1-Sept FIU @ Duke. 7PM KO. Menu & Attendance.
Posted: August 25th, 2012, 2:14 pm
Well it's finally drinking...er...football season! Our opponent Florida International comes to Durham with hopes of avenging their loss to the Devils in South Florida. Kick-off is at 7pm. So there's plenty-o-time for tailgatin'!
Most of you know the drill but, for those "noobs" joining us, let me 'splain. This thread is where you can inform others of your intentions to attend and with how many guests. You can also post here if you would like to contribute a dish (or dishes) to the gastronomic orgy which is the TBCC tailgate.
I also have another request- Only post items you're bringing to share, please. If you're just bringing beverages for you and your party then there's no need to post that in this thread.
Also, we love that last year more folks were leaving behind the "soulless food"* and choosing to donate to the TBCC. That will enable us to keep improving the fare we offer. But, we need to be sure we're bringing/preparing enough food for all whom attend. So, if it's your intention to just donate $, please make your intentions (and the number in your party) known as soon as possible. If you are bringing food that needs "grill time" (i.e. to be reheated/cooked), make that information known in your post. (*"Soulless food" is defined as stuff that folks grab from the local supermarket deli in an effort to "bring something".)
For this tailgate we’re gonna’ try to serve the main courses around 5pm. Of course, they'll be stuff to eat all day long- as you can see below, we'll have Brunch stuff, lunch stuff and dinner stuff!
Weather: No worries for now! Looking A-OK, Partly cloudy with a Hi of 31C/89F! And, of course, we have a lovely night game! WOOHOO!
We're gonna' keep it flexible for the first game with plenty of grub: Brunch stuff, appetizers, sandwich fixings, sides, and desserts. As always I'll keep updating this post with more weather and attendance information as we move through the week.

that I could not attend due to call responsibilities. Hopefully the family/friends that attended in my absence were hospitable and vocal.
