WSU VS. DETROIT Predictions and Pregame Discussions

This is always a part of the season ticket package

[Dave Stalwart]

Wait then where are my tickets? Surely I didn't give those to somebody at work. I'm afraid that may be the case if they are part of it. I must have been feeling generous at Christmas or something and now I will pay the price :)

I haven't made a score prediction all year, and I'm not about to start now. But this team has had some things happen to galvanize them and bring them together at absolutely the right time. I expect them to be focused and razor sharp. My only fear is that they are too amped for the game.

Very special times await.

So that's 2 ESPN commentators that have us losing this game. Another good opportunity for the Shocks. Let's take advantage of it.

Any possibility that Detroit will not be able to make it in due to the winter storm?

Not only the Detroit team but how about the officials. @ShockRef: and @SubGod22: please be standing by just in case.

I haven't made any predictions at all this year either but really which would you choose...The Air Capitol or motor city?

If they happen to fly via charter (Detroit not the refs), no problem, the airport is open. If they fly via commercial, then it depends if the carrier cancels their flight (duh, I know). I would assume they fly in on Friday and things should be back to semi normal. Now if they have to scramble due to cancellations, they may have to compete with all the other folks whose flights were cancelled Wed/Thur for available seats. Best scenario for us, they get here late Saturday morning all worn out. :calm: It's good to be the home team! Now if they take a bus .... well then, we'll play a double header for Senior Night.

PS: Barry Sanders will root for us, I'm sure of it.

I actually disagree with every single one of his picks.

Friend of mine just texted from Atlanta. His 5:45 flight from ICT finally took off at 11:15 today.

If they're coming in tomorrow, I'd think they'd be ok. This stuff I believe is supposed to pass this evening and I'd think ICT would be fine tomorrow. But I don't really follow all that too closely so I could be way off base.

I'd assume the officials won't arrive until Saturday morning, depending if they work Friday night I guess. I guess it depends on where they're flying in from. I do know one area official who last I heard was on an emergency alt list for the MVC. Good official.

I was on the Detroit board earlier and there were no mentions of travel issues from them.

[SubGod22]

Just checked the board again and it was brought up. Word is they're leaving Detroit tomorrow afternoon. I doubt they have issues.

You're sure a selfish SOB! j/k :)

Now that would be a 1,000 mile bus trip you would definitely want to avoid.
