I'm thinking the grandson will enjoy #6 at halftime. I'm sure grandpa is going to enjoy it.

Is anybody else joining me in Cameron before the tailgate to watch basketball practice?

We talked about it, but since I have now passed my cold on to my other half, I think we are better served just coming for Brunchgate and the football game. :(( :9f:

WTH? No simulator for this game? Perhaps it was broken after last week's offensive bonanza for both teams. =))

There were definitely simulations, but the results ticked me off so much I didn't post them ;)

Duke was only won 40% of the simulations with the average score being Troy 29 - Duke 22.

I don't even like to see Duke lose in theory :p

Anyway, here they are for completions sake, straight from the memo-pad:

I had such a good time yesterday.

The food was simply de-luscious! Many thanks to our chefs.

My pics are up on FB.
