Update: Texas Planning to Fly to Baton Rouge Friday Night After FAA Ground Stop

By Staff Reporter•Nov 13, 20265:44 pm•

USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Connect

According to Ross Dellenger, Texas is planning to fly to Baton Rouge on Friday night after its original flight was grounded due to the FAA's nationwide ground stop.

The Longhorns were originally scheduled to depart Austin around 3 p.m. CT on Friday but were unable to take off because of the nationwide aviation shutdown.

At 5:21 p.m. CT, Travis Recek of Spectrum News Texas posted a video showing Texas players getting off a team bus after returning to campus in Austin.

The FAA has since lifted the nationwide ground stop, allowing Texas and other college football teams to make new travel arrangements.

Kickoff from Tiger Stadium is set for 6:49 p.m. CT on ABC.

Statement from the Southeastern Conference on the FAA's nationwide ground stop:

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Clearly some of you don't know how logistics work. Getting enough busses to move people and equipment takes time. It's not just jumping in a random vehicle and road trip it.

Wouldn't the equipment already be on a truck heading this way?

I’m sure the school has the buses. They don’t fly to every game for every sport.
