What a game tonight!!! Welcome to the big time, Mr. Evans! Unfortunately his first half didn't shine through to the second, but that's ok since the whole team played great. Actually, that's not true, because Kon had an off night offensively and we still got the job done. I was really impressed that...

Dear CB&Bs, I am very sorry that I couldn't attend our last gathering of the season. I started to feel non-well on Friday, and I didn't want to spread whatever to anybody. [I had negatively tested 2X for Covid.] But I am glad that my Dear Wife's Iced Lemon Cake arrived, and I hope that it was enjoye...

The last game I had hot apple cider on the menu and switched it to Margaritas since it was in the 80s. Won't have that problem this time! Sorry, Chris, but I don't see what the problem is. Margaritas can be served hot or cold. You're gonna hafta provide a recipe for a hot Margarita... My recipe: Ma...

Dear Chris,

As you know, I'm a vegan, although I make exceptions for High Holy Days, such as Tailgate.

So, I will be there with carnivorous intent.

Also, if there be no objection, and as I hear none, I will bring Dear Wife's Baked Lemon Cake.

Thank you as always!

Ted

Dear Chris, My words fail. My heart is feeling hurt for you. I loved talking with Marilyn! She was one of my tail gating enjoyments. I loved her smartness, kindness, centeredness and curiosity. And she clearly loved you and was proud of you. I wish you peace, and that you will cherish the best memor...

Lemon Pound Cake will be there, and I will accompany, to make sure it reaches its destinations.

CB&B, Your title for the festivities "Duke vs Sad Native Americans" is intriguing. Whence cometh the "Sad" qualifier? Sad because these Native Americans were seriously disappointed by the quality, including character, of the Europeans they met? Sad because they can't get out of the ACC? Sad because ...

Dear CB&B,

Alas, both My Dear Wife's Lemon Cake and I will not be able to join the festivities. The menu is tantalizing and the celebrants enticing.

Go Duke!

Dear Ozzie4Duke, You are an angel from heaven. Con tu permiso, I shall savor a bite or two of that Beatific Brisket without guilt. Or, with less guilt than my ontological need to sink my choppers into that danged Brisket. We are all on a journey, some on a less linear journey than others. See you to...

The brisket is done after 13 hours under the hood of the smoker.

I keep staring at that Brisket. I cannot not stare at it. As a vegan, if I took just two bites of it, would that make me a bad person?

Dear Fellow and Sister Dukies,

Hope is on the way!

Please be advised that I plan on bringing an alternate slate of electors who will determine the final score if the preliminary score emanating from the field is adjudged to be unfavorable.

So, no worries! Go Duke!

Dear CB&B,

Momentous occasion and marvelous menu!

I will be there, along with five peeps: a friend and his family.

For dessert land, I plan to bring dear wife's Iced Lemon Cake.

Thank you!

Ted aka hustleplays

Hello CB&B!

I will be there, Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise too much.

For dessert, I will bring my Dear Wife's Baked Iced Lemon Cake.

Thank you!

Weather and random gossip thread.

Caught this picture of our own CB&B from the ESPN telecast! Should be archived.

Dear CB&B,
With sadness, I report that I will not be able to tailgate this week. I have a medical appointment that interferes.
Thank you as always for curating these marvelous events.
Ted aka Hustleplays

I'll be there, and I hope that some Baked Iced Lemon Cake can provide some encouragement for our fans.

The fact that the loss really hurts is a testament to how far this program has come. I was so proud of our team tonight. A great game -- heartbreaking result, but so much heart went into going toe-to-toe with a top team. Terrific comeback from 10-0. I'm still a little grouchy about our guys not see...

Duke Football posted a pic of the Gameday location. Right after I set up tailgate, I'm walking over for some pics. DukeChapel.jpg My Dear Wife, of Baked Iced Lemon Cake fame, insisted that I raise a singularly shout out sign on Game Day. Any ideas? Any of you who submit winning entries will be duly...
