KSU played in Texas Wednesday night. I heard that Kansas had snow, ice and downed power lines. When did the ladies make it back? I assume they fly on such trips. I think ISU takes a bus to NU and MU, don't know about KSU/KU. Is there a rule of thumb about how far teams travel by bus?

I think it's up to the coaches. I believe OU only buses to Oklahoma State and Baylor.

When did KSU get home? I was wondering that myself.

I heard some where that they didn't make it home for two days, but it was a rumor.

Read in the paper this morning that the Lady Raiders also had problems coming home from the A&M game.

A part cracked on the charter (something like a windshield wiper, I gather) on take off and the pilot immediately set back down. Since a replacement part couldn't be delivered until Thursday sometime, Marsha chose to come home by bus. The bus driver ran out of allowable driving time in Weatherford, so a replacement bus and driver had to be rounded up. They finally got home about 8:30 Thursday morning.
