events as needed, such as this summer's return of Everyone Gets (More) Head.

2007 Schedule:

Coach's Cookout

Coach's Cookout I

Wednesday, April 25, 2001

Brewers 7, NY Mets 2

In attendence with me were Chris, Joe, Steve, and Tony.

How about a game of catch? I have the glove, the beer, and the jacket (hey, it's cold in April). And, fear not, no beer was harmed (or left undrank) in the making of this photograph.

Coach's Cookout II

Thursday, April 18, 2002

Brewers 7, St. Louis 5

At the game with me were Cathy, Chris, Lesley, Pete, Ricky, Steve and Teana.

Pete and I salute Richie Sexson who hit 2 HRs on the evening, the first game of the short-lived Jerry Royster era as Brewers manager.

Coach's Cookout III

Sunday, April 6, 2003

San Francisco 5, Brewers 0

Joining me for this year's festivities were Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, "Rev. Dudley Dawson", Gina, Golberg, Gonzo, Hocker, Megan, Natrone K., Patrick, Pete, Steve, Tony, Tyler, and Wiese.

In the almost half of group photo we have (left to right) Hocker, me, Big Juan, Dan, Nate, Golberg and in the front row, striking his HBK Shawn Michaels pose is the "Rev. Dudley Dawson".

In this picture featuring Pete's Blazer, we have (left to right) "Rev. Dudley Dawson", Hocker, Dan, Pete, Golberg, Big Juan and Nate.

Coach's Cookout IV
Saturday, May 1, 2004
Pittsburgh 8, Brewers 7 (10 inn.)

Helping me celebrate the fourth Coach's Cookout were Cathy, Chris, Dianna, Gonzo, Laura, Marcus, Megan, Steve, Steve O., Teana, Tommer, Tyler and Wheels.

Here is the customary majority of the group photo, going left to right with a brief description to help you figure out who everyone is. Tyler (holding card and red cup), Marcus (has bottle of Jager), Aaron (looks like is slamming Jager), Cathy (red gloves), Wheels (down in front with Braves cap on), Chris (holding beer and wearing winter coat), Steve-o (smiling and next to Chris), Steve O. (leaning next to Wheels hloding beer and glove), Megan (holding nothing except Gonzo), and Gonzo (holding card and has a bottle in his pocket). Not pictured are Dianna, Laura, Teana and Tommer.

Teana and Dianna are in the house and having fun, but you do have to wonder one thing from this picture. Is that just a mini helmet that Dianna is wearing, or did her head grow after buying it? OK, it came full of cheese fries....and I think was empty before it became a hat, but I am not sure.

Normally I come up with witty things to say, and they may or may not be funny. Here, well, really, who's reading this anyway? If you want an interesting tale, Aaron was nicknamed Troy, Laura was nicknamed Victoria. Why? Who the hell knows. Now, go back to looking at the photo.

Coach's Cookout V

Sunday, April 17, 2005

Cardinals 3, Brewers 2

Celebrating the return of tailgating for the 2005 season were Adam, Benny, Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, Christina, Dan, Dave K., Golberg, Gonzo, Jenni, Jerry, Jordan, Josh F., Josh G., Leslie, Lucky, Mary, Megan, Natrone K., Patrick, Steve, Steve O., and Wheels.

This is a first, I think everyone was accounted for in the group photo. Sing along with me here; we are going left to right. In the first row (or, in front of the bridge) are Josh G., Jerry, Steve, AC, Wheels (in front of me), Natrone K., Adam G., Big Juan, Patrick, Dave ("Copperfield"), Jordan, and Jenni. On the bridge we have Cathy, Mary, Benny, Christina, Dan (barely visable over Christina's left shoulder), Steve O., Lucky, Chris, Golberg (raising his cup), Gonzo and Megan (they are married now, so I can combine them!), Josh F., and Leslie. If you were counting along you would have all 25, but really, why the hell would you have been counting?

Benny, Steve and Mary are hanging out before the game. I bought Steve a 40 of Miller Lite, Mary brought me an autographed photo of her brother (who is a WWE superstar), and Ben got nothing but did a lot of complaining that I didn't bring him a forty. But he bought me a beer inside the stadium, so we all were involved in the gift process.

You got a whole lot of different things going on in this photo. Benny is still drinking, Josh F. and Leslie look all happy togehter, Jerry looks sad that the Brewers lost, Gonzo is apparently just happy to be in the company of Steve and Chris, and Big Juan must have thought the Brewers won, because he is thumbs up!

Coach's Cookout VI

Sunday, April 9, 2006

Arizona 7, Brewers 0

Celebrating the first 'Retro Sunday' at Miller Park were Amber B., Amber Br., Andrea, Announcer Steve, Ashley, Big Juan, Camisha, Cathy, Chris, Golberg, Gonzo, Jamie*, Josh F., Katie*, Lisa, Lori, Matt, Megan, Melissa, Pam, Perry, Steve O., Tony*, and Tyler.

Here is the lineup for the most-of-group photo. We'll start first with the people not pictured to protect their identity. Those people were Big Juan, Chris, Matt, and Tony. Now, going left to right starting with the front row, we have Katie, Tyler, Camisha, and Lisa. In the middle row (not standing on the bridge) we have Jamie, Ashley, Amber B., Steve O., your party host, Andrea, Josh F., Megan, and Gonzo. Rounding things out on the Golberg/Stauffer Bridge we have Cathy, Perry, Golberg, Pam, Lori, Amber (soon to be) M., Melissa, and Announcer Steve.

The CBS58 tech crew is accounted for. Working hard to ensure your television entertainment is what we do....sometimes. However, every so often we take a break and that is why Big Juan, Bronco, Jelly, and Steve O. are seen here hanging out and posing for a photo.

After the game everyone was still in good spirits, even though the Brewers lost, for the fourth consecutive Cookout. As you look at this photo, peek to your right and check out Steve O. and Gonzo. I don't know what the hell they were doing, but it really makes you wonder what was in Gonzo's Mountain Dew bottle. As for Steve O. there is no doubt what was in his bottle; beer.

Coach's Cookout VII

Saturday, April 7, 2002

Chicago Cubs 6, Brewers 3

Attending the Battle for Miller Park were Andy, Angela*, Ashley S., Becca, Cathy, Chris, Firgens, Golberg, Gonzo, Jack, Jerry, Jim, Kelly, Kim, Krista*, Lori, Megan, Perry, Rick, Shelley, Steve, Steve O., Tyler, and Wheels. More to follow.

AC's Birthday Bash

AC's Birthday Bash 2001

Sunday, July 29, 2001

San Diego 12, Brewers 5

At the initial event with me were Araby*, Cathy, Chris, Gabe, Gina, Gonzo, Jerry, Joe, Noel, Perry, Steph, Tony and Tyler.

Gabe (left), Perry (center) and I (what do you think?) finally get our turn to eat. And, while it may look like Perry got his shirt from Bill Walton, those rumors are false. Gabe decided to show off the guns and I well, look at that hair color. It's nice having that hair color naturally.

AC's Birthday Bash 2002

Sunday, July 28, 2002

Brewers 5, Colorado 3

At this year's big event, joining me were Andy, Angela, Big Juan, Dianna, Gabe, Golberg, Gonzo, Megan, Natalie, Steve, Teana and Tyler.

In the roughly half of the group photo we have (from left to right) Steve, Golberg (on truck), AC, Angela, Gabe, Gonzo, Tyler.

Here is a riddle. If I am the good looking guy on the left (work with me here, OK) and Teana is on the right, then can you figure out where Dianna is?

AC's Birthday Bash 2003

Sunday, July 13, 2003

Cincinnati 10, Brewers 8 (12 inn.)

Joining me for my birthday celebration were Announcer Steve, Benny, Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, Golberg, Gonzo, Gregory, Hamme, Hocker, Jerry, Jess, Megan, Natrone K., Noel*, Perry*, Pete, Steve, Telli, Tyler, Wheels, and Wiese.

In the most of group photo are the following attendees.

Row 1 (L to R): Wheels, Cathy, Chris, Megan

Row 2: Tyler, Dan, Hamme, Nate,

Row 3: Jess, Golberg, Benny, Greg, AC, Perry, Hocker, Jerry, Gonzo

Row 4: Pete (on truck), Big Juan, Steve-o

Not Pictured: Announcer Steve, Noel and Telli

Cold.....ah.....beer? here. Big Juan displays the totally unofficial beer of tailgate parties everywhere. The refreshing taste of cow and ketchup in every sip. Burger Light, what it lacks in taste it....hmmm, well, it's cheap. Burger Light is the beer that bites. When you aren't sure if you're hungry or thirsty this is the product for you. What else can you say about Burger Light except at least I didn't drink (or eat) it.

