The Bus
Saturday at Fingerle Lumber, we were parked and tailgaiting beside an old, converted maize and blue school bus, simply named "The Bus". Everone on, in and around "The Bus" had jackets and t-shirts identifing them as members of "The Bus". They were very courteous neighbors and we enjoyed watching them party but we were wondering: Who are they? How long has "The Bus" been in existence and what is the origin? Does it go to any away games and do the members actually attend the games or just party?

the bus is part of the b-school tailgate. think business school.
it's been there forever.
and at least some of them do attend games (as i've gone to games with them).

...apparently you mean since 2004, when The Bus was created.

Shares of the "Bus" are owned by b-school students, and sold at graduation (I believe) to other B school students.

Usually BUS members will get a return on their $500 investment at the end of the year. In 2008 I think they lost money, a factor of 1) 3-9 ARRRRRRRRGH and 2) non-fun BUS owners. But they've been pretty cool the past two years.

I believe it is the graduate business school students.
Great tradition. As a BBA, we wished we had something like that, but then realized that having the option of infinity pre-game house parties did the trick.

but not exclusive to business school graduate students.
