I punted my ‘cotti from the Bronx to Nashville last Thursday! I moved sight unseen (the only other time I had been to Tennessee was for Rascati and the boys of ‘04). I don’t know many people here, so it would be great to meet some fellow Dukes and watch some games. My only friend here was a Captain on the NDSU team a few years back, so I could use some backup!

Be sure to check out Andrew Leahey & the Homestead. My family and Andrew's go way back in our Richmond, VA ties, and his uncle (I think his uncle) is a brother in Theta Chi that graduated around '90 I think. Andrew has an amazing story as a survivor of a brain tumor, and has been a mainstay in Nashville and touring around the US now for quite some time. I believe that there are a couple folks on this board that know him as well from his Tucker HS years in the mid/late 1990s.

Speaking of Theta Chi, I hear another one of our brothers has quite the home there in Nashville - country music star Phil Vassar. He regularly supports the Dukes and has come back to Harrisonburg on many occasions.

That's all I got - Enjoy the dramatic change of scenery!!

There is a Nashville Alumni Chapter that is pretty active. Check out their social media or give them a shout - nashvilledukes@gmail.com.

All I know about Nashville is two awesome breweries, if that kind of thing floats your boat. Southern Grist and Bearded Iris.
Haven't been able to visit them, yet, but they're worth a trip that I'll make some day.
