If you tweet Broeker he would probably give you a time frame.

JD · « **Reply #2 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:49:46 PM »

I'm in!

4everwarriors · « **Reply #3 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:49:59 PM »

Maybe they'll stop at the Empire Room for dinner and cocktails.

Goose · « **Reply #4 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:50:15 PM »

For what they achieved they deserve it. Shock the hell out of me for last ten games. Remarkable job by Buzz and the fella's.

wadesworld · « **Reply #5 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:51:22 PM »

I'm down.

Topper can be in charge of trackin' their flight. He's computer savvy and such.

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:53:50 PM »

I tweeted Broker for a timeframe. We'll see if he responds. I'm guessing he's a tad busy at the moment!

Bet this is them.

Doubt it. Too early, plus that's a Delta flight. Maybe keefe can lend his expertise?

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:57:41 PM »

Totally in.

TallTitan34 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2013, 03:58:08 PM »

Charter flight.

Is there an official celebration at/inside the Al tonight?

Charter flight.

Exactly. Delta doesn't normally fly between Newark and Mil-town nonstop. It was scheduled before we went to OT.

4everwarriors · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:02:38 PM »

I stand erected, maybe.

BM1090 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:07:52 PM »

Would love if someone could post a video. I'm out of town.

I should specify it is video of people celebrating watching on tv. Not the team.

I should have clarified. I'd love if someone that goes to the AL to congratulate the team would post a video of them arriving/celebrating

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #23 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:20:04 PM »

Updated: Broeker says the bus should be there 7-7:30pm at the AL.

The students are gone, so we need a good showing from SCOOP!

somebody swing by Dick's and pick up a new net for the guym at the AL.

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #28 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:50:10 PM »

I'd like to get a closer time-frame .. any ideas if the team is at the airport yet?

I mean .. Unless they are closing the aircraft now, there's no way they are at the Al at 7pm.

Eye · « **Reply #29 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:59:07 PM »

Any shot this'll be streamed? I'm in La Crosse. Can't get there that fast.

Or if not, video after the fact would be fantastic.

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #30 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:59:23 PM »

I'll have video.

Eye · « **Reply #31 on:** March 09, 2013, 05:11:42 PM »

Thanks much Hilltopper.

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #32 on:** March 09, 2013, 05:14:39 PM »

We'll have a better time estimate. JMac said he'd tweet when the plane is wheels up.

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #33 on:** March 09, 2013, 05:44:23 PM »

Jmac says .. Plane should arrive at 7:25pm. Unload, load the bus .. drive to Al.

Team should arrive right around 8pm.

Yup. Began on Friday. Dorms closed today at 11:00 AM. Almost everyone is out of campus.

Blackhat · « **Reply #35 on:** March 09, 2013, 05:48:40 PM »

Is this like an email campaign?

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #36 on:** March 09, 2013, 05:54:08 PM »

Yeah .. trying to get Scoop to email a message to its 8000 members to meet the team. If we could get 2% of that to show up ..

Blackhat · « **Reply #37 on:** March 09, 2013, 06:06:56 PM »

Wish I could make it. If you're in milw u need to get off your bum and get down there!

I'll be there

Lennys Tap · « **Reply #39 on:** March 09, 2013, 06:10:31 PM »

Wish I could drive up from Chicago - give 'em a big Scoop welcome home, well done!

Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown · « **Reply #40 on:** March 09, 2013, 07:01:16 PM »

If this really is the flight, looks like they touch down at 7:54.... thatd put them at the Al by 845 probably?

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL8955/history/20130309/2230Z/KEWR/KMKE

I do not know this... just asking? If nobody knows I'll just get there early to be safe

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #41 on:** March 09, 2013, 07:09:25 PM »

Well .. either that's their flight, or it's just not listed.

JMac said they left around 5:45 (CST) ..he said it was "100 minutes" but it's more like a 2hr+30 min flight .. that lands them at 8:00 .. pretty close to that flight tracker.

8:30 at the Al, then?

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #42 on:** March 09, 2013, 07:10:02 PM »

MU just tweeted this:

I'll have on a blue/white winter jacket, blue baseball hat with a Warrior on it if Scoopers want to meet up.

Not too much action but the jump around guy (sorry, I don't know his name) was going bonkers! It was great! Here is the best pic I got with Junior and the trophy.

Good time tonight seeing the other MU faithful. So cool to watch them win, hoist the trophy on TV then see them cart it past us on campus a few hours later. Hope the team gets some great rest in before Thursday
