For $75 not bad with all thats included but i am wondering if it will be a tough sell. I have struggled & failed in the past offering bus trips for $50 or less. Our current one is for $25 to get on the bus + $17 for a game ticket. (The game ticket is more expensive cause Baltimores prices are outrageous) But thats just to Baltimore and its only 2 hours away. We arent makin a penny off of it either because of those high ticket prices. Had the price been higher i doubt we woulda gotten a bus together but luckily i have 46 people who are signed up and ready to go. You'll have to let me know how they do on this one for that price.....

I will do so! Cos I'm gettin' on the bus to go fishin' in Tupelo. Maybe I can give a report from the bus itself as I am fully equipped with a wireless card!
.......Can't wait! It's play-off time (in 2 weeks)

Nice! congrats. Are you guys using a sleeper bus? No, its just a standard motorcoach with a 57 person max. Baltimore is only 2 hours away from here so i doubt anyone would be sleeping. Though maybe some will be sleeping the beer off on the way back, lol.

Goodluck sounds like a rowdy bus! maybe columbus will still be doing this considering the recent events in Tupelo!
.........Maybe if nothing else we can play the ghostriders.......i mean some replacement players but i truly hope everyone they had when we beat them the last time are still there!
It is a great team to watch when they are in-sync and that would be the game i would want the Lions to cut their teeth on!
