Bus Behaviors

College teams tend to spend long hours on buses. In our case, it isn't as bad as it could be, given that Lake Forest is pretty centrally located in our Conference, but we still get bored and restless.

Everyone has a different bus routine. We have had players who did nothing but sleep from the second they got on to the minute they were poked awake by a teammate. We have players who bring their laptops and watch endless hours of Law and Order: SVU. Coach Bell likes to watch movies. Coach Geiser reads.

Throughout the year I hope to post a few more examples of bus behavior, but here are the usual routines.
