I'll be at USC for Kickoff; 2815 is watching it in the big lecture hall in the engineering building (and invited over 1618). Donn Griffith is going to Clemson (site of the FIRST-sanctioned remote kickoff, and thus our collective kits of parts) to pick up both teams' kits; figuring for the distance, the kit will arrive around 3:00. In the interim, I'll be eating lunch (maybe run up--and I do mean up--Main Street to Moe's unless food magically appears at Swearingen), reading the manual incessantly, dreaming up what a few teams would stereotypically do, calling Stephen Kowski (who will be in Manchester) for measurements and a feel for things on the field, and hopefully otherwise being productive.
