Bus trip to VT

[alum73]

As of pregame, there were still 5 seats available on the bus to VT. Register online at www.albany.edu/alumni/register.htm or call 442-3080. Get them while they're hot! Could be where Jamar breaks the all time UA scoring record and we, hopefully, score our first win ever in Patrick.

I called the number at 8:45 this morning and lowered the number to 4 at that tiime.

9:15 AM the number was lowered to 3.

 

On an aside, what should I smuggle onto the bus, as this will be my first alumni bus trip (also, it will be sans wife): a six-pack, a deck of cards, a book, or some combination of the three?

 

Basically, will other people be having a pre-game party, playing poker, or just reading?

usually a quiet bunch....the scenery going up north should be quite nice

don't remember any poker games, but beers have definitely been on board before - but it's a long trip

[alum73]

I'll bring some breakfast bars, which go with beer, to tide you over until you eat your box lunch. Not configured very well for a card game. We watched movies over and back to UConn. I'll bring a few for options.

The bus trip was a good time. Bob, Thanks for the Breakfast bars. They helped give us energy for the game/

The trip was well worth it, even of the outcome of the game was not favorable to the UAlbany fans.

 

Two things perplexed me about the bus trip itself:

 

1.) I thought there would be a tip jar for the driver, as he gave us a long, incident free day.

 

2.) The movie 'Invincible' lacked a plot. If I know beforehand that it is the story of a bartender that makes the Eagles, there is no reason to watch. There was no real drama, there was no character development. He tries out, makes the team, and then gets a special teams touchdown in the second game of the season, and then the movie ends.....Nothing really special or different there. Highly unimpressed.

 

Other than that, good times, and here's to getting Brent back in the flow versus Stony Brook.

Nice to hear. At the end of the trip I was standing awkwardly near the driver with a couple bucks hidden in my hand, looking for a place to drop it. In the end I slinked away with the money, hoping he received some sort of accomodation.

 

All in all, a very pleasurable day.

We ended up doing the same.
