What happens when a college basketball team can't even count on its bus driver to be the DD? It gets stuck on campus after a road game and wonders how the hell to get home.So let's take you to the St. Bonaventure campus Tuesday night. It's been a rough night for the St. Louis men's basketball team. They got trounced by 15. Everyone is probably unhappy. And at 10:45 p.m., instead of heading back home tired and downtrodden, they have to call the cops because the bus that took them to the arena in Olean, N.Y., and is supposed to take them back to Missouri, is missing. Like, gone. Yeah.This sets off a wild search, according to the Buffalo News, and some sleuthing. Because a player had left his iPhone on the bus, the police were able to trace it through GPS. They found the bus 35 miles away, driving down Main Street in Randolph.When the police pulled it over, the driver, Linda L. Edmister, failed a field sobriety test. And there was booze on the bus. Back at the Olean police station, she blew a .22, which is five times the legal limit for driving a commercial vehicle.The team eventually got another bus. They just had to kill a lot of time waiting for it. Mid major life is hard.Just chilling in the Reilly Center while we try to find our missing bus. #SCNotTop10 pic.twitter.com/Au9LwpofO1
