Basketball Homecoming 2011


I’m very happy that all of you have decided to join us for the Sixth 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 will also be our first chance to meet Amelia because Brendan and Dawn will be in town!

Oh, and there is the small matter of a game as well. The Boilers will be taking on their second straight top ten opponent this time in the form of the Suckeyes of tO$U. After a solid win on Wednesday against Bucky I expect to see Purdue gain revenge for another of their road losses on Sunday!

Unfortunately we were not able to secure a group of tickets for the game, so our crowd will be a little smaller this year. But hey, it’s not like that will stop us from having a great time! Since the game is on Sunday we’ll do our partying on Saturday and be ready to watch the Boilers by that 1:00 tip. The group without tickets for the game will likely head to Harry’s to catch the game.

I know this sounds very “high school” but since my parents are going to be out of town I figured we could start Saturday night’s festivities with dinner and drinks at The Lodge. (As if any of us would be worried about getting drunk even if my parents were around right?) We’ll head over the river after dinner to show the kids “how it’s done.”

4:00 p.m. SCTC Lodge 1814 open for business

8:30 p.m. Head for West Lafayette

As I stated in my recent text I’ll be providing the mains if you guys will bring the side dishes. You can have access to the kitchen if you need to prep at the house.

I will be planning to be at the house earlier, by 11:00 a.m. or so, to work on the basement. I’m going to be trying to put up some drywall so if anyone is interested in helping that would be appreciated.
