The waiting begins! Bobby, Dave, Sean, and I showed up at Gate E around 10pm last night and set up camp. We got the tent up in about 10 minutes without a problem, as opposed to the usual hour long debacle that usually ends with us calling Jeff - an alum and tent-construction extraordinaire who now lives in Colorado - for help.
Sean and I slept out and it was actually warmer than last year's nights for the Villanova game. We spent about 2 and a half hours watching SU Physical Plant and another construction company demolish and move snow drifts. Yeah, it sounds boring, but it's not like we could goto sleep with the blaring sirens of their trucks going in reverse.
Anyway, here is the current state of The List (if you're not familiar with our line up processes, a later post will explain this, so don't fear):
Group 1 - Menotti + Dave, Sean, Bobby, Dennis (5)
That's it for now. Check back later for more updates. Also - do you have an idea of an interview you'd like to see up here? Let us know. We're already pursuing some Dome staff, but if there are others who are important to the student fan experience, we'd like to talk to them, too.
Peace,
Menotti

Hey Ode,
I would like to see interviews from the top 10, or so, groups in line. I have heard great stories of the trials and tribulations of some and think a lot of people would be interested in hearing what these dedicated fans go through to get these coveted seats. For instance I heard last year there was a group that had a real "low budget" tent covered with blankets from Salvation Army to cover the holes. I think it also had some cartoon characters on it if I remember correctly.
Hey, who is the anonymous poster talking about The Tunt?
I never heard it called "The Tunt". I'm sure there is an interesting story behind that. My identity will remain anonymous to protect the integrity of the blog.
Alright, anonymous. We'll probably have interviews similar to that later in the week.
