Ack! I'm going to Columbus the weekend of the 22nd

[lizziegrace]

and it's also the weekend of the Michigan game being played in, you guessed it, Columbus. x(

1. why is that bad?

traffic? crowds?

[sasquatch]

3. Yes and yes

[LisaL]

2. And that is a problem why?

4. I think lg wanted a quiet weekend in Columbus

[lizziegrace]

6. Game weekends are a pain, but Michigan is insane

you're right, I wanted a normal weekend in Columbus.

Fans come who don't have tickets and cruise the campus area and pack the bars to watch so they can be "close to" game. I guess after 15 years of living in Columbus, we know pretty well what to expect.

:hug: for tomorrow, my friend.

7. Thanks.

I would imagine that Michigan at Ohio State is a lot like Packers at Vikings...

[lizziegrace]

9. Yep

If it's a noon game, it won't be as bad. The later the game, the more people drink before the game, the wilder it gets.

5. Packed restaurants and bars

and 100,000 extra people in the city. It's not pretty.

8. Just avoid the campus area and you should be fine.

12. yeah, I doubt that anyone will be out on the West side of town raising hell

[lizziegrace]

14. Lelapin lives in campus town

Can't avoid it really.

10. Don't worry

Michigan has no team this year, there is nothing at stake...;(

[lizziegrace]

13. Doesn't matter

it's tradition and the stadium will be sold out.

Sorry it won't be a game though. It makes the insanity worth it. :(

[JVS]

11. I don't think it will be that exciting a game this year.

[lizziegrace]

15. That's true

The bar that Sallymander and all of us were meeting at is just south of campus. Lelapin's living essentially on campus. Hard to avoid and I'm staying with her at least part of the weekend. Oh well. Could be worse. ;)
