Illinois State Bus Trip

[alleycat]

Yes, we only have around 10 people signed up and would need 20 more to make this trip a go. Below are the details.

Macomb- Western Illinois 10/20 (We can stop in CR/IA City)

Departure Times(pending) Leave around 12:30pm
The game has been moved to 6:37pm and we will get back late(2:30am). Sorry but we are unable to find rooms for this trip.

Price
$65 and includes your ticket.

To reserve a spot on the bus you will need to do the following:
1. PM either JCPanthers or myself with your home number, cell and e-mail address.
2. We will then give you information on how to reserve your seat on the bus. If we are unable to obtain enough fans for the bus you will not be charged anything. Two weeks prior to the trip you will be locked into paying for your reserved seat on the bus.

For those who don't need a ticket for the game we will deduct the ticket price($13) from the amount of the trip.

Is there a bus trip for W. Illinois in the works?

Gonzo...I'd lose the signature. Iowa fans had the same feeling going into the ISU game and look what happened. We still have one more game....and I'm sure your signature will find it's way into the Drake Lockeroom.

Iowa fans were talking about what the billboard would look like if they put one over in Ames.....AFTER they beat ISU. Well...the rest as they say is history.

[GonzoCat]

Aah, you spoil sport.

Actually a lot of Iowa fans were worried about losing to ISU and that's probably why they did. Everybody, the fans, the team is so worried about it that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy and they do lose.

There's a huge difference between Iowa losing to ISU and UNI losing to Drake in football. One has been happening on a very regular basis the past decade, one hasn't.

If I was worried about losing to Drake I wouldn't have ordered 1,000 of those shirts.

Sorry man...things like that make me nervous!!

Don't forget, Drake went to Illinois State and beat them.

Back to the topic, of this thread....if any of you want on the bus you better hurry, because spots are filling up FAST. As of tonight, we only have one spot left...however, Alleycat is checking with the bus company tomorrow to see if we can get a bigger bus. This is AWESOME!!!!

[JCPanthers]

So who is going the person to organize a get together at the stadium of fellow Panther Nation members. So we can have good time of meeting fellow members. I can't be the person as I'm coming in the day of the game so I can't block off a section of the parking lot. I usually get into town about hour before the game.

Sorry Jon...we won't be arriving that early to tailgate or meet up with anyone.

With every game we win the support and enthusiam will increase. If we do manage to start out 5-0, I think we will finally see a sell out for homecoming. A lot of people know the history of amazing games against SIU and a lot of other people will just want to see the best team in the state play.

[JCPanthers]

As of today...the bus is FULL. However, a larger bus is on order...so we will have more seats available, BUT they are going FAST!!!

Great job guys! Glad to see you have been trying to do all of those things to get people informed! I think once you get one of these going, people will start to make them a "must do" and you'll have no problem for future trips! (And, of course, it will help when the team keeps winning!!)

Makes me wish I lived down there and could go on these too!

[joecooll6]

Were on board!

[JayJ79]

Does anyone know if UNI is selling tickets for the Ill. State game, or should I just go through the Redbird ticket office?
(I'm not taking the bus, as I have a friend in Peoria and am just crashing there)

[DrewDog]

At least based on my experience in the past, you had to buy tickets from the other school. At least that was how it was last year.

[JayJ79]

I figured that, as that how it was with Drake tickets. I figure I'll call them tommorrow

[TravelingPanther]

We have 3 tix to Ill State. We will try and meet up if we get there in time.

[Jonsoup]

Just look for me and introduce yourself. I will be wearing a OLD GOLD UNI ball cap with a OLD PURPLE UNI Jacket. I'm wanting to meet some more people on this board like I met in Chatty and Bowling Green couple of years ago as well at the basketball games last year.

[TravelingPanther]

We'll have to arrange something next week.
