Of course Ted Ginn is the man with the vision that's responsible for the 2nd-Annual bus tour.
All players on the bus filled up in the chow line before departure.
Many of the players, in this particular instance Rowell and Hines, seemed to be very excited.
The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable.
Coach Ginn collected his thoughts and then addressed everyone on board before leaving Glenville en route to Ball State...
...made a couple of phone calls...
..and then he assumed his position in a car with Howard Ridgeway so that more seats would be available for the kids on the bus. Dane Sanzenbacher of Toledo Central Catholic and as many as six others were scheduled to join the bus tour somewhere along the way.
And they were off!
In addition to Ball State, the bus tour is on a tentative schedule to travel to Marshall, Cincinnati, Miami, Bowling Green, Iowa, Notre Dame, Illinois, Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Eastern Michigan and return to Glenville on June 22.
