Anyone doing this for the game and if so how are you guys going about it? I really would like to do this because I dont feel like driving 7 hrs to Madison.

Go to Amtrak's Web site and see for yourself, but I don't think you'll like the options from Toledo to Madison. Price is OK ( about $112 r/t), but your busing it from Chitown to Madison and leaving from Toledo veeeeerrrrry early.[/url]

Get a ride with some other BG students! If we have room in my carpool I'd be glad to hook you up!

Those time are not so bad. I use the train a lot to visit my future wife in Normal, Illinois where she is in grad school. You can sleep on the train, you aren't crowded at all, and it's a nice ride. I don't know about the bus. That may make me think about other options.

Sober and not high and still agreed...I'd hate to see her when she is high and not sober!

See Matt? I'm not the only one....

Marriage is a three-ring circus:
Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.

Why were hurricanes usually named after women?
Because when they arrive, they're wet and wild, but when they go, they take your house and car.

90% of men kiss their wife goodbye when they leave the house.
10% kiss their house goodbye when they leave the wife.

First guy (proudly): "My wife's an angel"
Second guy: "You're lucky, mine's still alive."

Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; and then it was too late."

Love may be blind, but marriage Is a real eye-opener!

I must admit, you brought religion in my life.
I never believed in Hell until I met you.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Q: What are a married man's two greatest assets?
A: A closed mouth and an open wallet.

The grief-stricken man threw himself across the grave and cried bitterly. "My life, how senseless it is! How worthless is everything about me because you are gone. If only you hadn't died, if only fate had not been so cruel as to take you from this world, how different everything would have been."

A clergyman happened by and to soothe the man he offered a prayer. Afterward he said, "I assume the person lying beneath this mound of earth was someone of great importance to you."

"Importance? Indeed it was," moaned the man. "It's my wife's first husband!"

FWIW;,
Latest airfares from Cleveland to Madison (via Continental) are around $325 or so, round trip.... would make it more expensive for me and Joyce than the GMAC Bowl trip...have to look at driving...since my son and friends are supposed to come in to game from Colo. (one friend is a Wisky grad), I don't want to miss this one, if at all possible.

After explaining to my wife that we probably won't have a home game until October, I convinced her that I need to make the trip to Madison. She agreed that it would be ok. I may be looking to hitch a ride with someone 8)

Mrs. Freak and I looked into the possibility of going to Madison but the airfare is gonna be too much. After having to miss the GMAC Bowl, I will make sure THAT does not happen again. I've used 6 1/2 vacation days for our Florida trip last month and have 8 1/2 days left.
Plenty of days for the UT game, MACC and Bowl.

Must sacrifice the Wisky game.

Don't forget about the Amtrak Hiawatha that runs between Chicago and Milwaukee.
Bus or rent a car in Milwaukee to get to Madison.

Being the cheap guy that I am, I'm driving with 4 other buddies of mine. 7 hours in a car with 5 guys, should be a blast,
