The answer is Northwestern State. Early in the year, 11:00am start, likely to be decent weather, small crowd, cheap tickets and non-suspenseful game. Biggest tip is to acknowledge that you are doing this for you, not your child since he won't remember it. Not saying that to be negative, I did...

Good luck! As someone who finds himself in that area a few times a year I'd appreciate it if you would report back on your experience. Always nice to know your options.

It seems to me that in the old days they would some times talk about that information on the telecasts. "The Side Judge today, Joe Brogan, is a corrections officer for the State of Florida. Wonder how many of these Georgia Bulldogs will be seeing him again someday." Now that it's become a...

Tough choice. Pay good money to see the decrepit shell of a former legend 35 years past primary relevance or go to US Bank Stadium to see Paul McCartney.

You mean like Navy?

This isn't correct. The state (or county), not the victim, brings a criminal action. That's why criminal cases are captioned "State of Minnesota vs. Accused Person." I don't know why there are no criminal charges here, but there are circumstances where the victim of an alleged sexual assault...

After he was fired here he did some TV work. He was the sideline reporter for Fox (or an affiliated network) on a crew with Gus Johnson on play-by-play and Charles Davis as the color analyst. I don't remember much about it other than Gus saying "now let's throw it down to Coach Brew!"

Here's the relevant quote from the article: Barnett will matriculate at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business next year. He’s not quite ready to abandon volleyball, however. He wants to join the men’s club team at the school and hopes to land a supporting role in the women’s...

A guy from Harvard will tell you he went to Harvard. A graduate of Penn will tell you he went to Penn. A guy from Cornell will tell you he went to "an Ivy League school."

Wasn't there myself and this is all anecdotal, but in speaking to a couple of people who attended the graduation, they thought that the shooter and the younger victim were engaged in a dispute of some kind and were not participants in or attendees at the graduation. Ceremony was over and most...

I'll be surprised if you can't find tickets for less than $20 if you wait until a day before the game. I took the trip the last time the Gophers were there and had a blast. Stayed in San Francisco and took the BART out to Berkeley for the game. Have fun!

Just wanted to share that when I first read your post on my phone it appeared like this (without the accompanying photo). Thanks for the unintentional chuckle.

My big trip this year will be Oregon. 75% chance I will make it to Wrigley and 10% chance I make it to Iowa.

Wait until you see the price for game tickets on the secondary market!

Every once in a while the network would pressure them to air the Tonight Show right after the local news and there would be protestors at the station. You could hear them when the weather guy was in the Backyard doing the forecast.
