Riding Along on Chad Ochocinco’s Magic Bus

↵↵It looks like Chad Ochocinco is trying to give the Panthers’ backfield a run for the title of best fan club. Sure, DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart played laser tag and had cake with fans, which is still awesome, but Ochocinco is selecting 10 fans to take with him on a bus for three days from Cincinnati to Miami.↵

↵↵Three days. On a bus. With Ochocinco. I hope you like your life being broadcasted on UStream. Must also love video games. Actually, all you’ve really got to do is buy one of these shirts and you’re evidently entered. Ocho says he’s flying people to Cincinnati, taking the bus from the Nati to Miami, and then flying people back to their homes. Along the way, the man has some plans. Just check out the itineraries for Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3.↵

↵↵If you didn’t check out the itinerary, it’s a lot of work at various charitable stops, but also a pretty fair amount of fun. Stops at places like the Freestore Foodbank (where my dad works) are juxtaposed with trips to possibly see Jeezy or Weezy in the studio in Atlanta or Miami. (Those weren’t on the official itinerary, but he keeps talking it up on UStream.) There’s even a day planned at Disney! Ochocinco also said he wants to try to go to Haiti at the end of the trip, but that sounds like a solo mission. Sorry, contest winners.↵

↵↵This whole thing is more of a “win the lottery” proposition than the guaranteed experience the fan club members got in Charlotte with the Panthers, but you’ve got to admit, for 10 people who do all this traveling, it’ll be the best $19.40 they ever spent on a t-shirt. Ochocinco said he’s going to try and get winners announced later today, so there’s still time for you to get in.↵
