CANCELED: Alumni Association Bus Trip to USM Basketball Game

[Cajunsmike]

To be fair it is Thursday. It’s a shame the conference is making us play both of the USM games on Thursdays as they should be on Saturdays. Not everyone can get away like that. I’m sure we could have filled two buses if it was on Saturday.

I was one of the people that had to wait last minute to see if some things could work in order to go. I didn’t purchase a ticket through the alumni association but I am now able to go so we will be driving up tomorrow afternoon.

THIS IS NOT INDICATIVE OF THE “SOFTNESS” OF OUR FANBASE.

Both ULM games were on Thursday as well. I would have gone to both ULM and USM were they on Saturday. Note many of the folks who regularly follow the team on nearby road trips are driving.

We found out the tires on the bus were not a school color.

Nice spin.

Did the go round and round?

You have identified the problem.

They started off parked.

A force at rest tends to stay . parked.

Pointed that out a month ago during the travel partner discussion. SBC screwed the pooch, 4 games that would have had a good weekend gate missed.

. . . isn’t it amazing how much and how often those in positions of authority screw the pooch . . .

USM won 7 games last year. Nobody expected them to have the year they are having. I would assume that is why we got this type of scheduling.

[CajunVic]

. . . they still have to play games on Saturday . . . why not use drivability as a main factor for scheduling Saturday games when practical . . . 0 for 4 on the ones missed looks like that was not even a consideration . . .

And there's the rub, berth of these jobs leads to deciding on the 6th to do something on the 8th and decide on the 7th there was no interest.

But really it's the weekday instead of the weekend where the rubber meets the road. . err . fails to meet the road.

At least the pooch stays happy, but even the pooch is getting tired of being screwed. It’s getting old.

Monday: 'hey let's'
Tuesday: 'no interest '
Wednesday: 'we cancel'
Thursday: 'we tried'

Nice spin.

i would say WOW, but since no tickets sold, the tires did not spin!

I agree, if it were Saturday, we would have 6, maybe 8 going. I just can't do it today.
