And even though I prefer a New England style chowder over the Manhattan. That crab soup looks outstanding. Good Luck with it all and have fun....

What a game!! Thought they were done then came back and won in triple OT. Freezing cold at the game, almost left early to go get warm some where. Have some pics I'll upload later, right now sitting on the bus with a little more than 5 hours to go. I'm tired!!

Well yunz were surrounded by Pitt fans who enjoyed throwing it in our faces literally through the first three qtrs. things got awfully quiet with them after that. Pitt coach made some definite coaching errors late.

What a game! I watched it at an airport bar. Lots of fans for both teams were there hooting and hollering. Looking forward to your pics!
