? Can't make this up, but as a player and coach, two separate instances...the issues came from Charter's (and, they were Cadillac's, too). Yellow birds? None (even on long trips like below). 

1- Playing at Lawrence County. Eating some post game Lee's in their middle school cafeteria? Bus pulls up and the hydraulics on the front right when lowering it down to load all on? Get stuck. Four hours later at 3am they get it fixed. Three hours + later? We're pulling back into the FH as the sun comes up.

2- Playoff game at Bell County? Between Somerset and London on on 80? Engine starts smoking on the hill going east past Shopville. They originally thought a new one had to come from Knoxville, but luckily the company had an empty one coming South on 75. Switched over right on the side of the road. 

Wow

My freshman and Sophomore years we took the Blue Goose to all our travel games. Owen, Carrol, and Paris. Junior year we got charters for the Death Valley Bowl, at Bourbon Co and at Paintsville. Senior year we had Charters for at Harrodsburg and at Berea. We usually just had pizza after the games. We did stop for lunch on the way to Lincoln Co, at Texas Roadhouse or something like that. After the Harrodsburg game I remember sitting against a chain linked fence eating pizza and a girl asking where we were from. I said Campbell Co and she asked "Like Campbellsville?". Ha ha She had no clue where Campbell Co was and I had never heard of Campbellsville that night. 

The coolest ride was when we went to Berea for the first round of the playoffs. Mr. Schneider had pulled up the post game interview from Berea's final regular season and they had clinched home field advantage in the playoffs for the first time ever. He blasted it over the speakers and we just listened, not a word spoken, as their head coach was just bragging on his team (as he should've been) and how good they had been all season. None of the coaches or players had to say a word. We were extremely prepared for them that night, one of the best weeks of practice we had all year. Talk about a fun 2hr ride home.

And yes we were back at school Saturday morning at 8am to lift, run and watch film.
