Doesn’t mean it wasn’t rough for them to have to play the same day as the flight. Of course it’s not a guaranteed loss, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Are you sure about that one? That was a noon kickoff.


I think you're right. There weren't any weather issues in Baton Rouge that day. If memory serves, LSU offered to fly into Gainesville either the day of the game or even the Sunday or Monday.

It's only an hour difference in time zone.

it's only a 2 hour and 20 minute flight, no security line, players don't handle their luggage, just get on the bus to the plane, get on the plane, get off the plane and onto the bus to the stadium

That’s gonna be rough for them.

Why? I’ve never understood why this is that big of a deal. 18-23 year old dudes can wake up at 8am, sit on a plane for 2 hours, and still be at their destination for lunch time 7 hours ahead of the game. Why should this affect their play?

I think LSU is going to destroy this week. If they don’t I will be incredibly shocked.

If there's anything we learned from UCLA it's that teams can't have their schedules adjusted
So, that was it. Are we sticking to that as the excuse? Just for clarity.

Nope. Just giving my honest opinion.

I also think the coaches are taking all of this personally and actually do their jobs (motivating, game planning, etc) this week. Again, much like the players, they should have this attitude every week. Another major problem with the program.

Any other result besides domination would absolutely shock me

Probably just a near 2 hour flight. They’ll be fine.

Ask Jeremy hill. He just talked about it. It throws off your entire schedule. You have to go straight from a plane to working out to playing in an actual game. It’s not a matter of if it is an affect. It’s a matter of how much that affect will be.

Lol as if they didn't need motivation enough... I feel like everytime there is a story line like this we lose. Espcially with Ed.
