TMH, the team does not bus everywhere. I remember several games where Ray Goss commented on hoping they make their flight. As far as getting back in a snow storm it is pretty hard to fly when the planes are grounded. That is why Ron took the bus back from DC during that horrible snow storm. I would think sometimes logistics play in travel plans, like the trip to Canada. Easier to bus and haul equipment around when playing in various locations. The team does bus to Dayton, Xavier, Olean, Philly (sometimes), but IMHO that has more to do with DU's travel budget than Ron's aversion to flying. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum
