Kotton Picking Kitty Power: Week 5 Thread

[MaximumSam]

Throwing it up a little early because we are flying to Chicago in the morning for a little weekend away from the kids. I've been playing Mewgenics a bit and Northwestern opens their new stadium tomorrow night against the Nits. I've floated the idea of going to the game, not sure the wife would be about that life.

Won't make the Westerville North game, though they have beaten both other Westerville teams and are now Kings of Westerville. At 4-2 they are ranked 8th in their region and should make the playoffs.

Anyways, good luck to everyone but Iowa, and let me know your Chicago recs. We are staying in the loop and won't have a car, but open to everything. Going on a Prohibition Tour on Saturday, which as far as I can tell is just going to a bunch of bars to drink and learn about the mob.

I'll be surprised if Florida wins.  They've had more smoke blown up their asses than Mt. Tambora produced in 1815.  
I hope I'm wrong.

Mizzou - impressive????   still ranked?

[MaximumSam]

The wife was more receptive to football than I thought, so we will be in the stands for NW v. PSU

[Brutus Buckeye]

Kudos on the Molesterville sweep.

That feels like PSU v. Michigan

Get a hot dog at Mustard's Last Stand, next to the stadium. Train station circled below.



Take the red line then purple line to the stadium and back. It's cheap and easy.



Those tickets could not have been cheap. First game in the new digs. Go Cats!

Tell me exactly where you are staying and I can make some recommendations.

[FearlessF]

Kimpton. Kimptons? 

[MaximumSam]

Would it make sense to stop at Wrigleyville or other places along the way. Haven't been to Chicago in twenty years.

[847badgerfan]

I wouldn't bother with Wiggly. The Kubbs are done and the neighborhood is in mourning. 

Which Kimpton? There are many.

Give be some cross streets.

How long you gonna be there?

I highly recommend this. It's a cab ride for you. Go early (seriously).

That's the financial district.

I'd venture out to the Fulton Market neighborhood and hang there. Cool vibes, pretty safe at night (unlike River North) and great restaurants.

You can hit Twin Anchors on Sunday for lunch. Get there 30 minutes prior to open.

Oh, and just an FYI
