So I posted earlier today about trying to find fellow wolverines in Oregon to watch tomorrow's game with.

Well I decided to get on a plane instead. Headed for Minnesota.

I am so pumped to watch us play for the natty title tomorrow! Go Blue!!!

Ps if Anyone reading this is there already and has extra tickets, I'll buy them. I need 2.

Thanks for all the great responses to my "Cool Story." I will be sure to represent the Maize and Blue to the best of my ability. I have a feeling that this is our night. But we will see.

Go Blue for Life!!!!!

that's actually pretty legit, I did something similar with the ncaa basketball tournament this year. I got a plane ticket the night before.

Used FF miles for most of the ticket, still cost 350 for that.

Got a free hotel room (overlooking the Xcel Center) courtesy of my dad's business points.

Took a bus from the airport to the hotel for 2 bucks.

Now I just gotta lock down tickets and I'm all set!!!

If you don't get tickets by other means, go to the Eagle Street Grille (across the street west of Xcel). The scalpers congregate on that corner. You shouldn't have a problem.

Actually, for anyone looking to pre-game, Eagle Street is pretty standard.

Kudos to you BKlein.  It should be a tale you can tell your kids.  If I were you, I'd sneak into the lockerroom after the victory (but that's just me.  Gambler by nature).

Have a blast dude.  Hopefully you'll remember this the rest of your life. When you go to Yost and see the banner, you'll be able to say "I was there!"

of their tickets. They'd probably give you the double-bird while taking your money, which would make the transaction even more satisfying.

So jealous of you.  One of my friends who doesn't even really like hockey just flitted out of Ann Arbor for the game.  I promised myself freshman year (08) that if we went to the FF again I'd go.  And yet here I am in Ann Arbor.  Ugh.
