OK, anyone got a play for Huskie fans to gather after the game. I see where the NIU ticket guy said that this was the biggest sale of tickets for a road game ever.

I wonder if we sold our entire allotment. That would be pretty cool if we didn't return any tickets for a change.
I remember having some pretty big road turnouts to BG & Toledo last year, and at Northwestern and Wisconsin in year's past.

According to the Star, they have sold about 1/2.....400 of 800.
There was a nice article in the Star promoting students to road trip out to Maryland....I'll post it.

GCD, it would be nice to find a bar that's showing the Toledo/Minnesota game after our game. That game starts at 9 est., just about the time our game is ending. Let us know if you find one, and I'll try and get my group to head over there.

If you guys win, I would not go to the bars in CP. If you lose, I would suggest the Fe, as there's more room. Bentley's will really be crowded.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to count our chickens before they hatched.
I remember going into a packed Waffle House with Lukulos in Tuscaloosa after the Alabama game, and heard one of them tell us, "you got a lot of balls coming in here".
I doubt the Terp fans would be as nice as the fans down in Alabama (not a slight against Maryland fans, but Alabama fans are just the nicest people in the world, and have adopted a certain code of ethic that I wish would be adopted by all fans around the country).

Shoot, the 'Bama folks at bars on the strip in Tuscaloosa were buying me beers! The key is not being a loudmouth.
