PCM Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Has anyone heard when the team is scheduled to arrive back in Grand Forks? Is anyone planning to go meet them? I was thinking about it. Who's with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'm going, no matter what. It is apparently around a 3 hour flight. I know someone who will be on that plane and will be getting a call right before the plane takes off. I can post that info when I receive it for whoever is interested. It will probably be around 2 am. I don't care how late it is, I think they have earned and deserve a little bit of Sioux pride and encouragement after a season where most didn't think they would get this far. We should make signs to take with us or something...Maybe something like "Thanks for the ride" or "You made us proud" or something maybe more creative (cuz that's all I got ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 It would be great if you could post the projected arrival time here. Maybe I'll make a sign that says: Vaht? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I would go to do this but it's 5+ hours from the cities. Ain't going to happen. But they deserve it. Please give them my regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they deserve it. Please give them my regards. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I won't be able to make it either, but I'd like to say the same thing. It may not be #8, but this was still a banner year. We are proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I got a call stating they were leaving right around midnight. That would put them here sometime around 3 am. I don't know exactly how long of a flight it is, but I think to be safe people would want to go a little after 2:30 just so we don't miss them. I'm pretty sure they will be arriving at flight services and NOT at the terminal. Is anyone really going out there? I'd feel pretty stupid being the only one there...

I'm with you, I would feel like a dumb a$$ standing out there by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Where's PCM? I thought he was in for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Rico Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Where's PCM? I thought he was in for sure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought so to, somebody call and wake him up. Wasn't it a 2 hour flight when they left for Columbus or am I mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 That would be good to know. I wonder if there's a number for flight services or the grand forks airport where we could find out their ETA. Someone out there has to know what it is... You know, for this thread getting 200 views we're not getting much feedback. Will Uncle Rico and I be alone out there or who else is with us??

PCM Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 I took a nap, but I'm up now. You guys still planning to go out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 He's alive!! Well, judging from responses here, that would make a whopping 3 of us...Are there more? If there are, I say let's do it. If not, would 3 lonely people standing outside in the dark just be more pathetic than anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Three people holding a "Vaht?" sign would be pretty pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Agreed. So what's the verdict? If I'm not going out there, I'm going to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle_Rico Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'm heading out there. If there is no one out there I will just head back. It's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'd be suprised if there weren't other people out there. I'd just like to have a better idea of where to go and when to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Any ideas on where we could find a phone number to call someone out there who might know more info? Maybe the "sudo-reporter" has connections or a brilliant idea on that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Well, that was back in '82. But how much you wanna bet I can throw a football over those mountains. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any mountain in Grand Forks would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I called flight services out at the airport (which is where the charters fly into) but they are "closed" whatever that means. The guy had no info for me. Anyone else want to give it a shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I'm up, I figure that I might as well drive out to the airport and see if I can spot something or find someone who knows what's happening.

siouxyeahyeah Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 So you're taking off now? That might be a good bet...If it was in fact a 2 hour flight it could be touching down shortly. What happened to Rico?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
