Your team's longest bus trip

EQguy · Post by **EQguy** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 4:28 pm

Just curious. What is the longest bus trip your team will take this year?

The reason I ask is that, in the past, SDSU has flown to any game outside a 4 or 5 hour busride. This year, due to some budgetary reasons they are bussing to both ISU (red) and Missouri State. Both rides nearing the 10 hour mark by bus.

Are your schools doing the same this year?

We have bussed to Weber in the past. Not sure this year, but i imagine so.

Will be UCA - no contest. I don't know the bus hours, just that it's about 580 miles.

Albany will bus to Pittsburgh to play St. Francis this year. About 7 hours and usually a flight.

Then it's not a bus ride

Which I think this is alluding to.

You really should read the whole post.

I did read the post, twice. It came off as a bit ambiguous to me and my post wasn't intended to throw ill will. I just got it wrong.... so shoot me.

(I have to get off this vicodin and I need my big PC back)

Honestly, I did read it and it processed that way.

He was saying they usually fly to the game but this year they are busing it.

All of our games are in either North or South Carolina this year.

I think our furthest would be at Citadel... ~5 hour drive.

about 4 hours to Houston, Texas. But Southern has the longest road trip for a "home" game 2 hours to Jackson, Miss.

Bryant has two bus rides out to Pittsburgh area. One to RMU which is about 600 miles and 10 hours and and Duquesne is 550 miles and about 9 1/2 hours.

Can we just settle this and move on? Montana has the longest bus trip, every single week of every single season, including home games.

Understood, but what's the longest one?

Thanks. I think the last time I posted something that I didn't have to revisit because I scratched my head or it was a really bad post grammatically, was my review of the TCU game and that was before my PC crashed and burned. Maybe there's something to it?

Portland State usually busses to EWU and UM and sometimes MSU. This year we also bussed to Oregon State.

We usually fly to Sacramento State.

For ISU and WSU, we fly to Salt Lake and bus to Ogden or Pocatello.

For NAU we fly to Phoenix and bus to Flagstaff.

For UNC we fly to Denver and bus to Greeley.

For MSU we usually are scheduled to bus, but the game is usually late in the season and if the weather is bad, sometimes we fly.

Also, depending on the budget, we have bussed a couple times to Sacramento.

This year's longest bus trip was the one we just went on: Montana, 520 miles.

Oregon State: 70 miles
Montana: 520 miles
Northern Colorado: 70 miles? (Denver to Greeley)
EWU: 160 miles (game is in Seattle)
Idaho State: 140 miles (Salt Lake to Pocatello)

I'm pretty sure they flew down to Springfield on Friday. (well, I'm certain they went on Friday. but I don't know 100% that they flew. only 95%).
