Who is saddling up Thursday in Des Moines?

How many are planning on making the trip to Iowa? My wife and I bought tickets because the location is in our backyard "so to speak". Hope to see a sea of Maize! Go Blue from Section 312!!

As tempting as it is to go sit around a bunch of Sparties for the fourth time this season, and this time in Des Moines, Iowa, I think I'm gonna sit this one out

Well the other factor is that I came back to school early for spring break just to go to East Lansing for the second game, and then I left school early on Friday to go to Chicago for the weekend. So at this point, I feel like I'm both a bad luck charm and would be better served to watch the Thursday game in Ann Arbor than try to find a way to Iowa

This is a discouraging thread.

I can't go due to work/family reasons, by why the hell do people care if Michigan State fans are there?  The two teams don't have anything to do with each other for the next two weeks.

I just assumed Saturday's games will be one session, meaning I would be forced to watch the Spartans play and also sit amongst their masses.   If it is one session, I don't want to see Nick Ward play.   And I don't want to interact with Sparty Nation.   I'll still go, but it will make the experience much less pleasurable.

One of the great benefits of retiring early last year is having the time and the $$$ to follow Michigan teams out of state.  My wife and I will be in Des Moines cheering loudly for the maize and blue.  She was quite surprised in Wichita last year when Jordan Poole's buzzer beater caused such an instantaneous adrenaline rush that I lifted her over my head and spun around in a circle like we were figure skaters!
