They stayed on the bus as long as they could

About 6 years ago, i stayed at the Residence inn on North Niles, on USC weekend. They take pets. My wife and i walked our dog early Saturday morning through the streets, and we spotted school busses at South Bend HS. we walked over, knowing it was the USC band, who was to hold a practice there, as we were band parents and wanted to get a flavor for the rivals. we met the director, talked to him for 10 minutes, then realized not one student had left their bus. we asked why and he said, "their blood is a little thin; they wait until the last minute." Their blood is a little thin. No wonder they show up in October and not November. They travel 2000 miles but stay on the bus as long and they can? I know, they don't suck as much as michigan, but they suck.
