Brunchgate Wrapup
Posted: November 27th, 2010, 9:51 pm
Many thanks to all who participated in Brunchgate 2010. Seven times this fall a great time was had by all, and certainly by me! We had 20 participating members, not all of whom were able to make it to all, or even most of the games and festivities, but we appreciate everyone's participation when you could! Hopefully next year everyone can have perfect attendance! It's better and more fun when you are there. The food, the fun, the fellowship was outstanding. The "chefmanship" exhibited time and time again by TNTDevil, CB&B, CowboyDevil and others was, in a word, delicious! Thanks for bringing your grills and other equipment, like generators and TVs, and ... Thanks to EVERYONE for bringing all the delicious foods, from salads to scrumptious deserts every week. Anyway, my diet starts tomorrow...
A word about next year. I spoke with Chris Kautsa and Jacob Powers before the game as they wandered by. They asked for some feedback from me about this year and I gave them 99% positive feedback, and told them we'd be back next year, and expected (hoped) to be in basically the same configuration next year with the same parking arrangements, including drop off passes, extra tents, etc., and they were in agreement (at least for now...). We will have seven home games again next year, with Stanford on the schedule as the marquee non-conference name, plus FSU and VT at home. I hope FSU brings their band, because they are a joy to listen to (they brought them the first year they were in the conference, and not since...). If anyone has suggestions they'd like to make to the group to improve our procedures, or they'd like for me to make to Duke to improve Blue Devil Alley in general, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.
Thanks to all those who dropped by and visited Brunchgate on Saturday and/or during the year. You are always welcome to do so. Acymetric, it was nice to finally meet you! Red, sorry I missed you on Saturday, and if you were there, I didn't know it. Please consider joining us full time next year. Watch for announcements in the late spring or early summer her on Crazietalk!
