morley Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 We could stick you in the trunk if we need more room. I would suggest sticking Diggler in the trunk, it is the best way of controlling his taurrets (sp?) syndrome. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Pretty sure it's you, me, and Diggler in the car (that I have yet to find)... You don't have a vehicle and you're inviting people to go with you?? Is this anything like the New Math? Because I don't get this either! Quote
LadyDy Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Hey everyone - Al Pearson has a fan bus going to this game!! Call him up at 218-779-5740 for details. He has the ride, "refreshments" on the bus, hotel rooms and game tickets all lined up. It's the way to go. His trips are awesome. I went with him to the Mich Tech series the last time he took a bus there. Had a ball. Also, for a heads up on his other trips this year - he's going to Mankato and Duluth too. Tell him Lady Dy sent you - I better give him a call to make sure he saves me a seat. Quote

Tell him Lady Dy sent you - I better give him a call to make sure he saves me a seat. Just called him. Bus, refreshments, and tickets are 140 total, plus the room which is $59 (double occupancy, two queen sized beds...cost is split) so it's approx $170. Sounds like fun, just waiting to see what the other options were. Quote
Siouxman Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Michigan Tech trip now questionable for us due to work commitment. We will try to make it, but may have to cancel. Bummer. Quote
Big A HG Posted October 3, 2007 Author Posted October 3, 2007 I'm going to try my hand at Al's bus trip. Haven't heard anything but good things. Quote
LeftyZL Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I'm going to try my hand at Al's bus trip. Haven't heard anything but good things. My advice: Less Luggage, More alcohol. That's what I seem to remember after seeing the bus pull up in Milwaukee in 1997 at 10am. They had most of the luggage compartments filled with beer and other things for the over-night trip. Better buckle up. It's always a fun time. Quote
Diggler Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 When I went to Duluth a couple years ago Al & Co. were running around the Holiday Inn yelling and screaming at 2 in the morning. Quote
disco Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 When I went to Duluth a couple years ago Al & Co. were running around the Holiday Inn yelling and screaming at 2 in the morning. A couple of buddies and I signed up to be on the bus. There are a total of 56 people riding. This is my first bus trip so I am looking forward to it. I plan on bring a deck of cards and Al said bring radio so I can listen to the vikes game on the way home. Guess there is no drinking until we get into Minnesota.... that will be at about 6:05 AM..... How long of a drive is it to Houghton??? Do I need to bring beverages or is there enough on the bus? After the games, can we walk to the bars in town? Give me the low down on Houghton. Quote
YaneA Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 It's about 10 hours as the bus rolls. The keg will be tapped early and often. Passengers will have brought some hard stuff with them and will usuallly share; a tray of jello shots might be passed around. Treats (bars, sub platter, cookies, snack mix, you name it) will be passed around, too. There usually isn't any soda or water unless you bring your own. There will be a couple of stops at gas stations so you can replenish your junk food stash. When we stop for lunch, sometimes we all go in to a sit-down restaurant and other times, scatter for the fast food places at the interstate plaza. Quote

Diggler Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Thursday morning? Are you taking the scenic route through Omaha? It's not that long of a car ride. We are going to experience the ambiance that is Houghton, Michigan. Quote
LeftyZL Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 We are going to experience the ambiance that is Houghton, Michigan. I'd appreciate a list of the "hot spots" in Houghton, Michigan on SiouxSports.com Friday morning before I take off from Duluth. Quote
Bob in Wisconsin Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Damn, that bus trip sounds like a lot of fun. Definitley the way to go. I'm only 4 hrs from Tech, but I have to work Saturday. I have another question for you. I know it's off topic, but here it is anyway. I've been going to Sioux games since 2003, and I love the end of the National Anthem..."Home of the Sioux". I've seen a few games in St. Paul as well, and it's fun to get an idea of how many Sioux fans are there. Here's the question...how far back can you remember the fans doing that? The 70's? 60's? How did it start? Just curious. Thanks! Quote

Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Anyone know what the weather's supposed to be like? I guess I'll assume COLD.... Just wondering! Quote
