Let's Go To Vermillion

[Pearson's Hockey Bus]

Time to show our football fans what the hockey fans have been doing for years! We cannot keep all the fun to ourselves! *wink*

Let's fill at least 2 buses to support BUBBA AND THE BOYS in Vermillion! September 16 is guaranteed to be a full day of fun.

We'll leave from the N side of the Ralph at 7AM sharp... load at 6:30AM. We will head home after the game...and yes, stopping along the way there and back.

$96 per person covers game ticket, bus, driver costs adult beverages and water. PLEASE SIGN UP BY AUG. 11 by commenting in the discussion area or call/text me: 701-388-9825 (Joanna!) Money due at time of sign up - checks won't be cashed until two weeks prior to the event. Let's do this!    Email:  pearsonshockeybus@gmail.com

LOVE it. Nice work!

I drive up to Grand Forks from Sioux City, IA for almost every home game....and if i could have someone else drive, buy my ticket and some beers, hell, I'd sign up in a heartbeat! $95 would hardly cover your gas.  

Lucky for me, i get the short drive for this game.

Assume you'll do a Fargo pickup?

Lets hope they don't have room to stop in Fargo and Fargo Fans can then put together another bus.

I'll be on the bus from the Twin Cities.  Let me know when it's set up.

So ND fans and alumni that don't live in GF should stay home? 

I think you misunderstood his post...

Who is going to set up the bus from the twin cities to grand forks for und home games?

2 things this bus trip reminds me of, it goes by the campus of the team that SD beat 2 years ago and starts on the campus of the team that beat SD in a wild come from behind win last year.

Bring Sitting Bull with you when you come.  He'll be staying in Vermillion after the game for some time.

UND leads the series 61-29-5, and we have won 22 of the last 26 games played.  Sitting Bull is has pretty much has resided in Grand Forks for most of the rivalry.  Wait, isn't one of the main factors of a good rivalry that both teams go back in forth in winning the game?  Otherwise it is just a yearly, one sided beatdown....like UND has been doing to the Yotes for decades!! 

Wouldn't mind seeing a new trophy starting in 2020 when we start playing conference games.  That waqy the new trophy can take up permanant residence in Grand Forks much like the Sitting Bull trophy did for years and years and years!!  HA!! 

(All smack talk aside, I am excited that UND will soon be back in the same conference with USD and the other Dakota schools).

I was impressed with USD's team last year. It will be a good game. UND is still the favorite. UND's 2017 team is going to be quite experienced; also, UND will already have played @ Utah by the time the USD game comes around (for 2017 road experience sake).  I expect plenty of UND fans in attendance to cheer on UND to victory.

Maybe the year he/she dropped out.... and the last time the Yotes won a game in the series.

Their last victory came against the worst UND team in the last 25 years.  They won by 10 at home.

The odds of that happening are about 1 in vermillion.

Siouxphan27, you get another "A". You come up dandies!!!

[siouxfan512]

There are a lot of Alumni in the Mpls area. If someone setup a bus from the cities to USD, I would definitely consider going.

[CMSioux]

Wonder if there will be any issues getting tickets? Checked their site and single games aren't on sale yet. Let's monitor and post here when they do. 

[UND Fan]

You should check with the UND athletic department.  I am sure they will get a specific number of tickets from USD.  They would be made available to Champions Club members first but, if available, you could then sit with UND fans.  I am not sure if UND would have a "waiting list" for these tickets or simply sell them when they arrive.

[CMSioux]

Well I am a Champion's Club member - who never gets his membership cards on time and is still waiting for his copy of the new Sioux Illustrated. But I agree I'm sure UND will get the word out on their ticket allotment.

On sale to Howling Pack members only.  General public sales are still a couple of weeks out.

Not sure how many tickets will be left for general sale because I heard HP members were buying chunks of seats up.
