As of 9/10, the 10/2 Mississippi State game bus currently sits at only 30 RSVPs. We need 50 RSVPs to cover the bus costs. I have to cancel no less than 1 week prior in order to not lose the deposit. I also need to let those that did RSVP for this bus the time to make alternate travel arrangements. Therefore, I'll be making that cancellation decision on Monday 9/20 after the New Mexico State game weekend. If cancelled, all RSVP payments for that game bus will be returned at that time. If you have been contemplating on going to this game and on this bus, please ensure you make your RSVP payment by Monday 9/20. Thanks & Gig 'em!

The 10/2 Mississippi State game bus is a GO!

We ended up with only 37 RSVPs to date for the 10/2 Mississippi State game bus. I've decided to go ahead with this bus trip regardless. Many people that have already RSVP stated that they are willing to buy an extra seat or pitch in more money to help cover the cost of the bus. I'll continue to accept RSVPs through the game day. Once on the bus, I'll let passengers know the shortage of money to cover the bus (if any) and allow them to donate as they see fit. It's been 22 months since our last bus trip so I could use a non-capacity bus to help me get back into the groove of managing the trip. The game time has been set for either 5pm or 6pm, so the detailed itinerary (and more info) will come out this weekend after the game time is decided. As a rule of thumb, the bus always departs 6 hours prior to the game kickoff. See y'all on 10/2 for the 1st bus trip of this season!

Please validate your RSVPs.

Waitlist RSVPs are not on the list. However, I email the individual if they are bumped up from the wait list to a reserved seat.

There are 3 seats left on the 10/2 Mississippi State game bus.

Never mind, just read the actual post, so I'll send PayPal money and fill 2 of the spots.

Is there a waitlist already formed for this game? I can put in for 2 through PayPal if there isn't already a list of people waiting, but can save time with the money transferring if there is.

I'm in for two. Did you get the dollar I sent you on PayPal? Just want to make sure it's going to the right person before I sent the full amount.
