Works for me. Just post on here tomorrow and let me know. Also, let me know whether you want to have someone pick them up or leave them at "will call" (and what name to give at the will call gate). No go for the Macomb Band. They didn't think they could get enough kids interested in going...

A 1:00pm kickoff allows those driving in on game day to drive back home at a reasonable hour. My parents...

A lot of solid ideas here! I certainly do not understand all the reasons for the sharp off in attendance during the last 5-7 years. Back in 1969 when I went through "freshman orientation" we were told our attendance at the football games was "expected." Of course, the team was ex...
