zippyrifle32 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 5:30 am? damn that's early. Makes me wonder what time they expect to get back. Great deal for students though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Especially for students, this is a fantastic deal. A free trip to Evanston, including meal and game tickets? That's a silver lining in this tournament cloud, IMO. I may have to clear my schedule and get a spot on the non-student bus. Any posters planning on meeting up for the bus ride?GO ZIPS!SeeTeeZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbozeglav Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 game is at 2pm, i think, so the match should be over by 4, no later than 5, meaning we would be getting back to akron no later than midnight.I may go because, as a student, it's a free trip. Just gonna suck having to leave at 4am to make it to Akron and stopping at my dorm to get some gear, but I think this is going to be well worth it.

GoZips88 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I've got a phone call and e-mail in to Chad for two non-student tix. VERY cool UA is covering the cost of the bus. Looking forward to it but it WILL be a VERY long day. Extra batteries for the MP3 player and a book are in order.I wonder if there is any way to get the UA basketball game on satellite radio for the return trip home? They'll be playing Eastern Kentucky I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
