Game 4: Homecoming

First a reminder that we are collecting for Almost Home animal shelter in Lafayette this month.  Please see this post to find a list of "in kind" donations.  http://stonecoldtailgating.blogspot.com/2018/09/charity-events-2018.html

We welcome in an ACC opponent this week for Homecoming.  When the #23 Eagles roll into West Lafayette it will be the first time that Purdue has ever faced them.  It is hard to know what to expect given that BC has only played one real opponent and Purdue has lost three games by a total of eight points.  I would like to think the Boilers give us a great Homecoming gift and get in the W column on Saturday!

As most of you know my current job has me travelling to Boston on a regular basis.  You all probably also know that I explore almost every place I travel to by trying their local food specialties and their beer.  On the food front we will have a good menu including Lobster Rolls, Cape Cod chips, and our own take on Corn Chowder in the form of a side salad.  I'm sure that you all have heard of a little company called Sam Adams, but I'm here to tell you that there is a wide array of spectacular beers in the New England region and Boston specifically.  While we won't have only New England beers, we will have some to sample.  (We will also have Hot Dogs for those of you that aren't keen on Lobster Rolls.)

We will be meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, but since it is homecoming weekend I've listed a schedule for the entire weekend.  I look forward to seeing everyone soon!
