The longest thread ever

[YmoBeThere]

I met Bud!

Did Budwom meet you?

[YmoBeThere]

Should have known better than to go into the game thread.

[YmoBeThere]

Just in time for a few days of nice weather!

Unfortunately, I will miss it. Just in for a couple days to check on my dad. Already on a plane home. 34 hours total on the ground in PHX.

I guess.

That was a great game. It has everything. Defense kept us in the first half.

When we took the lead I felt optimistic. But man. What a way to lose.

Hope Leonard isn't done for the season.

We acquitted ourselves nicely. We deserved our ranking and Gameday. I hope we can win several more games this season and make this something special.

Did Budwom meet you?

I sure did! Very nice of him to wander over especially since the place was packed. A fine man this Clemmonsdevil

[budwom]

I need some sleep. Between flights to football and a puppy and I’m whupped

[bundabergdevil]

How was the game day experience?

[ClemmonsDevil]

It was a blast! Great to see the stadium packed. Saw Trajan Langdon, Carawell, my old friend Kevin Strickland and Budwom! Got to see iconic college football program Notre Dame pushed to the absolute brink. Duke looked like an honest to goodness top 25 college football team. I got to eat peanuts and drink a beer at Wallace Wade. I screamed at a Notre Dame fan to shut up (I attended with another ND fan, but this other guy who I didn't know was being obnoxious). Got to meet my college buddies for dinner and a couple of drinks before the game. Just an awesome experience to get to experience here. I have been to big time college football games in Tuscaloosa and Knoxville. It was cool to do it here.

[YmoBeThere]

Geez, where did the day go?

[YmoBeThere]

As the saying goes, "Often wrong, but never in doubt."

[YmoBeThere]

If anyone is still sleeping, get up!

[bundabergdevil]

I couldn’t take a picture but I saw a guy driving through the Lowe’s parking lot with a parrot on his window and poop on the side of the car underneath where the parrot’s tail feathers were hanging over the side.

great day, but man, getting up at 3:30 to catch my flight, sprints involved in making connections both days, 3 hours sleep after the game make for a weary budwom, end of self pity.

speaking of sprints, was that presumably a Duke woman track star who raced a kid at halftime giving him a 15 yard lead? She had a motor! The lad obviously did not heed Satchel Paige's advice, which probably hasn't been mentioned in 30 years, but you shouldn't look back, someone might be gaining on you...rookie mistake!

That girl could scoot. I was thinking about the age at which she would have beaten me in a foot race. I don't think she would have beaten me when I was 40 but she definitely beats me today. I had 4.5 to 4.6 speed in my younger days. I would be interested to know how much I have slowed down now. But I'm only intellectually curious and not pulling a hamstring because I'm stupid enough to test it out curious.

She may have slowed down at the end to make sure he didn't look too bad. But yeah, love the Satchel Paige reference. He lost valuable time watching her fly.

[budwom]

^ she did ease up on him for sure.,..but when he looked back at the beginning, he stumbled, not a heady play by him...

I would assume so since they brought the whole women's track team down shortly before that to recognize their ACC championship.
They came down the aisle in section 18 where I was sitting. It was quite a parade of young, fit, good looking women. I was wondering who they were and why they were going down there.
BTW - Met a lot of people Saturday also, but I'm terrible with names so I'm not sure I could give you a rundown.

Ugh! I would have come by to meet you!

If you are actually in Clemmons, I will probably be there again in December. I usually meet up with some Duke folks at a local brewery when I am there.
