Only bus to Iowa and Kansas. Fly everywhere else.

Do they fly home from KU? I'm pretty positive we bused down because we stayed in Kansas City (I still pass by the hotel when driving through KC) but after the game we drove to Topeka and flew back to Des Moines from there.

But that was a long time ago lol.

The case for Houston is very similar to the case for UConn (only UConn is more so) --

-- both reside in a gigantic metro area where nobody cares about them (if UConn counts for NYC)

-- great basketball (UConn more than Houston but both are powerhouses historically)

-- terrible football (Houston has had more periods of success than UConn ever has, of course, and I would imagine a school in Houston has access to more talent than one in the Northeast)

-- BY wants to add them anyways despite these drawbacks

-- Houston was mostly added to backfill the conference to give it the numbers to have some chance at survival... which is less of a factor but still a factor if UConn ends up in the Big 12
**** UConn now and forever.

Never been a fan of white vehicles. Most have a very generic fleet vehicle look.

I liked the old Cardinal truck and trailer better.

This one is ok, just not as good as the last one.
I thought they were saving the all white tractor/trailer combination for the white out game...

I see that Cyclone equipment drives to games, this one in TX. Are there any games in the US where they would have to fly their equipment? I would imagine, driving anywhere, is the way to go, cheapest, but not cheap.

That leads me to the players and coaches. Where is the cutoff line between a bus, and flying? For the upcoming game in Houston, did they bus or fly?

Inquiring minds.
Imagine having to drive Utah's equipment to Orlando or vice versa (34 hour drive). That would suck.

I guess money is supposed to solve all these problems?

Don't we just love the B1G on all the time now? Huge game tonight, WA @ Rutgers. I can't wait. Don't wanna miss it.

Second thought, I can wait. Not watching.

Cross country equipment ride for WA? Or, with the added money they make (will make) in the B1G, maybe they will buy their own equipment jet?

The ISU tailgate is going to be great. Unfortunately, I'm heading with some Houston fans so we aren't doing that but are doing The Den, bar in the near campus area.

Look forward to seeing Clone fans take over the area.
