Well I am here. I am at the Courtyard in St Charles, IL. in my hotel room. I left this morning at 3:30am and I just got here to the hotel about 15 min ago. Took me almost 9 hours, like I said in previous posts. Still have about 20 miles to Dekalb. The Falcon bus left 6 hours after me, which means they may not get out here until 6:00, bad planning!!!!! He need all the tailgaters we can get. Well I am off to the game and hopefully there will be plenty of Orange and Brown already there!!!! GO FALCONS....

If it took me 9 hours to get here leaving at the crack of dawn, I can only imagine how long it will take me tomorrow in rush hour.

That, and they plan on going to the CFHOF. Why didn't they leave on Thursday?

Falcon football team left at 9am yesterday morning. I went by the stadium and wished them luck. They should have been out there late last night. Now the Falcon club, they left this morning. Not sure when both buses are coming back though. Well I am off to tailgaiting. Cant wait to fix the brauts.

I think he meant the Falcon Club bus. I thought the same thing, but I'm sure the team slept in Illinois last night, at least.

I'm totally confused now. Jokes about how easy that is to do aside, I thought it had been observed the team was still in town as of this morning. I didn't think it sounded right myself, but folks say they saw players at the practice field.

Now I can believe the Falcon Club bus might be late, but thats another story. I just hope it doesn't wind up being like a trip a few years ago. The driver had gotten up at 4 a.m., driven to BG, down to Miami, back up to BG, and at near mid-night, was going to try to drive back to Cleveland. He was so close to fallign asleep we were driving at 45 mph up I-75. I and another had to ride shootgun and keep him awake.

Then there was the greyhound bus they chartered in addition to the Lakefront, for a trip to the Gund. The Greyhound was late, then broke down just after entering I-75 at BG. We crammed everybody onto the Lakefront, a state Trooper blocked southbound traffic, and let us use the turnaround rather than make us go all the way up to 582.

Go Falcons, beat the Huskies

That is insane! We left at 11:30, stopped once, and still made it there around 5-5:30 their time. We only had a minor traffic delay but we never completely stopped for a few. The construction is horrible in Ill. though. I am honestly suprised it didn't take us longer.

yeah at one point we got on a detour from 80 it took us to 90, that was backed up so we got on another detour guess where they took us... yep right back to 80!!!
