“And Leave the Driving to Us” was a slogan used by Greyhound Bus Lines. It applicable to Bishop Place’s bus, too.
During Washington State University men’s and women’s home basketball seasons, the Bishop bus treks from southeast Klemgard Street, up Stadium Way to WSU Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum so Bishop Place residents can watch and cheer on the Cougar basketball teams playing on Friel Court.Why drive? Through all kinds of weather, the Bishop bus takes you from home at Bishop Place, has a great next to the Colsieum parking place, and takes you home after the game.
Here are photos from one of those trips -- afternoon of Dec. 13, 2009 -- when Bill Dolph drove the bus. Jack Dorman, Warren Wayenberg and his son, Rick Wayenberg, and photographer Tim Marsh were the riders. They cheered on the Cougar women’s team in a game versus the University of Portland.
No matter whether the WSU basketball teams win or lose, their fans are loyal. As Bill Dolph says, “Go, Cougs!”
