Someone usually starts this topic; above is Cider's post from last year. As for me, I will be going to Blacksburg to spend the weekend with my daughter and her husband - going with them to the VT game on Saturday.

Watching Maryland obliterate UVA and spending time with family that is in town. Also gonna watch the Skins go into Dallas and give the cowgirls an L.

Mrs. No and I are pregnant with our first. I've learned in recent months about a small tradition called the Reveal Party, whereby family and friends are invited over to experience the unveiling of the baby's gender.

On Saturday, we will were our own chapter of this tradition. The child is the frat grandchild on both sides, and both sides of the family will be present as the gender is revealed. Format: cutting into a cake made with either blue or pink inner icing.

Intentionally planned on an off weekend. I love my wife!

Drowning in my sorrows from the ODU loss. I'm from the Norfolk area and nearly every one of my relatives went to ODU. The smack talk hasn't ended.

Deer season opens here in NC. I will be hunting deer and dear as opportunities present themselves.

Watching my second love, the KY Wildcats get hammered by Al. at Commonwealth Stadium.

I'll be with my wife celebrating the wedding of another friend of mine (its nice to go to weddings where Im not responsible for the music). The groom proposed the Saturday before I proposed to my wife

Also JK, congratulations on your wife being pregnant! As any of the other posters who are parents can attest, its quite a process the whole way through, and holding that first child in your arms is an experience that can't be topped by any championship in my view.

Just remember what is the best part of babies.....

I have a feeling your Saturday is going to be better than your Sunday. The "R-words" will not escape with their dignity, much less a "W".

Here's a Big South football update as conference play begins this weekend - http://www.libertyflamesnation.com/big- ... ll-update/

Quiz Bowl tournament at VCU. At least this LU team should WIN a game in Richmond.

What time? Maybe I will answer this thread by watching LU kick some butt in Quiz Bowl.

VCU says 10:00, but these tournaments historically start late. We're bringing a varsity, JV, and novice team, and we'll be playing in Harris Hall against the big boys--UVA, UNC, Princeton, W&M, and Maryland.

One more really important question Cider. How much?

NO charge, SCAR, and you won't even have to wear your press pass to witness "the varsity sport of the mind."

G-Webb/Coastal on ESPN3!

I will be spending all day Saturday with my son at Scary Camp (Cub Scout thing).

There's a band competition at Williams Stadium on Saturday. About 20 high school bands will be there. It lasts just about all day.

Jim, the Lynchburg Classic is at City Stadium, and my wife and I will be there as well, though we won't be arriving for the 12:45 start. Being LU band alum, we enjoy marching bands, but 8 hours is a bit long For us, Railroad Festival in Appomattox in the morning and early afternoon, right around the corner from our house, and then to the Classic in time, probably, to catch LCA and the remainder of the performances, concluding with the Spirit of the Mountain around 8:45.

Garlic Festival in Amherst...though we'll leave earlier in the day before the drunks take over.

The garlic festival is great people watching ... you get all of these dudes who spent most of their time pounding Bud Light way out of their element drinking wine, and they have no idea how to handle the buzz.

Agreed, I go mostly for the people watching aspect. There was a guy who was so zonked that he asked for a pitcher of PBR at the tasting table I also love how people walk around with whole bottles of wine all to themselves!

It should be a great day

What exactly is there to do at the Garlic Festival? What is included in the admission? Food, wine, activities?

I know one thing. Not a lot of making out!

I will be hitting the Appomattox Train Festival. Where if you listen closely you will hear some one say 'If only Bobby Lee could have made this train on time....'
