This is as confusing as a Les Miles' press conference.

Just saw this...

quote:

Many questions remain unanswered in the Les Miles to Michigan watch. But one question has been answered. The Michigan plane arriving in Baton Rouge was a coincidence after all. It turns out a couple made a trip to Savannah, Georgia to attend to structural damage on a house. The man used Delta Private Jets to book his flight.

Michigan alum Richard Rogel owns the jet but leases it out to Delta when he is not using it. The plane departed Friday morning from Baton Rouge and returned on Sunday afternoon at 2:11 pm.


Worst effin case of timing ever?

Excuse me if I don't completely buy this...

Whatever's brah. Miles has confirmed there will be a meeting and Dave Brandon's plane will be in Baton Rouge at 5 pm. I let WBRZ know so they can get their asses out their and get some more stalker video.

I hope WBRZ can confirm the veracity of this report. I seriously doubt that this is true.

A couple who needs to repair their home uses one of the most prominent UM booster's private plane at a time when UM just so happens to be interested in Miles....yeah, and if you sit too close to the TV, it will cause blindness.

Give me a fricking break WBRZ.

I told everyone this yesterday and got my arse chewed.

re: Michigan Jet landed in Baton Rouge on Sunday (Posted on 1/9/11 at 2:37 p.m. to Chicken)

Hate to kill the thread, but.....

This is a charter with no connection to Michigan. Nothing more than a wealthy person that painted his plane that way.

I have seen this plane many times in Baton Rouge and know those that work closely with the pilots.

This plane has nothing to do with Miles.

_______________________________________________

I spoke directly with those involved yesterday and the flight had nothing to do with Miles.

It has been entertaining to watch everyone get so emotional about it though.

Where would you prefer it to be? The same people may have another flight to Georgia scheduled this week and they leave the plane here rather than burn avgas flying it back to its home airport only to fly it back tomorrow or the next day.

The second plane coming to BR (if it's true) is more troubling. The timing of it arriving the day of or before Miles is supposed to go to Dallas is a bad sign for us Miles' supporters.

Or, 'buy' it?

When has WBRZ ever been wrong before? (That's for Mike Caubs in case he's reading this thread.)

People thought I was stupid for offering up the notion that plane owners actually do lease their jets out...

FYI they don't move these jets until they have to either...costs them $$$
So this thing could sit there for the next 10 days if nooone needs it

Assuming this is all true, someone at Delta Charter Jets has a really shitty sense of timing or a wicked sense of humor.

Or they were just completely oblivious to the fact that a plane with Michigan on the tail might cause a little stir in Baton Rouge when Michigan has a coaching vacancy and their #1 prospect is in Baton Rouge.

So call us whatever you want, but shouldn't the folks at Delta Charter Jets have EXPECTED someone to notice and be a little curious?

That plane was in Baton Rouge back in Oct 2010 for 2 days and didn't come back to BTR until this week. So if you've seen it many times it must have been before October 2010.

Again, you may be 100% correct but their timing could not be worse for chartering that plane into or out of Baton Rouge.

Agreed. The Timing does suck.

I would not be surprised to see that Tail number blocked in the future.

I did see it in October and before that as well. The first time I saw it I immediately thought UM was here for Miles or something along those lines. But, was informed by those that know for sure that this was not Miles related.

Now, if this other plane is headed this way...

Look out!
