Sweden Annexes Fort Wayne
... or at least it will appear that way, because yes, the giant Swedish flag will be making the trip. (In case you have forgotten http://mgoblog.com/content/demon-bear-exorcised-mostly).
The great Rob Eckert (bearer of the flag) and I will be representing Yost section 17, and do our best to make sure Carl knows we love him. Lots.
Who else is going?
I'm trying to figure out if I can make the 18 hour (one way) drive.
I am strongly considering going to one or both (if we beat Bemidji), but that would make for one really long Monday.
Pretty good seats were still available earlier.
Single game or entire session? I checked when I first got to work and didn't see individual games listed, but I'll admit I didn't take a lot of time to search.
Edit: Never mind, I see the single-game tickets now. I must have overlooked them this morning.
Double edit: It looks like you can only buy tickets for both Saturday games. Trying to decide if I want to risk counting on us beating Bemidji and just buying Sunday tickets.
Do we recruit at all in Sweden?
The story Ive heard is Carl's dad played college hockey somewhere around here and made the effort to get Carl into NCAA hockey.
Fort Wayne is my home town so I hope Michigan can put on a show and I hope the people of Fort Wayne are friendly to the Michigan fans.
Is the bikini team going to visit too? I'd drive from SoCal for that.
is a fairly anti-Michigan city from what I know from my 18 years of living there. They are 10 minutes from the Ohio state line and maybe the stank has wafted over at a greater rate but there a re a LOT of Buckeye fans in town. That said, not sure what the response from the fans will be. FW residents tend to be very knowledgable about hockey FWIW.
Buckeye fans don't watch hockey. Not redneck enough
I have two session passes at center ice about 15 rows up. I was just on ticketmaster and thought I'd see what was out there...
For the Michigan game there are some great seats left. On the glass, center ice (both sides), seriously good seats. If your on the fence, jump in.
