I received the following information so thought I would post it for anyone that is interested. This trip is open to all Cyclone fans...you don't have to be a Gridiron Club member. If you sign up, please consider voting to stay to watch the 8th ranked ISU women's volleyball team take on the Tigers immediately following the football game at 5:00.

Oh, and admission to the volleyball match is free.

[yler4cy]

Wow that is a great deal. Good Luck.

[ajk4st8]

This deal still available?

[alarson]

im thinking me and one or two friends might take advantage of this, at least the ride down.

[justgetcy]

Sounds pretty awesome and thansgiving break starts friday so I might consider it...i got no where to be lol

[ornryactor]

I definitely think a friend and I will be doing this instead of driving. I don't have anybody to stay with in Columbia, and 10 hours of driving plus 7 hours of sporting events might be more than I should put on myself, especially since I'm going up to Cedar Falls on Friday night to watch the 4A football championship. Sleeping on the bus, it is!

Anybody know where the tickets through this package will be for the FB game?

[yCy]

The Gridiron Club has put together a very nice deal. It's nice that they've included the volleyball game, too. Sounds like a fun time. Thanks for posting the details.

[Melvin]

Sounds like a good deal.

[CyFanz]

The bus trip is still available. In fact at this point, more people are needed to make it "a go". If you are even remotely thinking about it, please email Mike Lacey at mflacey@hughes.net to let him know. Mike will gladly answer any questions you have. On a selfish note, if you decide to go please vote to stay down for the volleyball game as well. If we're on a bus for 10 hours roundtrip (partying), what's another 90 minutes or so to watch our women demolish the Tigers. Plus the arena will be warm and have nice restrooms. By the way, projected high in Columbia is 54 and partly cloudy. Let's go make our voices heard and come back with a 7th win!
