CSNbbs

Anyone from NIU or DeKalb know if your fans there are organizing groups for a trip to CMU?

I haven't been back to the Alma Mater in a few years, but I believe there's enough to see to fill your day or weekend.

Game-Day, for instance

Take a tour of campus.
Go to the Homecoming Parade.
Grab a couple quick drinks downtown at The Bird and The Pub.
Experience the pagentry of college football. (Kelly-Shorts seats 30,000; plus 1000s more of lawn seating.)
Have dinner at the brewpub or other many decent establishments around town.
Hit the top-notch Casino.

Wish I could be there. I must say it would be cool to see the Huskies have a miniature version of the Husker's Big Red Traveling Machine.

Sorry, but I don't think we will be bringing a big crowd. Maybe 500 at the most(and that is probably very high). There are no plans to have a big group that I know of, those trips are being planned for BG and Toledo. At this point I am planning on making the trip but I will probably miss the parade because I am not staying overnight which means that I have to leave home early just to get there before kickoff and not have much time to spend before the game. I am planning on checking out your campus and get something to eat after the game, then head home. I would like to see the Casino if I get a chance.
