On their way back?

The Seminoles played the last of their back-to-back away games at Duke. We made tailgate plans with the usual suspects and got to the stadium plenty early.

A few pictures from the festivities and game:
Jon, Donna, Frank, Jerry, Rick, Sarah, Matt and Leann
(Thanks, Jerry for hooking us up with the sweet parking spot!)

Pretty good tailgate for an away game!

The Clarke boys traveled from Charleston to cheer on the Noles.

Blue Devil Alley - A festive tailgate area for their boosters. (Boosters reserve/rent the space for the season and get signs with their group name!)

The local Seminole club hosted a huge tailgate for the Seminole faithful coming for the game.

Duke's stadium. While this picture was taken just 10 minutes before kickoff, a few more Blue Devils showed up. But as with past games, there are more FSU fans than Duke fans. (Now when it comes to Duke Basketball, it's a whole different ball game. Yes, pun in tended.)

The Golden Knights.

During the game we got several text messages from friends saying they saw us on TV!  Because we were on the road for a month, we weren't able to record it.  But luckily we got home just in time to catch a replay of the game (and snap a picture).  :o)

"The Golden Bear" Jack Nicklaus. His grandson, #35 Nick O'Leary plays for the Noles.

Frank, Ross and Phil.
(They were two rows down and a few seats over.
Not bad for getting tickets the night before.)

What a great feeling walking out of the stadium with a win for the Seminoles. And it sure made the drive back to the TeePee a whole lot nicer!
Perhaps the Seminoles are on their way back!
