I'm actually probably moving to Durham sometime this month, which would only put me about 2 hours or so from Richmond, so I'd be down.
Went to the Kicker's website. Murphy just re-signed. His stats for last year Games Played - 1 Games Started -1 Goals Against -2 Goals Against Average - 2.00 Record Saves - 7 Shots Faced - 12 Shutouts - 0 God I hope they put him in again this year. So that I can be as supportive of his efforts as I was last year.
I also posted this in the Barra thread. I gave the Kickers a call and they are offering group ticket price of $10 through this Friday. After that I can get us group rate of $12. Need about 20 folks to commit. I am willing to front the money (don't tell Page ) but would like to see a show of hands on who is definitely coming down, so I know how many to buy. Post in this thread so I know who wants tickets: Me Page Pedro Liz Willis Brian (although he may do Banditos with the Eagles) A bunch of other crazies in this thread say they are coming down but they need to give me final confirmation and swear on a Moreno jersey they won't stick me for the $10 if they change their plans.
Yeah, I'm doing a different ticket thing (and distributing the SE tix too). I'm actually getting my ticket through CVSA for the tent but will be sitting with everyone for most of the game.
I have a few friends that might be coming along with me...I'll check with them as soon as I can to get commitments. Pedro - how about sending around the email list? I know Ross was possibly interested in going, but I only run into him every so often. I believe Julie and Kelly will be coming too, and I'll talk to them.
