I am talking to all the Ball State alums that might see this thread. We are playing the Northwestern Wildcats Sep. 26 @800pm. Let me invite you all to attend this contest especially if you have not been to a gridiron fiesta lately. You may come a day early if you wish and have extra time in one of the world's great cities. Or you can drive to Chicago on Saturday and have the day in the city then attend the game in Evanston that evening. Ball State football is so much fun. You will have a great time for sure. Call the BSU athletic offices and find out where the tail gating area is and join your fellow Ball State fans for a little fellowship and fun before the contest. These kids are working their collective rear ends off to represent the University the least we can do is show them that we appreciate their efforts. The time to make your plans is NOW. Call your friends, family, old girlfriends, boyfriends, and get the grandparents to babysit the children to experience Chicago and Ball State football!! NO EXCUSE IS VALID! A victory in Evanston will be crucial in our overall success this season. Make your plans and announce them on this site to encourage others. Do not wait...Now is the time...Do it now, you will not regret it.

Being from Chesterton along the southern shore of Lake Michigan, my wife and have long enjoyed immediate Chicago area. We still have family in Chesterton and will be making a weekend of it. The drive from our home on the western shore of Kentucky Lake outside of Murray is about 7 hours but well worth it to enjoy some Cardinal football and visit family and friends, some who will join us at the game.

Just boat over to Evanston.

This is great! What we need are fans to decide to go to Chicago NOW! Come On you Cardinals. Change your plans to go to the inlaws and detour to Evanston. A weekend in Chicago ( one of the great cities of the western world), or a weekend in Middlebury with Nana and Papa. Is there any question? Keep 'em coming. Let's show some Ball State enthusiasm and show up in force. It will and does effect the team. I want to see a show of force. This could turn your marriage around...a lust filled weekend and a Cardinal victory. See you at the stadium.

This is good but we need more to announce plans so more will be coaxed into making plans. There is strength in numbers. Let us know what your plans are for the Northwestern game. This team needs our support! How about the SLED?? Ed where are you?

I come across a lot of Alums that ''think'' they are too old for road trips! That's not true. Make plans to be in Evanston.
