You might have seen the circuitous route USF had to take to get to Newark for this game, which was laid low by a whopping 24.2" of snow on Sunday and Monday. The Bulls' Sunday flight to Newark was cancelled, and rebooking with the post-Christmas backlog of travelers was impossible. (Newark Liberty International Airport only re-opened Monday evening.) Rather than try and fly up the day of the game and miss a shootaround/walkthrough, the Bulls boarded a flight to Washington Monday afternoon, and then took a bus all the way up to Newark. According to Greg Auman, the team should have arrived in town about 1:30 this morning... assuming traffic went well. There's no way the team is going to be well-rested tonight, as if it didn't have enough problems. After tonight's game, the Bulls are staying up north and heading over to Hartford for Friday's game against UConn.
With that in mind, the queefcore anthem for this game is "We Are" by Vertical Horizon. 'Cause I don't know how, and I don't know where, weeeeeyarrrrrre, weeeeeyarrrrrre. (Bonus -- inexplicable Final Fantasy cinema scenes!)
