I THINK we had use of the FedEx planes until Pastner's 2nd season, but don't quote me on that. I think that we stopped exclusively chartering (but still charter occasionally) at the end of the 2013 season, but again, don't quote me.

I am surprised that you and others don't have the answer to this question. I don't think it would be that hard to find out.

Under Cal we bussed a lot. Did to UAB everytime and Southern Miss most of time. Still have access to charter is my understanding.

With it being a short drive and sho being out, it's not a suprise. Team has regularly bussed on short trips such as USM and UAB when classes were out and there was no rush to get there or get back.

I was going to make a joke about Cal and the weed they smoked in the hotels but I'll not, it cost us a final four. They usually bus on short trips.

Flying to Houston would have made ZERO sense. It would have taken longer than the bus ride and cost more.
