Mama Cat has agreed to open up the checkbook a hair, so Cap'n Cat gets to take in his first game of the year! Will be taking Commander Cat and Lieutenant Cat off her hands for a day, so she better be grateful.




My choices:

SFA @ UNI: Would love to go to this one, but The Cap'n always ends up spending $20,000 on UNI FB weekends. Can't stay out of the bookstore and He drinks too much beer and eats too much pizza at the Other Place on the Hill. On the other hand, always good to see my Panther friends.

USC @ Minnesota: I find myself on the Minnesota collapse bandwagon, esp after South Dakota throttled them at home. Always for the underdog, so this one might be a game to go to to actually root for the homeboys. In what has been a topsy-turvy beginning to the college football season, you never know if Minnesota turns it around for a game and slaps the Trojans silly....and we were there! Very good tailgating scene and me and the Kittens would wear all our fisnest purple UNI stuff to parade around the Metrodome. Someone might recognize that #22 UNI recently beat #8 Minnesota in volleyball.

Morgan State @ North Dakota State: I've given the guys on Bisonville so much crap that The Cap'n feels he should go up there and salve their Panther-inflicted wounds. Kinda far away, though, and their stadium is like Benny Hinn's cathedral, dark and quiet, more suited for church bingo than college football.

Illinois State @ South Dakota State: This one is a huge possibility, ony four hours away and cool fans. We saw them play Central Arkansas there a couple of years ago and had a great time. Cap'n Cat loves the state of South Dakota, too. Might not come home and just get a dishwashing job at a Denny's in Rapid City and live out there permanently.

Trine @ Wisc. River Falls: WTF is Trine???? This one is a good one cuz it's only 1.5 hours away and only 15 minutes from Grandma Cat. DIII, nice stadium, liquor stores and bars every fifteen feet. Cheap admission. But, don't know anyone there.

Northwestern Oklahoma State @ South Dakota: Four hours away, only one hour from maternal Grandpa and Grandma Cat, perhaps they could join us. Never been to a game there and would like to see where the Cats are going to play in a few weeks, the Dakota Dome.

Wayne State (NE) at Minnesota-Duluth: Nice drive, only three-and-change away from home. Will be cold as a muv, but we'll suit up. Duluth recently voted the second worst winter city in the U.S. behind Syracuse NY, and just ahead of Casper WY and Detroit and Cleveland. http://www.farmersalmanac.com/weather/2 ... er-cities/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Good DII football. UM-Duluth is just a couple years removed from a DII NC.

Bemidji State at Southwest Minnesota State: Had a blast with the Kittens at SWMS a few years ago when they played Wayne State (NE). Hearty tailgating, cute coeds, good football. Odd stadium, though - looks like a horse racing track! Lost my checkbook there and it was returned intact anonymously. Gotta love that. That wouldn't happen at a Delaware game.

Winona State at St. Cloud State: Very picturesque campus on a bluff over the Mississippi, only 1.75 hours away. We've seen Winona play at their cool stadium, but have never been to a St. Cloud game. Someone said the field was a hole. Meh, I don't know.

So whaddaya think???

Cedar Falls is in the need of a Captain stimulus plan. Plus, it would afford me the chance to meet the legend during the tailgate.

How about Concordia at St. Johns?

I've always wanted to see a game coached by one of the most overlooked and true coaching legends, John Gagliardi, who is in his 62nd season now.

This is probably the last year for ST. Cloud State Football. The field is field turf. The stadium is not on a bluff, rather on the bank of the Mississippi, kind of under a bridge. Your are correct though, its very nice. I usually find my way up there to a game every year.

I like Marshall too. Both St. Cloud and Marshall are about an hour for me.

Skip NDSU.

Concordia at St. Johns is a great matchup in one of the prettiest stadiums you will ever see. Im pretty sure the game is sold out but you may still be able to buy tickets outside. Big gamble though. Id check on tickets before considering that one but it might be the best suggestion out of all of them. St. Johns is just outside St. Cloud in the beautiful Avon hills in Collegeville Twsp.

You know Cedar Falls is the place to be Bill. Like I told you before, I owe you a beer and some food

Sounds like you have lots of people offering to buy you beer and food at UNI, which would offset the costs.

If you choose to take in USC and UMN at the Metrodome, you might find yourself just a little lonely...since they don't play there anymore.

I've got some in-laws at River Falls...I didn't realize they even had a football team there. I like the town, though. I've got a soft spot for little towns like that.

Duh, forgot. Brand spankin' new stadium, too!

And, clenz, you don't owe me dick. Let me peek at your wife's jugs once in the OP restroom, then we'll be even.

JBB, when I cross the Hwy 23 bridge in St. Cloud to campus, it is a bluff to me, not the highest, but a nice li'l bluff.

Don't like to go to DIII privates schools as many are stuffy about tailgating and drinking.

UNI game. ainec.

Doc

Well since Olaf's isn't an option, I don't see how you don't go to the UNIdome.

BTW, what college coed wouldn't want a piece of this specimen??

You have to take that up with her. I'd gladly show you mine, but you seem interested in hers.

Where ever you go, i better get a FEMALE nipple pic sent ti my iphone!

Haven't seen it myself for a long time. Likely gone. Don't worry, I'll get a new one.

Are you talking about the one on the left or the right?

And you're always welcome to join me at the UVa-Wise @ Emory & Henry game this Saturday. E&H has a great little stadium and I can usually talk my way around any tailgate hassles! You gotta wear your JMU stuff, though.

At least Cap didn't wet himself in that picture...unlike one on the NDSU and SIU sites.

Would love to, Mac. Gotta figger out how to make a living as an FCS tailgating ambassador, then I'll go everywhere!

This... if it were hockey.

It's down to the UNI and SDSU games!

The SDSU game is about an hour and a half from my parents house.


All the more reason to come to UNI, we are about 5 hours from there down here.


Kidding, I love my parents...they just don't have the same definition of "fun" as I do.
