Normal, IL, here we come!!

[stoversghost]

You know that Normal, IL, is the Birthplace of Beer Nuts, right?

Anybody else heading out to IL for the Tourney? The Days Inn in Normal still has rooms, but -- from what we understand --no tap room. Pablo's Margarita's is right across the car park. Walking distance from Red Bird Arena.

We're going to keep the Charlotte Beach Blast rolling at NV Ultra Bar and Maggie Miley's (http://www.maggiemileys.com/) on East Beaufort! Might have better wings than Sullivan's ... we've heard!

OK, folks. We should've won in the 'Rock so let's take this trophy home!

If you're staying at the Days Inn, ask the desk for Ray the Rat's room number! Portville Phil -- the New Frank Sinatra of the Southern Tier -- will provide the entertainment!

See you there and GO BONAS!

Asking as an ancient ex-Portvillian myself, just who was the Former Frank Sinatra of the Southern Tier?

I've got family there, but alas, cannot go. Wish my job didn't keep me tethered during the holidays, would have been great to see a pair of games with free lodging.

Boy, Stove's, you really do your prep work! I had a notion about going to these games, but with 2 daughters coming home for turkey day and the weekend, there's no way I get out of town.

I more or less assumed you meant Lou. I just never considered him in the "Sinatra" mode.

Ok, Were bringing a crew from Chicago and were staying at the Marriott Normal right next to Maggy Mileys. its about a half mile walk to the arena from there... expect us to be there before the game on saturday... (and prob sunday).

PS I think Maggy Miley's should be known as Burton Midwest for this trip...
