Get the Hurriquake mug.The team motto used by the Unviersity of Bridgeport Baseball team. Because every year we go on our Florida trip for pre-season we are always hurried places but then have to wait for a long period of time. At the Orlando Airport we were hurried to the curbside pick where we proceded to wait for 2 hours for the vans to pick us up. We are hussled through batting practice and infield-outfield just to wait 45 mins for the game to start. Also our coach makes has us meet down stairs 30 mins. before we actually leave for the game.
