I find this interesting that the Gophers fly to North Dakota and
Michigan.  St. Cloud buses to the Michigan schools.  I don't know the
reasoning behind it (is it cheaper one way or the other).
 
This could also be one of the keys to success for the Gophers.  Taking a
bus is far more stressful than flying.  I wonder.......
