HOTFAA gathers once again in Palo Alto this year for the 108th Big Game, Saturday, November 19,
2005 (click
here for a pre game analysis).
The tailgate party will be at the usual spot. Look for Pepe's "T-Bear" at the corner of Arboretum and Palm, 1.5 blocks south of the mall, east side of the road. (Remember two years ago?)
Here is a map.
Here is another map (if all goes well, we'll be little closer to the corner than the blue dot indicates).
Don't forget, it's a late start this year (4:00 pm), so there will plenty of time for ribs, vodka, and Singer stories before the game.
The weather is looking fantastic! Sunny, clear, in the low to mid 70's (although a little chilly at night).
