Schedule

[Nukem2]

Well played.   Personal nit.  I've never understood the obsession with a true round robin schedule.

nor have I

[real chili 83]

I'm gonna guess that ND is too chicken sh1t to play us....again.

Crean sucks

[BossplayaOtto]

As a season ticket holder I certainly get excited for the conference schedule reveal. Anxious to see which dates and times the games are on to start planning for gamedays.

[KampusFoods]

I look forward to the schedule for the away games. The gang and I try to get to one every year. Last year was Butler. Thinking Creighton or Xavier this year, but will depend on the schedule. Haven't yet ruled out Athens, GA. Luckily the masters ain't that weekend eh?

[bradley center bat]

I always look forward to the schedule as a season-ticket holder. Want to know dates to see how it fills in with other sporting events in Milwaukee.

This exactly. Have tried to do at least 1 road trip since graduation.

2009 - Louisville
2010 - Cincinnati
2011 - Pitt & Notre Dame
2012 - Providence
2013 - St Johns (for the BEAST title)
2014 - Butler
2015 - Didn't Happen
2016 - Xavier

2017 will either be Georgia or a TBD Saturday game. I wish Georgia would announce the time of that damn game.

A couple buddies and I tried to do this after graduating but haven't really kept up, so the "road trip" usually becomes Depaul.  It doesn't help that TAMU lives in Texas now and everyone keeps getting hitched to sports-indifferent women.

Hey, the future Mrs. TAMU watches every game with me. Maybe one day she'll even pay attention!

Very much in the same boat - off the top of my head since '96, not an every year thing, live 3 hours northwest of Milwaukee, so sometimes limited to only trip or trips to Mke in a given year
96 - Louisville (one of best friends a UL fan)
98 - Louisville
99 - Louisville
00 - Louisville
01 - CUSA tourney in Louisville
02 - Louisville
03 - CUSA tourney in Louisville
04 - Louisville
05 - CUSA tourney in Memphis
(buddy's kids born in '06 and '07)
08 - Louisville
10 - West Virginia
11 - Tourney at KC with Duke, Gonzaga and K St
13 - Louisville
15 - Ohio State
17 - NYC in November

Most of the years without an MU road trip were filled with a big UL road trip against someone like UK, or in more recent years since they joined the ACC, Carolina and Duke.

[frozena pizza]

Same here and I look forward to it every year.  My son is 4 now and I'm hoping to bring him to his first game this year if the schedule lines up right.

Too lazy to list the exact years but I have some painful memories.  Off the top of my head:

Louisville (Jerry Smith buzzer beater)
Syracuse (lost in OT)
Notre Dame (lost in OT, my bachelor party)
Providence (bat game)
Ohio State (got crushed)
Iowa (got crushed)

Could be worse, he could be marrying an avid sports fan that cheers for the wrong teams

[ecompt]

We come from Erie for at least a game or two every year. Most painful was the loss to Louisville about six-seven years ago when after a 9-hour ride we saw Jerry Freaking Smith drain a 3-pointer at the buzzer after we led by six by 3 minutes to go. We have been to Pitt (bad loss), West Virginia (closer loss), Villanova (win), Georgetown (win), Providence (loss) and several trips to NYC for St. John's games.

I just don't get you sometimes, man.

[vogue65]

I'm gonna guess that ND is too chicken sh1t to play us....again.

I respectfully disagree, it is probably still about the money.  ND thinks they are a big draw and bully opponents into giving them big bucks for the "privilege" of playing them. 

They are not our aspirational or our peer university, they are simply our competition on many fronts.   I don't know what is going on today, but in the past MU did not respond well to velvet gloved extortion.

Perhaps that is too strong, oh well, time to dial it back.

So they are a buy game, hey?

Nah.

They're chickencrap.

Nice work Eye! That is a fantastic resume of road games.

Thanks We R. Helps that have lots of friends in Kentucky and sister lives in Ohio, so free lodging for a lot of these trips. That road trip to Louisville from Western Wisconsin not as bad as used to seem, goes by pretty fast now, except for the year a couple years back after a UL - NC game where got stuck in a blizzard in Central Illinois and had to listen to the Super Bowl in buddy's car because power went out at hotel, then had to sleep in the lobby at the hotel because they were out of rooms.

But at least #noredforowen brother.

Sorry, I hadn't seen that young skywalker beat me to the punch.  Well played Chitown.

[Benny B]

Ah hell... Nova on a Tuesday night.  Really hoping for a Saturday game there.  Oh well.