AC's Birthday Bash 2004

Sunday, June 13, 2004

Houston 5, Brewers 4

At the big, prestigious event with me were Andy, Cathy, Chris, Dave, Golberg, Gonzo, Gregory, Jerry, Kristy, Laura, Megan, Nate, Nicole, Patrick, Perry, Rachel, Ryan, Steve, Steve O., Tony, Tyler, Vanessa, Wheels, and Wiese*.

Here is the traditional most of group photo. In the front row (left to right) are Gonzo, Wheels, Steve and Tyler. In the second row we have Jerry, Cathy, Chris, Perry, Aaron, Nate and Patrick. And on the bridge in row three we see Nicole, Ryan, Golberg, Vanessa, Andy (in front of Vanessa), Kristy, and Steve O.

Yes, you are seeing a tailgating record. Eight of us decided to step to the plate to do the shot of choice, the ever popular Jagerbomb. (L to R) We can see Tony, Perry, Steve (bottle only), Jerry, Tyler, Aaron, Nate and Wheels all getting in to the act.

And finally, Laura and Rachel got to the party. For the record, Laura was on the left, Rachel was on the right, and I was in heaven because I was between two angels. Wow, that was sweeter than a Jagerbomb.

AC's Birthday Bash '05

Sunday, June 26, 2005

Minnesota 5, Brewers 2

Stopping by to help me celebrate my birthday were Andy, Benny, Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, Golberg, Jerry, Katie, Kristy, Lesley, Lori, Luke, Steve, Tyler, and Wheels.

Here is a look at the traditional group photo, and as expected we are using Golberg's Bridge as the setting. In row one, going from the left to the right, are Kristy being held by Golberg, Andy, Lori, Katie, Luke, Tyler, Big Juan (with a cameo appearance by a can of Burger Classic), and of course, our good friend Wheels. On the Bridge we have Cathy, Steve, Benny, Chris, Lesley, Aaron, and Jerry. Now, go back to Wheels for a moment. You'll notice he's wearing Braves gear (the Brewers faced the Twins), and he is without a hotdog, because Golberg refused to turn the grill back on to make it for him. Now, I find it funny because it prompted Wheels to use a term involving the letter f and the word you.

AC's Birthday Bash '06

Sunday, May 21, 2006

Brewers 5, Minnesota 3

At the annual birthday celebration with the birthday boy were Adam, Amanda, Amber, Andy, Angela, Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, Dave, Golberg, Gonzo, Jim, Josh F., Lisa, Lori, Megan, Pam, Perry, Shelley, Steve O., Tony, Tyler, and Wheels.

AC's Birthday Bash '07

Sunday, May 20, 2005

Brewers 6, Minnesota 5

Helping Aaron get even older were Amber, Angela, Brian, Cathy, Chris, Dave, Golberg, Gonzo, Jerry, Jim, Josh, Juan, Katie K., Lisa, Mandi, Michael, Mike, Nate K., Patrick, Perry, Steve, Steve O., Tony, Tyler, and Wheels. 5 others whose names TBA.

Max Power Gathering

1st Max Power Gathering

Saturday, September 20, 2003

Arizona 10, Brewers 4

Helping me to break in a new yearly tradition were Bob, Brenda, Cathy, Chris, Dorwyn, Gregory, Heather R., Jerry, John, Joe, Niki, Perry, Pete, Tony*, Tyler and Wheels.

In the traditional one-third of group photo, we have Wheels in the front row, (from left to right) Big Juan, Joe and Cathy, and in the back row, with arms extended in V formation is Chris.

It was just like old times as Niki, Heather and I hung out. Now, let's play a great game. The girl on the right is Heather, Niki is on the left. Can you figure out who the great looking guy in the middle is? If you can't you really haven't been paying too much attention to this site.

