I'm driving 10 hours for the Kansas State game... What is your excuse?

[State2015]

I wasn’t able to go to that game either, so I bought 10 tix and donated them to Big Brothers/Sisters of Ames. They were stunned and appreciative when I called them. I feel like the karma helped .

Do you know if they’re still interested in something like this? I would absolutely love to do that for this game

No idea, it was 2011. I also donated Cinci tickets this year to VetTix through a promotion that ISU had.

Yup - going to have somewhere between a 3 and 5 day old - I don't think my wife would appreciate me leaving her. Congratulations!

You too brother!

You need to do a much better job of not having kids during football season. Look at the calendar next time before you plow the Mrs.

And Best of luck to you and your wife on the upcoming birth... hope it goes well.

Celebrated the Big 12 basketball Championship a little too hard…

I feel shamed for only driving like 7.5-8 hours for it. I'll maybe consider taking a scenic route...

It's 718 miles from Ames to home for me soooo gonna be another long Sunday drive.

Please. See that you do.

Unfortunately, my in-laws will be here in Colorado. I did, however, donate four tickets so others could go.

My MIL is in Colorado too. How about I swing by Saturday morning and pick you up and we make it happen?

 

[Colorado]

My list of excuses is long: it's a 700+ mile drive, airline tickets would be $800-ish, I have no place to stay after the game, I have family in town for Thanksgiving, I would have to go by myself, I already went to the KU game this year (and look how that turned out), my wife went to K State, and on and on...

But I'm now trying to find a way to make it work

You might have better luck playing pick up sticks with your butt cheeks than getting to JTS for the game, but I love that you're trying to make it work!

Got tickets. Let's do this. Need to buy a pack of hand warmers lol

 

[BCClone]

I haven't either. But this one is a "couples" baby shower. The men will be drinking keg beer watching the game. The women will be opening gifts and saying "awwww how cute" way too much.

As long as one guy doesn’t sit with his wife, then you ALL will have to.

Oh man. That is super tempting. Are you serious?

 

[Cyched]

Oh man. That is super tempting. Are you serious?

Is this all a plot to disappear your MILs?

 

[BCClone]

Not sure if he is suggesting to take you to the game or hook you up with his mother in law.

 

[cytor]

I have never been to a baby shower. Do men go to them?

I thought babies took baths.

 

[CysLoveChild]

@Colorado and @ruxCYtable
I think you two are destined to do this. You both joined CycloneFanatic on the same day (August 29), but 1 year apart.

I thought this game was on Friday, and my fiancé scheduled pregnancy photos for Saturday. I'm just lucky it's a nice game so I won't miss that. I know I'm an idiot, but I haven't been to a game this season, so I probably shouldn't rock the boat on this one.
