Anyone remember what the crowd split was like against Louisville in the F4 in 2005?

The MSU fans and Illini fans were very much supporting each other. Fuck Michigan though.*

Wait, you were being serious?

Yup. I know but since it may be the difference between a 1k and 500 ticket got to ask.*

Small price to pay for security theater.*

Well if i hedge my bets i can take in around 500 minimum up to 900 if Illini win out...

didn't you double dip, pass on other jobs, and / or want to retire to start collecting

Not sure what your definition of "at the stadium is" but you have to go about 3 blocks north.

2800 approximately which means you have to be in the top 1400 of approx 6500 donors.
