Southern Illinois roadtrip
Trying to get a carload going to Carbondale this weekend. I know I would like to go and my wife might as well.
I know OSBF mentioned he might want to go. Trying to get a carload of people and figure out splitting gas or something, because I'm too broke to go it alone. Cap'n, Jay, Clenz, OSBF?

Re: Southern Illinois roadtrip
Make sure you guys have your tickets ahead of time, homecoming weekend. I'd recommend trying to enter the stadium at least 30 minutes prior to kick-off. Only two entrances and there tends to be some bottlenecks when the team/band enters.
Re: Southern Illinois roadtrip
We can't made it Rob. We ended up getting the passes from TBH's cousin for his teams hockey game in Omaha, so we are headed West.
Re: Southern Illinois roadtrip
Would love to go. I would even pay for gas and alcohol, but you didn't invite me, so fuck off and have a nice trip. 
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

I think that right now we are looking at Terre Haute. Might be the only game we win the rest of the year as bad as we played Saturday.

Re: Southern Illinois roadtrip
That sounds depressing. I've only heard stories of Terre Haute because I've never wanted to waste my time and money. Let me know if you change your mind. Carbondale should be a blast win or lose.OSBF wrote:I think that right now we are looking at Terre Haute. Might be the only game we win the rest of the year as bad as we played Saturday.

Re: Southern Illinois roadtrip
If I remember right, Normal, IL isn't the prettiest site for a game either. I have been there so I should know, and Terre Haute isn't that, I live there.

Heck if I know. Like I said, that was two years ago, so SIU was still mediocre in basketball then instead of just plain awful.pantherrob82 wrote:Wow, basketball has made you guys bitter, eh?siuham wrote:[youtube][/youtube]

Regardless, the song is originally towards the Illini. We tried changing it on the spot and the drunkenness canceled out the forethought to remember all the words to change.

Re: Southern Illinois roadtrip
Sounds like things are pretty much a go. Just a matter of who is coming with. Entirely too long of a drive for a 2pm kickoff. If we leave at 6am, we arrive between 11 and noon, Saluki fans give us free food and beer, watch game, get home at midnight...

No excitement from the Saluki fans? I'm like the second coming of Cap'n Cat.

Rob,
Post something on their site, SalukiTalk.net. Good people, a couple mouth-breathing dorm fvcks, but very good folks. They'd be glad to host you for a tailgater.
