checking in from the bus

[Matt]

Not everyone is on the bus but it should be full. Most everyone is wearing green and if they aren't, they are handing out green shirts so there should be no excuses! free pizza and the bus has ESPN so it should be a good trip!

[MDH]

Great to hear, do you know where you will be sitting?

Does the bus resemble this? If not..... the AD should be fired for lack of effort

*edit..... The side of the bus says Go Mean Green in Urdu.

That is a long ride to Austin.

There are 2 buses, although im not sure how full the second one is. We stopped in West, Texas at the Czech Stop and will hopefully be departing soon! The nice people at Czech Stop wished us good luck and one lady said she is going to watch it when she gets home. Hopefully we don't disappoint!

Try and sit behind the broadcasters if possible so that we can have our representation louder on TV. Did they give you tickets too or do you have to buy those?

They make some of the best bread at that shop.

Speaking of broadcasters, I've heard rumors of the Mavs' and UNT's own Followeezy doing the TV broadcast of tonights game.

Is yours full?

[Matt]

Is yours full?

[FirefightnRick]

Just curious, but who sponsored and paid for this trip, Student Services?

Never gets old...

Got our tickets and we got stuck in section 93.

[MeanMag]

Karen Aston paid for the bus out of her own pocket.

Major props to the bus students. You guys were fantastic at this game.

I hope we can get that many out to Hot Springs in a few months.

[Matt]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun. We even got complimented by a UT fan after the game while we were standing outside. He thought it was cool that that we all came down for the game and that we never stopped cheering. Idk how loud we actually were, but it felt like we were being heard and was fun anyway. Some observations I had (non-game related:) Really weird looking arena from the outside, but I did really like the orange lighting outside the arena. It would be cool if we had something like that with green. The inside was cool, I liked the lights-out intro and because they have a bigger arena, the scoreboard strip was cool. Hopefully one day we can get the drop down scoreboard in the pit. This was my first in person experience with UT, so maybe it's not always like this.. but I would much rather have the Pit Crew and our basketball band. Not impressed with the band (hooked up through speakers, really?) and didn't really see a big student section. Perhaps there is something to the "tshirt fans" that I always hear about. Maybe it was just this game, but I was disappointed with that aspect (although it was better for us on the bus!)

You guys were great! I could hear you very well. I was 7 rows back from the floor and the North Texas chant could be hear throughout the arena.
