GAMEDAY

[HawkeyeShane]

I will be up early, tailgating with friends at the lake (more than likely) and fixing up the season's first batch of cheese steaks and ABTs while downing Cheladas before switching to Prole Light after 11am...then I'm going to en1's place and watching him pork his wife...if I'm not too drunk...

Edit: If I AM too drunk to watch en1 lay the wood to the Mrs. I'll more than likely call Jon and Jim and complain about play calling or the D-line and whatnot, while waiting til Z starts talking before I start talking, then stopping when he stops and restarting when he tries to restart so I fit in with the other callers...

Sounds reasonable.

We will be at Soldier Field enjoying the game, then spending the rest of the weekend in Chicago.

I'm only in town Friday morning through Sunday late afternoon, so my objectives are few.
You know I hail from the Chicago-area, right Bob? I mean, I ain't really a "tourist" when I go to illannoy.

Didn't know you hailed from that area, so did I! Hence my mention of The Berghoff, where we could drink even when we were in high school.

We'd go into the city Thanksgiving weekend, blow some weed in the Grant Park underground, shop/girl-watch, then go to Berghoff for lunch, beers and, on occasion, some of their handcrafted whiskeys.

Fine stuff.

 

[hawkeyebob62]

Huh. I will be rather near you (Sec 101).
How do you intend to drink bourbon during the game? You gonna crotch a flask?

Is there any other way? Other than a bota round the neck under a sweatshirt, of course.

Heck, we didn't even have to hide botas my freshman year ('83).

DOWNERS GROVE REPRESENT!

GENEVA boy here!

 

[Scorpio79]

GENEVA boy here!

Ah yes, Geneva, hard along the banks of the fetid Fox.
Lil' sis to St. Charles. Batavia's more sophisticated twin.

I knew a giant tool from Batavia.

The county seat of Kane County, dontcha know!

Batavia is a schithole. Biker bars and illannoy rednecks.
I hope it has changed since my last visit, in 1998.

I know it well, Bob!

It probably hasn't. The again if, like Geneva it has expanded westward beyond Randall Road, it has become Tri-City Gentrified.

 

[JDRochholz]

I'll be watching it alone as I am the only TRUE Hawkeye fan around that I know personally.....all Fusker fans around here(Council Bluffs)

 

[djwoody98]

I'll be in one of the endzones hoping to forget the last time I watched Iowa in Chitown I was watching Jake C. C'mon JV!

 

[DBorwig316]

I'll be at Soldier. Gameday can't get here soon enough.

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

I'll be at Soldier Field....if I don't get murdered while walking there from a condo on Dearborn.

Is anyone going to any ypregame festivities? The Hawkeye Huddle on Navy Pier Friday night?

Although it wasn't a pretty win, I'll always remember that day.. especially because it's the day Michigan lost to App State..

In their defense....the entire team was high.
