How long does a laptop battery last nowadays?


I would assume the bus has outlets next to the seats as well...

Remember when you actually had to look out a window during a trip?  #I'm_old_and_grumpy

Ha! Actually, I asked about this at the ticket office, and they said there were outlets available on the bus.

Would it be weird for me as an adult alum to make my 20-year old sister who is a junior go and take me as a guest so I can get this deal?

Anyone have any idea of how many busses went to Detroit last year?  I have a feeling we're going to have a better turnout here than our other bowls in the last couple of years...

Agree on the excitement for this game. And I'm pretty sure the fact that we're in New Orleans is helping that a lot. I got a call from a couple guys from my old job seeing if we wanted to get a trip together. And turns out, two out of the four in our group haven't been to an Ohio game since they left campus (>9  years ago).

If I had to guess now, I'd say I'll have a much easier time getting takers for season tickets next year.

Back to original post, it's great to see that the U is giving the students an awesome opportunity to see New Orleans and the bowl game.

Ladies and Gentlemen, social media is a beautiful thing.

I'm seeing TONS of students talking about New Orleans! 

Could this trip sell out?

Now we just need to make sure to get them off Bourbon and into the Superdome on time!!

Go Bobcats!

If I had a 20 year old sister, I couldn't consionably allow her to travel to New Orleans without any form of protective supervision.

Turn up the volume on your computer, close your eyes, and picture the ride.  Those of you old enough to remember riding the bus will appreciate this classic.

Hard to beat a little Harry Chapin.....reminds me of a cross country trip I took on the Hound in 1987, I must say it is a trip I will NEVER make again, but one I wouldn't trade the experience or memories for!  Funny how you learn so many lessons through such an experience.

A friend's son called and signed up this morning... Get this.... he said he was told they're working on the 5th bus and the phones have been off the hook this morning!!  


This is an A++++++ effort by the department in my opinion...

Just substitute the ticket office with Ralphie and this works out pretty well...

Yes it is, but is it enough to make you all forget 44 cents that may have been wasted in mailing the MACC flyer???

I called the ticket office this morning to order my tickets and was on hold several minutes while they took calls. I understand they have at least 6 busses now.

Not necessarily as students can bring guests. I know anorris and I will have two guests who are not students.