2nd Max Power Gathering

Saturday, September 25, 2004

Brewers 8, Houston 0

Making it to the inconveniently rescheduled time game with me were Big Juan, Bob, Brenda, Cathy, Chris, Dan, Erin, Golberg, Greg, Jelka, Jerry, Karrels, Kory, Laura*, Perry, Rachel*, Shelly, Steve O., Tabytha, Tommer, Tony, and Tyler.

At the second annual Max Power Gathering the Brewers moved the game time to accomidate those bastards at Fox, so if we look sleepy, that's why. Anywho, I will attempt to let you know who appears in the most of group photo, so try to follow me. In front of Golberg's Bridge we have (as always going left to right) Tony, Greg and Tommer. That was the easy part. Sitting on the railing in the far upper left is Tabytha, then Chris, Cathy hovering over me, Shelly and Kory, Golberg (kneeling holding his sack of nuts), Dan behind him, Steve O. who is barely visable, Jalka (looking to her left), Erin (who is even harder to spot than Weiss), Karrels, Perry (in the white shirt with yellow sleeves), Jerry, Tyler (standing in front of the railing), and John (aka Big Juan). Did you get all that? Well, why? Was it really that important? Could you not go on living if you didn't know where I was or where Jerry was hiding? And I won't even begin to tell you who wasn't in the picture. Let me sum it up by saying it was fun and you should have been there, but in case you weren't here's a picture to let you know what you missed.

Must be time to do a shot, which was unusual for the 2004 season. This time around we have a record of 12 people throwing down. Pictured are (from left to right) Jerry, Steve O., Jelka, Greg (behind Jelka), Golberg, Dan, Cathy, John, Shelly, Tabytha, Aaron, and Tony.

3rd Max Power Gathering

Saturday, September 24, 2005

Brewers 8, St. Louis 7

Attending the final tailgate of the 2005 season with me were Amanda, Ashley, Bob, Brenda, Cathy, Chris, Golberg, Gonzo, Jeff, Missy, Perry, Tony, Tyler, and Wheels.

Since the weather outside Miller Park was questionable, the normal group photo was delayed and done inside the stadium. In this glimpse of the action we have in the front row (from left to right) Chris' awesome parents Bob and Brenda, Jeff, Amanda, and one of Golberg's two dates on the evening (whose name escapes me at the moment). In the middle row we have Ashley and Missy (Iceberg's other date for the night). In the back row it's Gonzo, Chris, Cathy, Perry, and the aforementioned Golberg.

Perry, Tony, Tyler, and I weren't afraid of the rain, so we decided to drink a little. Here we are doing a shot, while I try to pull off the look of a horseman in honor of Brewers left fielder Carlos Lee by wearing an awesome cowboy hat.

4th Max Power Gathering

Saturday, September 23, 2006

Brewers 10, San Francisco 8

Coming out to the ball park one last time in 2006 were Big Juan, Bob, Brenda, Cathy, Chris, Gonzo, Lisa, Megan, Perry, Shelly and Wheels.

Minty breathy with some shots of Doctors. Juan and Perry are on the bridge, while B and B are on the left, with Chris and I next to them (don't ask), Gonzo and Megan next to that, and Lisa and Shelley surrounding Wheels. Why does he get all the chicks?

This is just what it looks like in the CBS 58 control room. Well, not quite, but it should be. I finally got my hat back from Juan, and the bottle too, but Juan was double-fisting. And yes, that was a Keystone Light he was drinking.

Burger Light BBQ

Burger Light BBQ version 1.0

Saturday, August 14, 2004

Florida 11, Brewers 1

Celebrating the new exent with me were Benny, Erica, Erika, Golberg, Gonzo, Gregory, Heather, Hocker, Jerry, Megan, Niki, Perry, Steve, Steve O., Tony, and Tyler.

As has become the tradition in 2004, we get the most of group photo taken by Golberg's Bridge. From left to right in front of the bridge are Erika, Tyler, and Niki. On the bridge are Jerry, Perry, Golberg, Benny, Steve, Greg, Hocker, Aaron, Gonzo, and Megan.

Here is a picture of Steve and Erica, with a guest appearance of the Jim Gantner bobblehead that was given away on this August evening. And hey, let's credit Steve for being able to make it through the game without passing out in his car!

