Basketball Homecoming 2010



I’m very happy that all of you have decided to join us for the Fifth Annual Purdue Basketball Homecoming, brought to you by The Stone Cold Tailgating Club. This is a great chance for us to get together and see each other after the long layoff after the end of football. This weekend’s game should be a great one against the visiting Illini. The game will have implications on the Big Ten title race and pits the most prominent members of the Gene Keady “coaching tree.” Come prepared to cheer our Boilers on to victory!


Saturday February 20, 2010
12:30 p.m. Meet at Jakes for Lunch and “Tailgating”
3:15 p.m. Depart for Game
4:00 p.m. Tip Off
6:30 p.m. Reservations at Nine Irish Brothers

As most of you know we have multiple lodging options for the weekend. In addition to the “Fall House” my parents have purchased their retirement property in Lafayette as well. Yes, I did say retirement property, my parents are retiring in a few years to the one place that they know I’ll visit them 15 times per year.

From this point forward I will not be arranging lodging for everyone, I would like for each of you to set up lodging individually by e-mailing either Dawn West or Jim and Sue Franklin. If you need their e-mail address please let me know and I will forward it to you.

If you’re interested in being a Sober Driver please let me know! We’re going to go to Jakes for pregame tailgating this year so that our underage fans can come along.

After the game we have an area reserved for us at Nine Irish Brothers down in the Levee area. I figured that we could have a few pints and some dinner after the game. What happens after dinner is up in the air!

No official plans have been set, but if we feel like breakfast before heading out we can make those arrangements on Saturday.

Lodging Information
As established during the fall, it is asked that you place $10 per person in the black ice bucket at the house. This helps to cover the cost of utilities, snacks, and upkeep. If you are staying two nights it is $15 per person.

Tickets
Our seats are in Section 102 rows 22 and 24. (God help the people in row 23.) I will distribute the tickets prior to the game. I do have the tickets in a PDF file, so if you would like to have them e-mailed to me please let me know and I will get them out to you this week.
