That would still get them there faster.

Currently on a plane about 45 min outside of NOLA, little nerve racking to be honest. Cousin was set to leave Austin around 5:00 but that’s not going to happen.

The drive from Austin, Texas, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is approximately 430 miles and typically takes 6.5 to 8 hours of driving time, depending on traffic and stops

100%. Even if it’s lifted at 10pm there’s going to be severe delays at the airports for taxiing

34-13 Texas

People better jump in their vehicles and start driving.

everyone get their broker on the phone and buy ground transportation securities

Take the bus. It’s not that far of a drive. We need this game!

They must have gotten HACKED hacked.

CBS is interviewing a Texas fan who was supposed to fly in to Lafayette for the game lol

We are redundant in our reduncy. Texas 34-20

Somewhere there's a referee who has been waiting his entire career to make that call. 😄

FAA: All departing flights are cancelled nationwide until further notice for the first time since 9/11. Texas fans: What about our chartered flight to Baton Rouge out of Austin? What are we going to dooooooooooooo?!?

20-17 Texas

Fire up the Vonlane buses? This isn't good timing at all.

I don't know, man. I feel like you escalated things from a nationwide delay of flights. I'm not saying flight delays are ideal. It's going to be a nightmare coming out of this. But that's a different level of bad weekend from going from being esconced on your cruise ship to taking a quick unplanned dip in the Mississippi River, with and without life jackets on. And the Texas players are on a chartered flight, to Baton Rouge, which will last about an hour once they're able to take off. Again, not ideal, but not the same thing.

I agree the courts have created a mess, but doing nothing until Congress acts isn't much of a solution either. Nobody is suggesting the government can eliminate free-market forces. But when college athletics has become a billion-dollar business, there needs to be some structure, rules and accountability. Free markets still need rules of the road. Right now, college sports has very few, and that's the problem.

This is going on too:

How about the younger brother if/when Riley is canned?

ugh. This and the tanker hitting the river boat in New Orleans is a bad start to the weekend for everyone.

Atkinson almost certainly gone right? On the Bo Barnes plan.

Insane traffic approaching BR.

Couldn't justify an $800 flight

Allegedly they use Outlook. "Flights already in the air will be allowed to land." That's nice of them. I feel like they'd be landing one way or another eventually anyway.
