jukenjive27 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I sent my dad one last e-mail asking if he was 100% certain he was willing to pass this trip up. 10:90 hope you can go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 hope you can go I've lost sleep crunching the numbers in my head, but there's a possibility that if the Sioux win on Thursday, I may just break the bank and fly out of Minneapolis/St Paul with my boy on Saturday and return on Sunday. Considering I was going to pay for everything for my dad on the trip anyways, I'm guessing a five day venture by bus can't be much cheaper than a 24 hour stint by plane, can it? 5:95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran some numbers on priceline and travelocity last night. Like I said, I was paying for my dad anyways, so we're talking about $400 for the bus, $400 for hotel room, meals for Wednesday-Sunday, etc...for a few hundred bucks more, it may very well be worth it. Hey, new odds! Saturday only: 40/60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, new odds! Saturday only: 40/60 I don't even know you, but this is what I think you should do: Leave the cities after school on Wed. Ride with the pair from SiouxSports.com who are looking for riders. (Meet in Fargo. My guess is you could even find a Fargo driveway to park in via SS.com) There are lots of options for hotel rooms. You WILL find tickets. Just go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFrog Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Pulled in to the Quality Inn Central about 20 mins ago, on the 6th floor and the place is already flooded with Sioux fans!! Other than a MAJOR rain shower about 45 miles north of Denver, the trip went well. Also damn the south wind and it was howling!! Edit: Where in the hell are the mountains??
