Anyone going to the CU game tomorrow just beware that it is also the "Shamrock shuffle" on Oldworld 3rd and Water st.
So not only will there be lots of blue and gold for the senior day WIN!!!
But a few thousand coeds in green throwing up green Miller lite in the bushes. Just a heads up.
I came up for the Creighton game last year and it was the same deal. After the game every downtown bar had a line 20 deep waiting to get in. Had to find another part of town to celebrate in.
.. Which also means parking will be a nightmare ..
Does that mean it's a good day to bring the bagpipes?

On the plus side, it can't get much worse than last weekend in Chicago. That was brutal.
Do they still run the shuttles from campus down to the BC? I haven't taken that in a few years, but that could be a decent option to avoid having to park downtown. Does anyone else offer a shuttle for MU games?

For future reference on Wintrust, park in the garages on the south side of wintrust. We were one of a few dozen or so that did n ez skyway access directly into arena. Additionally parking gates were open on the way out, unfortunately i prepaid inside, $23.

Better to wait until the next morning. Nothing better when you are massively hung over than the sweet, sweet sound of bagpipe "music".

Uber baby. Open the gates of the Hilltopper Mansion and let someone else drive you there and back. Usually matches parking costs. Of course UberBlack for you but you've got that 'Scoop money.

Nope--that was over. Otherwise parking would have been worse.
There was a big dental conference in McCormack Place, and Louis Farrakahn's annual rally taking place at the same time.

First 5000 people in the door get a T-shirt. Unfortunately, it has the MU logo on it and not a picture of AR tapping his wrist.

Now that would be a shirt worth having. Especially if the picture was from the game in Madison this year.

One more note. They are doing a ton of construction starting tonight on the marquette interchange so a few north bound exits will be closed.
As will southbound exits (11th and wisconsin from campus) and a few more will be closed.

Not to mention it's a good thing no one could ever pick out your car in an effort to identify said spot.

That's not true. Look for the '78 Ford F-250 with a 10" lift kit and naked girl mudflaps.

So coming from Racine to campus, I can get off at 10th St still, but I'll have to get back on by going down 6th past the Harley museum?
Driving up twice a week this summer for grad school is going to be a pain.

I don't often drive the Benz to games, though. The secret parking spot is a little dicey.
.. How about that gigapixel photo today? Anyone else take off their shirt?

Full moon. Glad I made it despite the auto show traffic.
