jukenjive27 Posted April 8, 2008 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
MafiaMan Posted April 8, 2008 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

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

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

RedFrog Posted April 9, 2008 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?? Quote
gfbugman Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 just wanted to let everyone know we made it to deadwood and will be leaving for Denver at 6am Quote
RedFrog Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Also, the Quality Inn Central has an OUTDOOR pool, NO indoor pool available. FYI. Quote
