I'll check my schedule but I plan on making this one so I can raise a glass to HC one more time.

Jeff, It would be my pleasure to share the moment with you.

[UK Chic]

One year, I am going to make this event!!

I am working Inventory this weekend - only time of the year to get OT. In other words, $$ for Tampa.

Have a great time everyone!!

[KY Blue in Carolina]

10 days away...

Long range weather forecast looks great.

Put your big boy pants on - and come on to the river.

What you remember you will value for life. What you don't remember.... who cares?

[Terry L. Wildcat]

I'm going through my own boot camp to get ready...let's rock.

Will you be able to get the MSU game???

[KY Blue in Carolina]

Doesn't look like it.... may get added to LF or ESPN GP packages though

[Terry L. Wildcat]

Can I wear my Obama shirt at The Ball?...I going to anyway :icon_mrgreen:

Sure.... but let Ryan know you won't be using that return airline ticket. There are some deep holes in the river.

You have to catch me first. :eek:

[KY Blue in Carolina]

Won't be me... I got better things to do. It's the rest of my knuckle-dragging southern country rednecks you'd better look out for. :icon_twisted::eek:;):tongue3:

[matt colvin]

Wish I could be there. I do know one thing though, let us know when you all toast to HC. We'll join you here in Kentucky :thumbup:.

I too have better things to do: Wear Wildcat Blue in baby blue country...as Al Bundy would say: LETS ROCK :eek:

[Rockober]

I went to high school in Greensboro, NC and loved it down there. I just hated all that baby blue but I guess everything has a fault or two.

Halloween could be interesting with this crew.:icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:

[Terry L. Wildcat]

If we can make it to the airport we will be fine...Ryan is at a concert and planning on staying up until I pick him up at 4:30AM:eek::eek::eek:

If I were religious I would pray for no screaming kids on this flight ;)

[CATHYnKY]

You all have a great time. Will be there is spirit and spirits :icon_mrgreen:

[ukblue22]

I think I feel the need... the need for a fall ball. The need for too much food and too many friends to count.

I feel the need for The Fall Ball.

[KY Blue in Carolina]

TLW and ColoradoWildcat are in the house!

And some Jefferson's is leaving the house!

Glad they made it safely. Have a good time. Will be thinking about you guys tomorrow night.

Those two train in high altitude. I hope you laid in a good supply. :icon_mrgreen:

[KY Blue in Carolina]

You should be on the road by now.... hurry up every chance you get!

The brisket(s) has been on for 25 hours; the pig since 4:30 a.m....... and two bushels of the finest select oysters I've seen in a while!

...and yes, the stock is fine... little light on Jefferson's now but have RR 1792, Four Roses SB (thaks Cathy), GTS, T Handy Rye..... Get here by 1:30 and you should have plenty (the rocky mountain boys are still sleeping - in spite of the tunes rockin the house).

[KY Blue in Carolina]

OOOooooof...

Survived another one.... next year we need some more blue of the right shade....

WCN was represented by Terry L. Wildcat, ColoradoWildcat, NC Cat, UKBlue22, New Blue in Carolina (Lisa) and yours truly. -- along with the presence of our great friend David Hall (HC). A memorial toast occurred and I know he was with us.

Great weather, great crowd, the aftermath is in full swing right now.

Y'all carry on! - we are!

[matt colvin]

:icon_mrgreen: :thumbup: Glad to hear you all had a great time! Rehydrate :icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:!

[CATHYnKY]

I am so envious. If we start planning now, maybe me and UK Chic will make it next November.

[ukblue22]

I made record time getting home from this years Fall Ball. I made it in under 4 hours.

The company was great and the food outstanding. Thank God I survived TLW, NC Cat, Colorado Cat, and of course our hosts Tom and Lisa. What a great and varied group of people those two assembled.

Thank you Tom and Lisa for being great hosts.

Jeff, It was great to see NC Cat and you and celebrate a Wildcat victory. Thanks Tom and Lisa for a wonderful time!!!

I need to go to detox :eek:

[ColoradoWildcat]

We finally made it home after some extra delay in PA on the way. As you can imagine, we had a great time and now I need a few 3 weeks to recover before our Vegas adventure.

Thanks again Tom and Lisa. You guys are the best and I cannot wait to see you again.

[NC Cat]

Thanks for a great time Tom and Lisa! Great to see all the UK faithful again and meet Jeff for the first time. Much fun was had by all!

Sorry I had to bug out early on Sunday morning but some of us have actual adult responsibilities to tend to. :icon_frown:

And Terry and Ryan, you owe me for letting you sleep in. Tom wanted me to get "the stick" and roust your lazy backsides. :icon_mrgreen:

You mean there was someone sober enough to operate a camera?

[NC Cat]

I guarantee that any pictures that may have been taken were purely accidental. :eek:

[Terry L. Wildcat]

Tom is in Dallas and when he returns I bet we get some pictures :eek: but be careful what you ask for.

[ukblue22]

I don't know about the rest of those drunks at the party but I was sober as a judge all night long. :icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes:

All I had was a little anti-freeze.

(At least until photographic evidence proves otherwise.)

[KY Blue in Carolina]

I'm still in Dallas - flying home tomorrow.

Pictures will be up sometime this weekend...

I had three people taking pictures.... so - yes Scott.... there were pictures taken, even when a few folks were incapacitated.

:beer::icon_twisted::thumbup:

[Terry L. Wildcat]

So where are The Fall Ball pictures :shrug1:
