The Kickermobile, sounds corny - looks cool. Can't wait to see it all painted up, what an excellent idea. Sounds like you're already getting money back from other teams renting it.

Here's the story

This is so cool.! Man I wish the Gades had done this when I worked for them.

"Mike who's hidden talents include the ability to sleep in over head luggage racks"

I'm afraid to even ask.

The picture must be a smaller version. How can they sleep 26 in there unless they all crowd together?

Innovative thinking on the part of the Kickers!!

Well see, sleeping on 17 hour bus rides can get rough when theres no room to stretch out...one time on a trip home from Baton Rouge I had had enough of twisting myself into a pretzel and trying to sleep so I crawled up into the overhead rack and actually had plenty of room to stretch out.. sitting up was NOT a good idea however.

Like I said...

The "Kickermobile" is 55 feet long. There are fold-away bunks that are 6' 6" long stacked three high on each side. It looks much more like a tractor trailer than it does a bus. We're all excited about the opportunities this vehicle will give us in terms of extra days rest for the guys (actually having a day off instead of using that day to fly home) and saving money on travel costs.

...so we can crash the gate, doing 98 saying let them Kicker's roll, 10-4!

"...Ain't she a beautiful sight..."

Or How about this one: "We got a long way to go and a short time to get there..."

But you went ahead anyway, didn't you?

Ahh, but to the contrary, I didn't ask. Mikey just took the "opportunity" to elaborate.

enquiring minds wanted to know. I thought it would be bater if I went on and said spilled the beans before some national newspapers got a hold on the story and distorted it beyond any truth...Thats my story and I'm sticking to it
