College graduation party menu?

WA1215

My brother is graduating college this month, and will be having a grad party at my parent's house.  It will only be his friends attending, my sister, mom and myself will prepare the food for his party.  My Dad wants to get a 1/2 keg.  

The party will be held in the basement, and most will stay the night.  My brother says it will kind of be a last hurrah to the college life.  They will play cards, beer pong, etc.  It will start at 8 pm and there will be about 15 people coming.

So, for the menu.  Here's what we discussed possibly having:  Wings in the crockpot, pigs in a blanket, veggies and dip, cheeseball, chips/pretzels, beer cheese dip

Any other suggestions?

Potato skins, jalapeno poppers, salsa, guacamole, anything hearty and that has protein would be best considering there's going to be copious amounts of drinking (I would think, anyway).

anything that will soak up the booze

maybe some stromboli or pizzas (ordered or made on mini bagels or english muffins)

meatball sandwiches and/or ziti

Last ha-rah to college.... ramen noodles? Sorry, couldn't help it.

Better Ideas:

mozzarella sticks / marinara 

chips and salsa

quesadillas

meatballs

 diy waffle bar

TarHeels&Rebels

Everyone has great suggestions, so I'll just say keep the number for the pizza delivery down in the basement for cravings around 1 am

meat balls:)

and something with lots of bread to soak up the beer...pizza?....or garlic bread?

Pampered Chef has a recipe for making sliders in large quantity. 
Or a crockpot shredded meat type of thing to make sandwiches.  It would stay warm all night!

I think the veggies and dip would be a waste for a bunch of drinking guys. And the are more expensive this time of year. I think the more meat the better.
