Its only a 6 hour drive with no traffic to Baton rouge from Austin. They will be tired but its a night game tomorrow....

So as someone who works in the FAA, weird stuff started happening around 2:30 and I was thinking it was just a regional issue. Imagine my surprise when I saw this was across the country 😬

Working to confirm some details of the plans for Texas behind the scenes.

Soooooo

Does the committee forgive the loss due to us being tired?

I think we should reschedule the game RIGHT NOW to either Sunday or Monday.

Make it happen CDC.

Is there any chance this game gets canceled or postponed?

Better start that bus ride now.

Dudes will be tired but at least it is a night game tomorrow.

They are not making a bunch of football players sit on a bus for 8+ hours less than 24 hours before a game.

A bus trip doesn't sound feasible.

Texas has deplaned and is headed back to the facility/campus for a meal, walk through and additional meetings. The plane remains to leave Austin for Baton Rouge tonight, though timeline remains tbd.

Have both teams bus to NRG Stadium in Houston and call it even lol

I’m assuming the best case scenario is they get to BR around midnight and still get good rest considering it’s a 6:30pm game?

Neutral site game in Houston. Largest city with a stadium to hold this game. Both teams drive.

Would be tough even if they had buses ready now to pick them up on the tarmac.

There’s a chance a lot of games get pushed off to Sunday especially early kick games. This isn’t gonna be resolved anytime soon.

Ground stop for equipment failure per FAA.

I talked to Niblett, he said that would be the worst...they were supposed to land in BR at 4:25

Absolutely cannot rely on flying anywhere tonight or tomorrow.

Get on the damn bus or train and go.

We bus in now, we have a huge competitive disadvantage.

Oooof. Hows about we move this to Sunday night.
