    Don't know just yet. I'm going to post a final who's really going note and get a set head count. By my records, I have 2 extra tickets and if we have no other takers, I'm going to try and get my Dad down for the game. That would have me coming in on Saturday should that scenario take place.

    But if Gippers buying, then I'll be there.

    My current plan is to drive there on Friday, which would have me in town Friday night. It's about a 10-hour drive. I haven't made room reservations yet. Is everyone staying at the Drury Inn?

    Just got back in town and literally have only a couple of minutes as I have a problem with my truck, battery just went dean for no reason, and are due at my sister-in-laws house in a few minutes. To make that complete I'm filthy dirty from a week camping and working on the $~!@~# truck.

    But Gipper, we will be in town staying at my sisters house from about Monday or Tuesday on. I've assumed some folks will be getting together Friday night.

    I'll be getting into town late Fri. afternoon. I'm staying at the Marriott near the Plaza. This fufills my promise to my wife that she can do some power shoping on Sat. prior to the game. This weekend's gonna cost me.

    It is now official that Cindy and I will not be able to make it to this get together. No vacation time available and I am teaching an 11 hour/day three week class starting on the 20th.

    Give our tickets to someone or spread out and make yourselves comfortable.

    I'm also going to have to back out. I've put it off in hopes of deciding otherwise, but my dad is having some health issues and I will be visiting Tucson regularly over the next several months. Use my tickets well, and give my regards to the Negro League Hall of Fame if you go.

    Tom and Cindy,

    I'm sorry your schedules won't allow. Hopefully, by a small miracle you can still pull it off, but I completely understand. Besides, we need an offset for the other SEC contingent, if ya know what I mean :wink:

    BDR,

    My best wishes to your pops that it's short-term in nature and also tell him I said SEMPER FI.

    I should have no problem selling those tickets on game day for face value, then I'll get checks back to you all ASAP.

    Best wishes to all and your families.

    Rick,

    Sorry to hear about your Dad. I can only offer from personal experience that you cannot spend too much time with him. The more time and caring you give to him someday will come back to you in the form of consoling peace.

    Man I was really hoping you could make it Rick, but family comes first no doubt about that. Hope all goes well for your dad.

    For the record I'll be getting into the KC Airport about 3:15 on Friday and will be staying at the Drury Inn and Suites Stadium. I think Stu is also staying there.

    Don't forget about your buddy BOBDA Doc...

    Gipper, Bill and I will have our brides there. Additionally, I'll also have Tax write off's 1 & 2 and Mert and Fern. There will be roughly 15 there.

    If Jiffy meets George in Joisey.....
