I think they land in Gainesville and go by bus.

The LSU women track team flew delta to Orlando for one meet, but I don't think the FB team does.

I can see the Ocala airport from where I work...it's basically across the street

just wondering if anyone knew so I could peer out of the window... the SID mentioned in the press conference Monday that they fly out at 12:30 (I assume CST) Friday and are staying here at the Ocala Hilton like every other SEC team does.

that would put them touching down at around 3:30 local time or around there. wanted to know if anyone knew what the jet looked like or if they were using Ocala's small airfield or if they were flying into Orlando

The team flies into Gainesville and busses to its hotel in Ocala. Flies out of Gainesville after the game.

I heard that Coach Miles had them take off the American Flag on the tale and paint his own logo on the back

Wrong - the SEC will not allow any team to fly in and out of Gainesville - to much weather dependancy on other cities...even though we have our own plan we fly into Jacksonville and drive over, it is a 45 minute drive.

Cool. JAX has a great airport and much quicker in & out than ORL.

Ole Miss flew out of Orlando when they came two weeks ago I believe. I would have guessed Orlando for LSU... Jacksonville is a LONG drive to Ocala.. it is not 45 mins to Gainesville, more like 75 mins through back country highways... add an extra 40 mins to that drive if they are staying in Ocala... Orlando to Ocala is only about an hour straight interstate
