We got a game tonight
Just got my tickets for the Northwestern Michigan game tonight. Who else is going?
December 4th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
I will be watching!
December 4th, 2018 at 10:25 AM ^
Does TV count? I'm ~700 miles from Chicago, so the drive would be a bit tiring after work this afternoon.
December 4th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
Fake ass fan...
December 4th, 2018 at 10:27 AM ^
Do we really? Based on the thread a few posts down it appears ESPN only gives the boys a 47% chance of winning so I'm not entirely convinced we'll make the trip and show up.
I mean with only a 47% chance of winning (according to the world wide leader) it hardly appears we have a shot.
Why bother?
December 4th, 2018 at 10:32 AM ^
it's so difficult to win in their stadium especially given that UM has zero fans or alums in Chicago.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
I think we'll win big tonight, but to be fair, the last time we won at Northwestern was in the 2012-2013 season.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:48 AM ^
This team will end that dry spell.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:28 AM ^
I’m going! Looking forward to seeing their new arena.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:36 AM ^
I've heard it's fantastic. Looks totally different.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
It's 106 miles to Chicago.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:42 AM ^
full tank of gas
December 4th, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
Half a pack of cigarettes
December 4th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
It’s dark out.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:55 AM ^
And we're wearing sunglasses.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:04 AM ^
Hit it.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Got three fine, foxy blondes?
December 4th, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Cop wheels, cop brakes
December 4th, 2018 at 10:55 AM ^
Got the cruise control set at 35!
December 4th, 2018 at 10:43 AM ^
9:00 PM away game on a school night. Fuck the NCAA.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:31 AM ^
8:00 PM Central time. Fuck time zones.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:43 AM ^
Yeah? Regardless, it's going to be 11:00 o'clock in Ann Arbor when the game ends.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
That's bullshit for hometown fans. I'm ok with 6PM in CA for me, but starting the game at 9 is ridiculous.
I'm with my MGO Brethren on this one. Don't like Noon EST football games, cuz that's 9AM for me, but I'm with you here.
December 4th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
For me personally, I don't care that the game is late. However, my two sons, ages 7 and 11, both love watching the team, and they can't stay up that late on a school night. Sure, we can DVR the games and watch part over breakfast, but watching the next day just isn't the same (since I already know the score and they know that I know the score). Late games like this during the week make it hard for the younger viewers - i.e. future fans - to watch the games.
December 4th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
Tomorrow is a national day of mourning. Your school hates America.
Tomorrow is a golf day.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:47 AM ^
I will definitely be watching....and losing sleep yet again.
That said, the sacrifice of sleep is worth it.
December 4th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
Tickets were $125 in the nosebleeds* on Sunday night (appears they've dropped to about $95) but I got lucky and my buddy at Kellogg had somebody selling them for $10. Not mad about it.
*Not sure if any seat there qualifies as the nosebleeds, but farther from the court than most of the rest of the seats
December 4th, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
For a Northwestern game?!!
December 4th, 2018 at 11:42 AM ^
Made the dumb mistake of not snagging them while they were around $50 for a nosebleed. Ugh.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
Club blowin' up......on a Tuesday.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Dererk Pardon absolutely killed IU on Saturday with 24 points and 10 rebounds. We need to have an answer for him and I think we will.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:05 PM ^
He’ll be taken care of
December 4th, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
And Northwestern stopped going to him late in the 2nd half when Morgan went out for IU. Made no sense.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Hope my hotel has BTN. Or even better the hotel bar.

Hope to see this same reaction by Northwestern fans tonight after we smother them.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:51 AM ^
I am envious that this overprivileged kid felt pain at the hands of Zaga in '17. I'm sure the north side of Chicagoland produces more like him. And they, too, will feel disappointed tonight.
December 4th, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
How do you know he is over-privileged? Way to stereotype.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:49 AM ^
Actually flying into Chicago for work tonight but tickets are $80 each and I didn't have anyone to go with so will be watching in a bar
December 4th, 2018 at 11:55 AM ^
I definitely need to tone down the caffeine this go around. Last game I did one of those Electric Buzz's from Trader Joe's and thought I was going to stroke-out.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
I live pretty far away. I’m looking for all the Chicago MGoPeeps to do some serious cheering though. Gonna take the wind out of the sails of the Windy City!
December 4th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
I wish I were going, but I'm out of town on a business trip...
(I would totally place-drop, but the Cincinnati suburbs aren't terribly exciting)
December 4th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
NU has been playing real gritty basketball this year. I expect it’ll be a tough environment, but have 100% faith that JB will have his kids ready for the moment.
Would be nice to continue the momentum with a big win on the road. We don’t have a ranked opponent again until 1/19 (Wisconsin).
December 4th, 2018 at 6:40 PM ^
I get up at 2 am. Let me do the math.
Uh no.
Good luck boys, Go Blue!
December 4th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
I will be in Naperville watching from a bar.
