UIC Bus Trip

[uwmsafan]

Hey everyone. Who all is going down for the UIC game on Saturday?

Athletics is still selling the tickets/bus ride. So get them before they are gone.

Wish I could go, damn military always gets in my way! I'll be trying to find a radio

I know that I am going along with N8 and Joe, Beth, Tim, and Jenna, possibly Jamie? Im going to try to get N8's and my brother to come along too. I am pretty sure we are all taking the bus down there. We will be sure to have plenty drink for the ride. Hopefully everyone else will get obnoxiously drunk for the game too. See everyone there.

The Athletics Dept. said that 1 bus is full for the UIC bus and they are getting pretty far along on #2. It would be awesome to bring 3 busses full of fans down there. ONLY $15--the price of the ticket--so it's a free ride to the Pavilion.

I think It would be great to see 3 full busses down in UIC. We could really compete with all the screaming 12 year olds. It would be even cooler to see everyone supporting the team and Bruce Pearl, wearing gold Bruce Is My Homeboy T shirts considering he was ejected down there last year. Hopefully we will have another 100 or so of them on the bus to sell to anyone who wants one. I'll update when we know more.

I am bringing six, possibley TEN!.

LEts all do the 30 pack challenge!

But seriously folks, make sure you are ready to go to UIC. That means do not go the bath room alone, do not get a beer alone. stay with the group all the time. Im serious, and do not give any thug a reason to get mad.

Are u reserves/guard? Where do u drill? I'm in the same boat, I've got an Army Guard drill this weekend, so I can't go to the UIC game. Happens every year.
I still haven't been to the Pav.
Oh well, hopefully will get to go to the Valpo and Kansas games though.

For some reason, the HL website has tip off listed as 4:00 Saturday. Anyone know something I don't?

[uwm6thman]

I have about four or five going down to UIC and we will be doing the jagarbomb challenge as always! Hopefully the bus doesn't drop us off like 2hrs early like last year in Butler so we don't get into trouble with the local athorities and soccer moms;D ;D

[uwmfan]

Just made the decision....gotta be at this game. I'm even bringing two of my kids. We gotta rock that joint!!!
Y'all try and have one for me....

i'm working on getting my season ticket holder group to go... that'd be 4 of us. we did the bus trip to GB last year and i can attest that that was maybe the most fun game of the year for me. nothing like going into someone elses house and taking it over. it was an awesome sight!

[admin]

I cant make the UIC trip! No opportunity to have soda dumped on me by preschoolers. I have already signed up for Valpo...Homer Drew here I come!

MilwCatFan...talking to MU is like taling to a brick wall! We're MILWAUKEE'S BEST once again this year and any true follower of basketball knows this!

Yes, any true "student of the game" might know this, the problem is, if we ever want more than 4,xxx fans for a non-TV home game, we need more casual fans to know it. And no offense, most casual Milwaukee area fans have been to a few MU games here or there, even if they're not students or alumni. Most of those casual fans have not been to one of our games, though, and if u were to tell them that we had the better team lately, they'd think u were crazy. Seriously. This is what were up against, and sometimes banging our own drum helps speed up the process of perception catching up to reality.
It's also fun watching those GoldenChickens try to deny that reality, too! ;D

yeah, it's frustrating to know we probably have the better team this year yet most in this town don't realize this. but you know what, as much as i dislike marquette, you have to respect tradition. and every time i'm in the bradley center and i look up at that post season marquette banner hanging there it always kind of snaps me back to reality and what we're up against. they've had an awful lot of succes for a long time. we just have to remember it takes time to build a following, and you have to earn it. they've earned it. we're working on it and i believe we have a chance to get there. and what's so fun now is some of the more sensible MU fans out there know we're catching up. the rest are in denial...

man, i feel dirty saying any positive about marquette.

Don't, that was very well put PANTHERfan. I agree, it's just the ones that are in denial, or worse, disrespectful, that I dislike. And there are a LOT of them over on that board. They'll learn. It might take us playing and beating them, but eventually they'll learn.

Wish I could go to the UIC game but I've got to work. Seriously travel in numbers when walking around that dumpy arena. or else you will have thugs and 8 year olds picking fights with you.
