This coming Saturday, the folks from West Point head south to invade Wallace Wade and, the question is: Which Duke team shows up? I know we all hope it's the team that defeated Notre Dame.

Regardless of which team shows, we should all turn-out to give the team as much support as possible and, who knows, we might even have a decent spread of food upon which to feast!

As of today (Friday) the weather looks mostly uncertain. From WRAL.com

Cloudy with bands of rain likely, especially south and east of the Triangle, as Hurricane Matthew appears at this time to remain a little southeast of the North Carolina coast. It will be breezy and mild with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. What we see here in Central North Carolina will be dictated by the storm track, which has shifted significantly to the southeast but remains subject to further changes.

So, let's take a look at the menu!

TBCC- (+3)
Lunch- ABTs, Pimento-cheese w/crackers and veggies, Costcos, Ribs, Pulled-pork sandwiches;
Sides- Baked Beans, Cole Slaw;
Desserts- Chocolate-chip cookies, Brown Sugar Cookies, Reese's Peanut-Butter Cheesecake
Beverages- Iced Tea, Beers, SBMs

Bob (+3)- mad amounts of cash (unconfirmed).
CheerMom (+1)- soggy-cash and a (hopefully not) soggy salad.
BostonDevil (+1)- Two eight-balls of uncut smack (unconfirmed).
DPSLaw (+1)- an AmEx Platinum card in TBCC's name.
O+N (+11ish)- thick rollS of $20s.
AW- AW stuff.
DDeac (+3) PORN casserole and/or pudding (kinda creepy).

Total Count = 24 somewhat confirmed

If any of you ever come to Boston - the first round of beers is on me! (Maybe the second round too.)

BD, no apology necessary, although you did miss a great time! I was in Boston last May for a few days. Maybe next time!

A great time was had by all in attendance! Tim and Chris did an INCREDIBLE job in getting the tent set up and cooking super delicious ribs and "Cue! I appreciate BJ's and Daryl's efforts to get to the tent. Joy and David John joined us too.

My special thanks to my brothers at Phi Kappa Psi who came to the game - Wally (and Maria) Hurst, Ken (and Maureen) Miles, Floyd Rowley (all the way from Reno, NV!) and Mark Peacock. Pictures to be posted soon!

Special thanks to CathyCA who offered us her seats under cover! We sat there, as did 90% of all in attendance. Next year I'll have to get covered seats. Well worth the extra few dollars!

And a word or five about the only negative of our experience today - the Parking Nazi's. Schmucks that they are, with all of a dozen cars in the Card Gym lot, they wouldn't let those with drop off passes stay parked in the lot. They wouldn't even let Joy in to drop off without a pass. Then, when David John did get in with a pass, the asshole cop type person threatened to tow his car. I may have had a few choice words with him before he departed. I fully expected to see him roll back in in his golf cart, or more likely a paddy-wagon, to haul my wet ass of to jail. He did not come back. Guess I showed him! Ha! Not wanting to get towed either, I moved my car down to the Chem lot just before game time. Got incredibly wet walking back. And the walk after the game, well, during the 4th quarter, we finally left after 3, the wind was BRUTAL! Sitting under cover, we saw the wind and rain, but really had no idea how brutal the conditions were just being out in it, much less playing in it!

I do plan to call Kevin White on Monday and let him know the above. I will use the term "Parking Nazi's", but may leave the four letter adjectives out of my complaint. I will tell him that the absurd strictness under these adverse conditions when almost NO ONE was at the game, cost them at least one Iron Duke member and season ticket holder. They need to use common sense, not stick to the letter of the rules when conditions dictate otherwise.
