Finally, the Schedule...

[Murffieus]

Best BE schedule we've had yet-----mirror games with ND, SH, UCONN should break 5 & 1 (possible loss at ND). I predict 14 wins & 4 losses.

Tickets are not hard to find for that Georgetown game. I bought 3 through the MU Alumni Association the night before the game last year...and there were plenty available after that.

We just need to give Penn Quarter Sports Tavern the heads up that we will be there post-game...so they dont run out of Miller Lite again.

I'm not too worried about GTown tix either if I do decide to go.  I think there could be a smaller MU contingent out there being a Sunday afternoon game, but hey, it's still very doable for us Midwesterners (fly out Saturday afternoon/back Sunday night).

While I still can't figure out for the life of me who's leg we have to dry hump to get a Saturday afternoon game in NYC at the Garden (I know, we're home this year vs. St. John's), going out there for a long weekend and hopping the PATH train from the World Trade Center to Newark (only 20 minutes away) for the Seton Hall game is a very tempting proposition for me (I can't take a whole week off of work in the winter for the Big East Tourney, at least this year).

Also, the 10AM New Years' Day start is cruel and unusual punishment.  I'll wager about a third of the crowd minimum is still drunk or hungover from NYE festivities.  I made it to 6AM last year on New Years' Eve with a Potowatomi trip for most of the overnight.  Let's see if I can survive thru the game this year.

Now that you mention it, after the Saturday game in 2009 when MU fans were noticeably louder than GU fans in the second half, I wonder if Georgetown had anything to do with this game being on a Sunday

[Mr. Nielsen]

At the Bradley Center on New Year's Day.
Marquette at 10AM
Bucks play at 8PM

[GGGG]

Who's going to go to a Bucks game at 8 PM on NYD???

[Mr. Nielsen]

I'm sure many will, it's a Saturday night.

[GGGG]

Ah...good point.

Murff, I hope you are kidding. 14-4 in the Big East?
If that happens I will drive out to Milwaukee one weekend and we will go to a restaurant of your choice. I think 14-4 is utterly unrealistic unless Otule becomes a 10-point, 8-rebound machine. I'd think an 11-7 record is much more doable.

I completley agree, 14-4 is absolutley unrealistic.  I think 10-8 is doable with or 11-7 is much more realistic.  I like how we end the season, i think we could easially win our last 6 games.

Huggy Bear is a pro. He has no pressue to overdrink New Years Eve.

YES love the Saturday day games. Kegs and Eggs, day drinking. Wish the University would get more Saturday afternoon games to make up for the lack of college football. Kind of wish that the Wisc game was after finals though.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Kind of wish that the Wisc game was after finals though.

Back in the days, the Wisconsin game was on New Year's Eve. The best thing for this game is too have it before finals.

If it's the Saturday after finals, a lot of the students in the res halls have already taken off, so we absolutely want to play Wisconsin when school is in session.

Agreed. I finally sat down and looked at it and I got 20-11, 10-8 in conference. Bubblicious.

And re: Georgetown tickets. They have had 6 sellouts in the last 5 years. And I think one of them was their 100th Anniversary celebration against us in '07. Average attendance is well below the capacity, Verizon Center holds 20,000 for hoops. We got 18 group tickets through MU last time with absolutely no issues.

We just need to give Penn Quarter Sports Tavern the heads up that we will be there post-game...so they dont run out of Miller Lite again.

That was awesome. MU folks lined up down the street to get in. People playing drinking games outside. What a day that was.

Yeah good seats can be hard to come by, but it should be easy to get 400 level seats.
