Well, well, well, look who's back on the schedule! And coming into Wallace Wade at that! This should be a real treat. A surging, healthy Duke hosting a broken, beaten State. I'm sure, just like a wounded animal, they'll be dangerous but, this Duke team is different and, I no longer fear any of the remaining teams on our schedule.

So, with the Pack coming to Our House and, with the luxury of a 16:00 KO, we've decided that our tailgate should representative the finest of NCSU traditions (No, Chris! Not the cursing at the visiting teams' fans!)- We're gonna roast a whole pig! We will, of course, have all the old stand-bys along with a few new entries- details below.

Weather is looking righteous with mostly clear skies and a high of 18 (64F). Should be fantastic day for defeating the Wolfpack! Speaking of which, I'm not sure how the Pack Fans will deal this game but, you'd be well-advised to plan for heavy traffic.

Damn, now I'm hungry. Wish I could be there.

Will this be in conjunction with the Omegas or just our tent?

This is just ours. 50lb pig. That being said, we'll probably give them a shout and see what they are up to before game day.

Bob Green +3. I will be accompanied by daughter Janice, grandson Zeke and nephew Mark. Roast pig sounds wonderful and Tim's beans go great with everything. We will donate $$ to the cookie jar.

Me and 3 James Kenan football players. Kyle is checking to see if he can come.

I'll bring money.

It'll be myself, TigerDevil, a Duke fan, and a state fan, aka "Chipslate (+3)". I don't expect the state fan to eat since like every other year he still has leftover lofty expectations from the beginning of the season to snack on!

In all seriousness we'll all be contributing $$$ and I'll also be bringing a red velvet birthday pimp-cake to share for TigerDevil's 5th consecutive 29th birthday!

Ozzie +1. We'll bring some fresh Costco's and homemade (store-bought mix) brownies.

DukePA +2 or 4, mimosa fixins!!

Allen Murray and I will both be there bright and early. Most likely bringing some sort of Side dish from Costco.

GO DUKE!!

wolfpackdevil and I will be having along talk. We will be bringing something, but it won't be a "side dish from Costco" - whatever we bring will be home made and worthy of this auspicious occasion.

And here's a pirate face for no discernible reason.

Great! I look forward to chatting with you and your dad.

CathyCA + 6

I'll have Mom, Jon, my friends Claudia (Class of '79) and John (Class of '80), Claudia's mom Louise, and Claudia and John's son Nate (who goes to NCSU).

Claudia and I have been friends since we moved to Wilmy in 1975.

We will bring $$ for Mom to stuff in Tim's, um, pig. Claudia and John are bringing $$ to stuff in the cookie jar.

Nothing like the edjumacation of the young'uns.

Devildeacs-party of 4

Mrs. dd will ponder overnight and I'll post tomorrow what our contribution will be. I'll bring a couple bombers. Anyone surprised with that ?

Two law grads. With dead Presidents.

I must give credit where credit is due.

Sam was the driving force behind getting me to my first Duke football game (when he was only 10 or 11), was the one who convinced us to buy season tickets, is a more loyal fan, goes to more tailgates, knows more about the game, insists we arrive early, insists we stay for the whole game irrespective of score, has better hair, and is better looking. There are few tings I can rag him about so I have to take advantage of it when I can!




So here is a dog drinking a cup of coffee, for no discernible reason.

Dpslaw + 3 or 4. In addition to Tom, my friend, Jack, and his wife, Lynn, will be joining us. Their son, Joseph, may come along as well. Lynn is a State alum, so be nice to her.

I'll bring hot dog buns--both footlong and regular--and Lynn is bringing a side dish of some sort. We'll also kick in bucks to the kitty (piggy?). I'm not yet sure what sort of beer we'll bring, but I'm thinking maybe Foothills Sexual Chocolate and/or Anchor Christmas.

Looking forward to the game Saturday. 4pm is about the best kickoff time slot, and how cool is it for Duke to be favored vs. State for a change?? I'm feeling quite giddy in this 6 and 2 atmosphere, so reel me in if need be!
Oh, the details: Debbie and Art attending the tailgate, and we will bring Otis Spunkmeyer (sp?) soft pretzels. Go Devils!
