We'll all be rolling in at different times on Friday but let's meet up at Boston's Gourmet Pizza and Sports Bar which is located in the same parking lot as the hotel. They have big screens, pool tables, a big bar and are used to loud people. I thought it would be perfect for us!!! Their menu has pizza, sandwiches as well as dinners. Just come in when you get in town, they'll be someone there from our group.

Apparel Orders: I will not be lugging them with me unless you email me and tell me you will be at the game. Otherwise, I will have them all with me at the last home game, Nov. 5.

SAVE THE DATE!: Saturday, November 5th immediately following the last home game against Wayne State there will be a end of the season BONFIRE BASH at the Rumsey residence. This event will be hosted by Nancy and Troy Rumsey and Luann and Craig Crowley. Everyone....and I mean everyone is invited. Players and their families, coaches and their families, grandmas & grandpas!!! There will be an email invitation, with a download map sent out early next week. So make sure you talk to your son (they will have plenty of time to get back to Hillsdale and do whatever it is they do after games) and whoever will be with you after the game because Nancy need will an RSVP with a head count. Details will follow with the invitation email next week.

Saturday promises to be great fall football weather! I can't wait to see the leaves on the way there and to bring the "W" home with us. Travel safe and we'll see you all at Boston's Sports Bar Friday night!
