Wait, what HOPpened to the beer you promised us?

Two attendees will be devildeacs, Joy and Daryl, and we hope to arrive by 4 PM as we'll be driving down from NJ that morning/afternoon. We'll bring legal tender but won't have time to bake/prepare anything to contribute but will promise something for the 10/1 UVa game.

OzNina. TBD.

Oh, man, this sounds so good.

But the Lawgrads will be in Rome.

Enjoy. And beat A&T.

Nina will make a Capresi salad (tomatoes and mozzarella cheese), a fitting side dish for an Italian menu.

The Deans (both of us) will be in attendance.

Kathleen will be out of town, and I don’t know about t Tom yet, but I will be there!

Excellent. We're all hoping Tom is able to join you, at least he's a maybe.

So far just cheermom although will know about a second person by Wednesday night. Will bring the usual salad.
Chris, I may be able to come ealry to help with set up. All depends on the time of my student meetings on Saturday.

Does anyone have extra tickets for the game? I know someone who is looking to buy two tickets.

Art O'Connor +2.1, the .1 being his 6 month old granddaughter Emmy (accompanied by her parents and grandfather Art). They're putting money in the jar.

I’m actually going to take off work and attend one game this year. Just one person. $$ and cookies and beers to share.

Party of one. Money for the jar. A few beverages. I’ll be traveling light on Saturday. Hope to be back up to speed by October. AW.

I don't have tickets, but lots are available on vividseats.com. If your party wants to avoid the service charge, there will most likely be more than the usual number of tickets for sale on game day for face value (maybe less). Technically, this is a sellout, but only because it is Employee Appreciation Day, so Duke has given away about 10,000 tickets (plus or minus). Many of those tickets will wind up in the informal resale market (ticket hawkers patrolling the grounds). That's just the nature of these promotions...

Thanks. I gave them one ticket and they were able to get a second. I hope people who got tickets for free and cannot use them are giving them away and not selling what they did not purchase.

Update: Cheermom and four guests who will all feed the jar.

Since we have an Italian menu teed up and in recognition of this being international Negroni Week (no fooling) I am planning to supply the drink table with the necessary spirits to whip up some classic negronis. See you all soon!

Thanks Chris for another great tailgate. Food was fantastic as well as the camaraderie.
