Bought tickets tonight. I'll be there with my fiancé. Anyone else going to make it?
Will be in Omaha on business that day, trying to make the game a part of my trip.

Take a client along and put the costs on your expense account.

Still involved with Godfather's Pizza, post-life?
Anyone going to Omaha should check out the restaurant "Gather" was fantastic food that imo could hold its own in much bigger cities and had a massive hydroponic farm in the basement where they get almost all their greens from.
Will be there from KC for our annual trip. Grudge Game. My wife is a Creighton Grad. Got tickets yesterday from Tickets for Less because the tickets that CU assigned to MU were terrible. Will be going to the pre-game reception.
Amtrak Saturday A.M. Milwaukee-Chicago-Omaha. Sunday 2 casinos across the river in Council Bluffs. Monday barhop around the Old Market neighborhood in downtown Omaha. Tuesday game and game prep and celebrate win in hostile environment. Wednesday fly back to Milwaukeee and work on hangover.

FYI. Registration says it's closed but email Kim. That's her deadline for a number for the hotel/venue contract but she usually has leeway to add a few.

It's been my experience that they get a lot of walkups for these types of events. Drives the advancement folks crazy.

Yep. But she has to order the food and drink, and the final number via the contract is due 2-3 business days typically is the reason and the cost is per person plus or minus a percent. Treat Kim nice and she'll work her magic.
I know at the DePaul outing, they took no walk-ups as they were at the ballroom limit.
Kim is awesome. She bailed us out in Charleston last season. (No not that kind of bail).

This sounds like a ton of fun. I'm jealous! Enjoy yourself, and don't come home unless you're bringing a W with you!!
I do have off Tuesday and Wednesday...

No offense, but you don't go to Omaha for the vegetables.

Starting from where? Just curious. My wife and I have a fairly easy ride starting in Charlottesville.

Of course people do. Tourists fall off the turnip truck every day there.
Just checked out the menu...it looks great. Plenty of meat and best of all plenty of good bourbon and scotch.

If you end up going and want to experiment with a whiskey try Slane, retails cheap, flavors on point and super smooth. That and roe n co are my go to budget whiskeys
Hopefully nobody takes any of McDermott's players off the plantation.
My trip to Omaha got postponed . Bad weather in the region .
Aargh.....
Was just in Omaha for work last week. A shame it wasn't a week later.
If anyone is in the mood for Cajun food, I had a great meal at Herbe Sainte. Nice little place. Amazing gumbo.

Didn't know paranormals struggled with bad weather.
Are there any watch parties here in Milwaukee? Goolsbys not open Mon-Wed unfortunately. Any other MU bars showing game?
