I thought the game was at 11 AM Eastern. I guess that's a little early (8 AM Pacific), isn't it? I hope you have a good time and the weather's nice as well. Go Blue, Beat Roo.

I may drive up! Negotiating with the woman as we speak! Might cost me a meal or 3 but hell, I love all things wolverine. DB, bring that Lacrosse home baby! I'll support! I'm missing Asquare as of late. (But not the weather...sorry!)

Make sure you tell her that soccer takes twice as long as it really does so you'll have extra time to celebrate the victory. My friend's wife is still under the impression that a round of golf takes 8-9 hours. Gives us more drinking time.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:02 PM ^
it doesn't?
December 10th, 2010 at 3:03 PM ^
Thank you for that!
December 10th, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
I wanted to make it to the game, but I work near LAX and don't know if I can make it out to SB by 8. Go Blue, though.
December 10th, 2010 at 4:31 PM ^
Santa Monica in the house?
December 10th, 2010 at 4:47 PM ^
If he is near LAX, I would have guessed El Segund, Marina Del Rey or Hawthorne.
December 10th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
Compton, bitches.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
Michigan has the best fans in the world.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
I've been contemplating whether to make the drive up from North County San Diego, but that's quite the haul and I'll need to find overnight accomodations... which I'd totally do. However, that's a 3 hour drive without Friday rush hour traffic. Not so sure I can handle that.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
You know you are going to hit traffic in Oceanside and probably again anywhere between Mission Viejo and Long Beach. Then we have LA which is another mess to deal with. So Cal driving really sucks.

December 10th, 2010 at 4:48 PM ^
My man.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
Who is broadcasting? BT Network or ESPN Ocho?
December 10th, 2010 at 3:11 PM ^
I thought I saw ESPNU
December 10th, 2010 at 3:17 PM ^
...ESPN3 -- hurrah!
December 10th, 2010 at 3:19 PM ^
Ok thanks for the info
December 10th, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
It'll be on ESPNDeuce... Or ESPN2... whichever your prefer.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
ESPN2
December 10th, 2010 at 3:24 PM ^
Not sure if I can make the game tonight though because of work... Hopefully they can get to the final on Sunday, I can make that one. Go Blue!
December 10th, 2010 at 3:28 PM ^
Go to Freebirds. Good food especially when you are drunk.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:35 PM ^
Yes, this is one of the best drunk food places ever (Its open 24 hours). I did happen to have some sober on Tuesday, it was still good.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
It can feel pricey when you are sober since I think I paid around $10-12 for my meal last time. But when I was drunk I think I paid close to $25 which I had no problem doing.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
I'll be stuck in A2 but glued to the TV. This team has been fun to watch all year... Go Blue!
December 10th, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
Decided to not ditch work and drive 350 miles down to SB from the bay area. Ill be cheering loud as hell, cocktail in hand in my living room watching on ESPN2.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:54 PM ^
Going to be a huge game!
TDS put up some videos of their press conference last night: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer/college-soccer-archives/nid-19420/Confidence-excitement-before-College-Cup
Soony Saad for the win!
p.s. I don't care how much Freebirds costs, worth it every time
December 10th, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
Already nervous about the traffic and hoping I can get out of here soon.
