This year  the championship night is on Saturday, December 30.

The tickets will be $23 each, and that includes both games.  Right now, I just need to know how many to order, you can pay me for them anytime up to and including gametime!<\/p>\n<p>If you are a Michigan Tech graduate and want tickets, make sure to give me your graduating year with your order, and you will become eligible for a drawing for a free hotel room on Friday December 29 at the Marriot Hotel in downtown Detroit.  Winner will be notified 2 weeks prior to the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>I will need to have your orders by Tuesday NOVEMBER 28 to meet the time constraints of the MTU Alumni ticket sales, so don&#8217;t put off getting back to me!<\/p>\n<p><\/em><em>We usually have a group of 20-30 going and always have a great time!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested, email cramps1 at comcast dot net, and let him know that you saw this on my journal. :)<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a little bit of the golden rule applied to real life:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/my.break.com\/media\/view.aspx?ContentID=185461\">Atheist filmmaker knocks on doors, attempting to convert Mormons.<\/a>  Thanks <lj user=\"wedschilde\">.<\/lj><\/p>\n<p>Aaaaaaaand&#8230; I&#8217;m blocked.  :\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey Day was a complete success.
