Folks,

I know a lot of ppl are planning on heading to RDU to greet the team when they get in around 7:30pm-ish. Brass Monkey suggested getting a bunch of Krispy Kreme donuts to take out there, so Zach Adams (the Senate President) and I are putting together a "Krispy Kreme Convoy" to roll out of Witherspoon Student Center at ~6:50pm and heading to RDU's General Aviation Terminal.

For those of you who don't know where it is, the terminal is near the observation deck (between the runways) -- go down Glenwood Avenue / US 70 towards Durham, turn left at whatever street that is just before I-540 (I think it's Aviation Parkway / Westgate Road) and turn left at the RDU sign. Then you'll turn left right after the observation deck and see the terminal straight ahead.

If anyone wants to help us, feel free to meet us at Witherspoon Student Center starting around 6:30pm or so.

Also, everyone go to Krispy Kreme and tell them you love their donuts. One of their managers is working on getting us 30 dozen to pass out for free. These people rock.

I think we can spare a donut or two. But know that you will be heavily pressured to join us

I wish I was in Raleigh to welcome the team back. I did everything I could to get on God's good graces, and keep the luck going. I kept wearing my white NC STATE BASKETBALL shirt that I got for free at a game a few years ago. I wore my green St. Patrick's Day underwear to get the luck of the Irish on our side. I prayed. I tried to stay realistic, instead of getting my hopes up too much. It just wasn't meant to be I guess. Oh well there's always next year, which should be very exciting considering how few we're losing and how much we're getting.

Updated ETA at Raleigh-Durham is ~8:20pm apparently. So we'll be leaving Witherspoon closer to 7:15pm-7:20pm

Two flights coming outta Tampa, ones gotta be us and the other the tarholes... wonder which is which... but it doesn't really matter, ETA of ~8:20 for both...

Is there anywhere to park near the WB? Carmichael or Reynolds the best bet?

seriously though, I think dail center would be better and they wont be there until probably 8:45ish it looks like now
