First Texanmark is without question the most valuable organizer ever, these tailgates don't happen without him, thanks buddy, it was great fun once again. Spent some time with Orangello for the first time and we all had a ball particularly in taking over Dukes stadium. You da man Kevin. If anyone complains about Cuse fans again I'll know we overall represent well both home and away as it was a pathetic Duke crowd where we probably had half the crowd that was there.
Enough has been said about the game but it was pretty evident McKinley Williams is a "difference maker" type player, The level of energy displayed was noticeably different and improved, hopefully something they can re-create the next two weeks.
Having driven from Charlotte to Durham to Ashville and then back to Charlotte I was able to get a good impression of the highway system in the state. To my shock I saw more abandoned cars on the highway and more trash and debris spread throughout that I've ever seen ever in upstate New York. Very surprising, in fact I saw more abandoned cars then I did in the Bronx in the 70s and 80s. Completely unexpected. Driving through their bible belts was a little uncomfortable. On the other hand Western NC is absolutely gorgeous with the Asheville area particularly beautiful reminding me of a hybrid combination of the Catskill Mountains and Ithaca, especially beautiful with a change in fall leaves.
Supermarket wise Wegmans has nothing over Ingles, the chik fil a chicken sandwiches are as good as advertised, and there is a paradoxical attraction to those waffle houses creating a whole new appreciation for grits. Long winded way of saying this was a really fun road trip and I recommend everybody trying to attend one sometime.
