Where is the party? I'm coming down in the late morning from Sheboygan.

It used to be here:

Fun! I didn't realize what a place it was, or what an interesting youngish alum was the host. Good of him to open it up.

Are we sending a student bus to this game? Always loved seeing 60-70 Valpo students to their 5.

There's one, or more, alumni buses. Not sure about students - I've not noticed anything on campus. But, I'm not quite sure how the student section is organized this year. I hear their announcements for the scholarship competition, but I'm not sure beyond that.

From Alumni Association:

Good evening everyone!

Unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating with us to have everyone go see the Crusaders take on UW-Milwaukee. Our bus company has told us that they do not feel safe driving up to Milwaukee tomorrow. Therefore, we needed to cancel the bus leaving from Valpo.

You are more than welcome to drive up to the Nunuemaker residence for the pregame reception and are more than welcome to watch the game. However, we are unable to charter the bus.

We of course will refund you either the entire cost of the trip or the cost of the bus ride if you do choose to attend the event anyway.

Stay Warm!

I'm planning on still driving up there in the morning. My wife says we are going to have to check on weather and road conditions when we wake up. I just can't let all that bacon, eggs, and everything else go to waste.

Never let an excellent party go to waste! Can I wear my 1960's flip flops?

In my corner of Valpo the snow's not too bad. 3 inches? No plows yet.

The radar made it look like accumulation might vary significantly even within town.

oklahomamick · February 15, 2015, 08:24:25 AM

Vegas has valpo -6

vusupporter · February 15, 2015, 08:33:06 AM

Guessing the bus got canceled since the bus company is based out of the South Bend area.

agibson · February 15, 2015, 08:41:03 AM

That would do it. Looks like things were pretty serious that way, DHS red advisories, etc.

Porter's in orange, but I'm guessing that's for the N and NE.

VULB#62 · February 15, 2015, 11:02:12 AM

Sunny and cold north of MKE.

Lots of action at the UWM boards:

I already want to punch these announcers and the game hasn't started. These guys are the worst in the Horizon. Made a swipe about Valpo's brown.

wh · February 15, 2015, 01:24:37 PM

Couldn't have planned a slower start. Time to wake up.

vu84v2 · February 15, 2015, 01:30:09 PM

I am not sure that it is physically or celestially possible for the offense to be more sluggish. Move the ball...move without the ball!

wh · February 15, 2015, 01:31:53 PM

T. Walker and AP are going to have to become more aggressive on offense. Scorers have to score.

wh · February 15, 2015, 01:42:41 PM

New worst announcer ever. Perpetual whiner. Focused on nothing but the officiating. Complaining about this "new" official, as if they got some guy out of the stands and gave him a whistle. Where's the color commentator so this idiot can rest his voice?

oklahomamick · February 15, 2015, 01:49:53 PM

I don't remember the last time we were down at halftime.

vu84v2 · February 15, 2015, 01:50:49 PM

Not sure what is worse so far - Milwaukee's announcer or how Valpo played. Just sluggish with no real momentum or energy on offense. Zone at the end of the half seemed to confuse Milwaukee, so perhaps we'll see more zone in the second as Valpo tries to wedge out a 50-49 win. Darn ugly so far.

rink · February 15, 2015, 01:52:20 PM

Bryce not taking a timeout there to set up the final possession of the half was piss poor coaching, imo. We are so sloppy and disorganized this game.

vu84v2 · February 15, 2015, 01:56:19 PM

No idea why you felt Bryce not calling a timeout was bad coaching. He did not have one to give. Valpo got an open three from Peters - not sure what more you could hope for.

Rob Jeter not ordering his team to foul on that last possession was bad coaching, since Milwaukee only had 5 fouls. Wish Peters had made that three.

a3uge · February 15, 2015, 01:59:01 PM

First time I've heard complaints about Bryce NOT burning timeouts in first half.

a3uge · February 15, 2015, 02:02:10 PM

Need to force more "block charges" in the 2nd half, get to the line.

rink · February 15, 2015, 02:02:51 PM

What do you mean he did not have one to give?

Yeah, we ended up with a good look. Complete luck stone that hasn't been the norm all game. And still it was a deep three at the end of a helter skelter possession. I saw it as very important we put forth our best chance at closing the half time gap to 3 or 2.

My frustration with the new worst announcer is no doubt influenced by my frustration with our listless play. If we come back and take control of the game in the 2nd half, I'm sure the mindless babbling will bother me far less.