Burger Light BBQ version 2.0

Saturday, August 27, 2005

Atlanta 8, Brewers 4

Celebrating Big Juan's beer of choice (even though he brought Miller Lite) with me were Amar, Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, Claudia, Cory, Gonzo, Jerry, Josh F., Lesley, Megan, Perry, Shelly, Steve O., and Wheels.

Burger Light BBQ version 3.0

Saturday, August 19, 2006

Brewers 6, Houston 4

Joining us for the third annual Burger Light BBQ were Big Juan, Golberg, Jim, Rob, Tyler and Wheels, plus a special appearance by Announcer Steve.

It was guys nght out at the third annual Burger Light BBQ. The tailgate followed the first annual WSUW vs. Cable 19 alumni softball game, won by Team Golberg.

Special Events

Everyone Gets Head '04

Saturday, July 10, 2004

Brewers 5, Cincinnati 0

Enjoying the festivities on Gorman Thomas bobblehead night were Aaron B., Andy, Andy P., Araby*, Brian, Cathy, Chris, Gabe, Golberg, Gonzo, Greg, Michael, Nicole, Perry, Steve O., Steve P., Steve S., Tabytha, Tony, Tyler, and Wheels.

The group is nearly all here. Going left to right, starting in row one we have Tyler and Gabe. Row two is Gonzo, Chris, Cathy, Steve O. (already passing out!), Aaron, Araby, Perry, Steve P., and Aaron B. On the bridge are Michael, Andy, Nicole (a.k.a. Lucky), Golberg, Steve S., and Greg.

Shocking that a Jagerbomb is being done at a 2004 tailgate party. This time around we have Steve O. (before he puked), Nicole (she reportedly did not puke), Aaron (I didn't blow chunks), Cathy (yeah, chunks were flowing later on in the evening), and Tyler (he threw up all over himself, and a guy sitting in front of him).

Good times at the ballpark. Perry's rocking the MGD, I got the MGD Light, Gabe was slamming Miller Lite, and Tyler, well, he really didn't need any more.

F*ck the Yankee$

Tuesday, June 7, 2005

Brewers 2, NY Yankees 1

Coming to the ballpark in support of David in their battle with Goliath were Benny, Dave, Gabe, Gavin, Golberg, Greg, Jenni, Mike, Nicole, Perry, Steve, Steve O., Telli, and Wheels. Also making special guest appearances inside the stadium were Godersky, Lori, and "Meat".

Due to rain and the fact that we forgot to do it by the Bridge, this is what passes for the group photo. Going left to right we see our lone supporter of Goliath, Wheels, Perry with the bleach job, Golberg with arms around everyone it seems, Telli, with Steve's head towering over Telli's head, Lucky, and Jenni.

The Return of the Rock

Sunday, July 17, 2005

Brewers 5, Washington 3

Celebrating the Rock's homecoming with me were Andy, Big Juan, Cathy, Chris, Craig, "Godsmack", Golberg, Gonzo, Jess, Josh F., Kristy, Lesley, Lori, Megan, Perry, Pete, Sam, Shelley, Tyler and Wheels. Several others names will be added when I get them.

There is a lot going on in this picture, and I am not even going to try and say who is pictured and where. So, I shall just point a few things out for your viewing enjoyment. On the far right you can see Big Juan cheerfully holding his 40 ounce bottle of PBR nice and high. I know you are wondering about the older gentleman in the yellow shirt by Wheels, and I have no idea who he is or how he got in the picture, he wasn't with our group. You can see Perry grew his hair out and bleached it, prompting Golberg to call him Turnbow, in honor of the Brewers closer. And standing in front of me is Tyler, who after five years finally got to stand in front of the railing on the newly renamed Golberg/Stauffer Bridge.

Now this is classic Pete right here. About 30 beers into his morning/afternoon, the Rock decided to cover his face in nacho cheese and get a picture taken with Jess. Obviously he was thinking, I don't know what the hell he was thinking. It's just impressive he didn't pass out.

The Battle for Miller Park I

Saturday, July 8, 2006

Chicago 3, Brewers 1

Our first boarder battle game saw a turnout, with fans supporting both teams. Among the nearly two dozen on hand were Andrea, Benny, Cathy, Chris, Dineen, Jason, Jason (Lisa's friend), Josh F., Lesley, Lisa, Mary, Perry, Steve, Steve O., Timmy, and Wheels.
