What NDSU fans are making that trip?

UNI is in Indiana that day, Macomb is only 2.5 hours from my house, and I might be looking for something to do.

Are you becoming a closet Bison fan clenz? There's not much room left on the bandwagon ;)

I'm not going and my guess is there will probably only be a few hundred who do go but nothing more than that just because Macomb is a trek from Fargo and I wouldn't consider it a very big game at this point. This thread on Bisonville may pick up with details on who's all going as we get into next week and more people make plans: http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?33913-Western-Illinois

I am very much thinking about it. Any trip I can make on a single tank of gas is a possibility.

I'm home alone that day and that's the closest game to me.

My wife is in Chicago that weekend and the in-laws have the kid.

UNI is @ Indiana State (not a day trip)
No game in Iowa City, so no drinking there - not that I want to go be around those douche bags.
Iowa State is @ Oklahoma State
Drake is @ Jacksonville
SDSU is @ Illinois State (3.5 hours)
YSU is @ MSU (6.5 hours)
USD is @ SIU (6 hours)

So...

I can sit at home by myself all day or I can make a short trip to see a game in person...

I'm not sure I'm going yet, as it would be a late night getting home. 4pm pick off, 7PM end of game, by the time I'm home it's probably after 10.

I will be at that game also. Curious to see how they handle them at home. Good comparison for this years teams anyway.

SDSU ISUr might be worth the drive

ISUb UNI is worth 6 hours though

I got your number...just got it this morning. Sorry, had I saw it sooner I would have given you a call when I was up there.

If you're going down let me know.

It might be...I can't keep that one a secret from my wife though...a quick 2.5 hour trip I could.

Totally understand that one. I figured ISUb UNI would be on ESPN3. If they both win this week maybe it will get picked up.

Yeah...

if I wanted to see D3 ball (which I played...at Wartbrug) I would go to every Coe or Cornell game as they are both 20 minutes from my house.

However, I don't and I don't...so I won't.


Maybe if Wartburg was at Coe...but they are at Central. I don't much care for the "dutchness" of Pella, IA. So I avoid it.

Not hiding...just trying to do things without her knowing.

WIU tickets generally aren't too tough to get, though it is WIU's homecoming that weekend.

The UNI In State game would be the one to go to obviously, but both are still too far for me to drive. Enjoy the weather. The last time I was in Terre Haute it was 70+ in November.
