UPDATE: Broeker just emailed us back .. the team should be at the Al between ...
UPDATE2: Plane hasn't left yet. 2.5 hours + 5:30 is about 8pm.
Update 3: Marquette tweeted: Team bus expected to return to the Al at approximately 8:15 p.m. Fans encouraged to welcome champs back to campus.
BE THERE TO GREET THE BIG EAST CHAMPS!
If you tweet Broeker he would probably give you a time frame.
I'm in!
Maybe they'll stop at the Empire Room for dinner and cocktails.
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.
I'm down.
Topper can be in charge of trackin' their flight. He's computer savvy and such.
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?
Totally in.
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.
I stand erected, maybe.
Would love if someone could post a video. I'm out of town.
Celebration videos are all over facebook if you are on that.

Whose page?
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
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!

Spring break?
There will be at least two Little Gooses's there!
BIG EAST CHAMPS!
somebody swing by Dick's and pick up a new net for the guym at the AL.
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.
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.
I'll have video.
Thanks much Hilltopper.
We'll have a better time estimate. JMac said he'd tweet when the plane is wheels up.
Jmac says .. Plane should arrive at 7:25pm. Unload, load the bus .. drive to Al.
Team should arrive right around 8pm.

Spring break?
Yup. Began on Friday. Dorms closed today at 11:00 AM. Almost everyone is out of campus.
Is this like an email campaign?
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 ..
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
Wish I could drive up from Chicago - give 'em a big Scoop welcome home, well done!
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
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 just tweeted this:
#mubb team bus expected to return to the Al at approximately 8:15 p.m. Fans encouraged to welcome champs back to campus.

Thanks - I'll be there quarter to 8
I'll have on a blue/white winter jacket, blue baseball hat with a Warrior on it if Scoopers want to meet up.
8,000 emails going out now. Hope the interwebs can handle it.
Wife and I will be there, see you at the Al
I'm sporting the yellow/blue plaid sport jacket and tigers hat.

8:00 and about 20 of us here
30!
40!
Wow, would have thought more with the Al being right on campus for the students to attend.
Again...the students are on spring break.
Students are not on campus.
Up to 50.
If you are 15 minutes away you drill have time. Just left airport
What other scoopers are here?
Here with wife
JAG is here jumping!

NICE!!! Love that guy. He probably hopped all the way to the Al
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
Videos are uploading.
Wanted to go down there but just got back from being out of town. Amazing to see them win this. So proud of this team.
