Road trippin

[JayJ79]

First off, the Panther bus trips sponsored by the PSC and organized by alleycat and JCP are by far the best way to experience the road games.


But sometimes I need a cheaper, non-overnight alternative. So I'm debating about driving myself to a game or two. And I thought I'd post to see if anyone else was looking to make same-day trips (i.e. no hotel stay) to the NDSU or SDSU games, or to the Illinois State game for that matter;
and if anyone would like to carpool (either riding with me, or if someone else has an extra space in their vehicle for a game and was looking for someone to split the fuel costs).

Anyone else thinking along those lines?

Depending on finances, we usually make some suicide trips. The bus trips are awesome(I went on a basketball trip once), but I agree, sometimes you have to find the cheapest route.

I will ride with you, but only if you have room for my axe.

Both of which have gotten plenty of use I'm sure, with all the storm damage this summer. heh.

Jay ~ we might be interested in one or two of those road trips, depending on what other commitments I have. I usually have to trade to get home game weekends off, which means I have obligations on away games...but you never know!

Welcome to Brookings, SD for Hobo Day, South Dakota's LARGEST one day event.

Try to catch the Parade (starts @ 9:00 AM), Tail gating on the north side of Coughlin, before the game at 2 PM.

When you're pretty certain about making the trip, come visit with the Jacks fans at www.SDSUfans.com/board

Members of the Jacks fans club enjoy good conversation and before the game and afterwards, rehashing the game over brews at Cubbies or other bar.

We came up to the game two years ago and I'll have to say was the worst tailgating atmosphere we've ever experienced. Nothing against the SDSU fans, because it's obvious they want to have a good time. The problem is your freaking cops. We had a cop walk by our tailgate every 5 minutes...like they were just looking to bust someoone. Then after the game, they were practically waiting for us at our tailgate and told us to get going.

Sweet!!! It pays to know someone with connections.

Seriously, I'm guessing they were following orders from the University...so I probably shouldn't blame the police.

Re: Road trippin

I recall them making us sign a waiver to get into the tailgate lot at SDSU. Never seen that before.
