Michigan would charter a flight to Marquette for its last few visits to NMU. Thought they took a bus to the Soo though. I am sure they will fly this weekend.

Michigan State chartered to Houghton last fall. Their usual cutoff was 6 hours so they would fly to Marquette, but bus to Miami Ohio since that only took 5 1/2.

From my personal archives - here's the program from the last time Michigan played in Houghton. Be sure to look for Mel on the front page (with the headset on) and of course the infamous Cooperalls.

Why? The team should be forced to drive 10 hours when they can fly? That just seems silly. The drive to Lake State was short enough to drive, but Northern was long enough to fly.

Tech is farther than that, thus they fly.

You hate the team regardless of how they get up there. I'm sure they don't care at all what you think about flying vs. driving.

As long as they don't do what the Badgers do. They fly up and have a bus drive up from Madison.

I'd bet the odds are very high that there's a truck full of stuff if not a bus that will come up from Ann Arbor.

It's one thing to take a day out of the life of a person who is paid to drive vs doing the same thing for students. I'd fully expect your team fo fly the team and truck the stuff, too- it just makes sense. That way you have a small and economical plane to transport the people, and a truck for the equipment.

Would be great if there was a Halloween blizzard (yes, I know they don't travel on Friday) and their plane got diverted to Minneapolis (after circling CMX for several hours of course). That way they could get 5-6 hours in the plane AND 8 hours on the bus. Best of both worlds and everyone is happy.

I landed at CMX in a really bad storm back in 1990. Couldn't drive to my grandma's house in Tapiola even. Still got the plane down.

Still- why do you want to see Michigan struggle to get there? Do you think our team is so good that you need some kind of travel advantage? I was under the impression that you guys were good this year- apparently you don't seem to think so.

Really! Silly stuff to be arguing about. Who cares how they get here. If their budget allows it...so be it. Let's just play the games.

Re: Michigan @ MTU 10/31-11/1: Mel, Red & Stanley - A threesome 30+ years in the mak

we are just pulling their cake eater chain because they have refused to come up here for the last 30+ years. and we have an unofficial policy of not actually talking hockey until Thursday. so we fill the threads with senseless chatter. dont take it personally.

I don't care. Just wondering why you think you need some kind of artificial advantage.

We just want your endowment that's all. It's cash envy. We can't afford those flying tubes for an in state game...
