lol. That's funny.

I think USF did this the first time we played them.  If memory serves me we were laughed off the bus and took a plane back.

I feel bad for the small towns that they may stop at on the way up... Hurricanes on a bus = instant crime wave  :

The best part will be having to get back in that bus after the late season loss  ;D

[BULLfreak]

we did the same thing last time we played them

smart move

why is this such a shocker?  it makes sense.  even in a strong economy it would make sense to bus.  For one, there is more room on a bus than a plane, its cheaper, and total travel time is about the same.

think about it, if you fly to usf from coral gables what do you need to do?  load up the players on some buses and drive them to miami airport.  unpack ALL the equipment from the bus and load it on the plane.  have all the players and staff go thru security checks and then taxi on the runway and fly to TIA.  when you land you get to taxi around for 20 minutes or so, get off the plane, unload equipment and get onto another bus, then drive to hotel.

with the bus, you just load and unload once, drive straight from UM's campus to their team hotel on the same bus without having to get off and get back on.

Yet I remember you bashing of USF for doing the same . . .
