ILL State Game Attendance?

[TravelingPanther]

But somehow your opinion matters?

Give me a break.

where did I say my opinion matters? if you read any of my posts...i said i'm going, and that's my preference, and that I understand why others won't. If you want to participate in this fun thread, at least please read it.

of course...

people are always absolutely pissed. see previous threads. if it's not one things it's another.

of course they get pissed

Missing senior night for these guys when many of them have been carrying the load for years would irk many of them.

It's not that I don't see why they are playing. They want prep and rest for the tournament, I get that. I just think that its a public relations nightmare for the University if something happens.

I also don't buy the prep time argument, because it's not like IlSU is getting out of here anyway.

Getting ready to head over to Becks for a pregame beverage. To everyone who is going to the game....Drive safely.

Go Panthers!!

In a way, they are though.

GBPAC cancelled it's showing of Queen Ida (whoever that is) and the people that were going to come, now don't even have to make the decision.

However with the basketball game, the University is in a way saying, if you think it's safe to come, come. I realize that most people will do what they want but just because the University isn't begging people to come doesn't mean that in a way, they're condoning it.

Queen Ida's regular season isn't over Wednesday. You know? I'm not making this decision. Just playing around on a message board. You guys all have great points. Only thing I've said was that we're all going to do whatever we feel is best, including UNI.

If you want to go down this road, that seems fine with me.

I have read your posts in the thread, and many of them are ridiculous. I-80, US20, and 218 are closed all over the place, but, since you live in the 'loo, it should not matter that they are playing the game.

I understand that. I've stated that as well. I understand that people who don't feel safe going will be disappointed with good reason.

No, but we do have the west gym

have some chicken tortilla soup for me.

No we don't have the West Gym. The RED CROSS DOES. It is an emergency shelter for people to go to as they lose power....

But the basketball game is just a basketball game. The same way that Queen Ida is just a show. I think it's really odd that everything at the University has completely shut down, EXCEPT the McLeod.

I guess in a way, it's kind of cool as well, showing how dedicated to our team we are. However I hope something doesn't happen after the game, because this could be a nightmare.

And if UNI would lose, oh man, I wonder where the blame will fall then?

So now you're arguing opinion? That's just silly, FM.

Which posts were ridiculous? I'm not travelling I-80, HWY 20, or 218...so that doesn't bother me.

point was, we have plenty of room for ILS to practice and sleep until they leave. We have other hoops.

[Newsbreaker]

Is becks even open? They had no power earlier today.

[jman2004]

I was just going to say, I don't think Beck's is open. But call ahead.
