Well, looks like there’s not a lot of air options in the greater Oxford area, even after the grounding got lifted.
And yes, Boomer Nation and their AD ain’t happy about it, at all.
Funny, Ole Miss has a field sponsorship with Progressive Auto Insurance, so couldn’t they have sprung for a bus, or maybe some Ubers? They could’ve played some Widespread Panic on the speakers for the long ride to Norman to keep Pete happy, at any rate.
Methinks that Kirby and Schumann’s defensive destruction of Trinidad and To-buy-go may have grounded Ole Miss for the rest of the season.
In other news, this may be the only way that Mateer plays a game on a Sunday for the rest of his career. Possibly Trinidad, too.
Cough.
Norman is only about 8 hours from Oxford. That’s some weak ass excuse making by the Rebs.
Agreed, maybe one of Widespread Pete’s superstitions before road games is making sure to jam out to “Airplane” on the flight, and he wasn’t willing to risk it….
Smatter, Ole Miss couldn’t ride the dog?
Pete Golding is embarrassing.
I don’t understand why they planned to leave so late. When the Dawgs fly, they leave on Friday morning.
Your spoiled you’ve forgotten have long it takes to recover from an epic national embarrassment. 😉
I hope you never remember.
”Only Sunday game he’ll play”…OUCH! Welcome back Dawg with a bite!
It just looks like an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce the home team advantage. Ole Miss and their soon to be fired head coach look even worse now. That’s quite a feat after last week.
I’m guessing they couldn’t get a crew and that plane was expected to be elsewhere today.
The other thing, scuba, is that neither team wants the short week especially Oklahoma. They have to turn around and play 11am next week in Norman against TAMU. It won’t be a problem with Ole Miss … they play Wofford at 11 am.
BTW, I do think the SEC should have said find a way … even if that meant using campus buses to get them there.
We played South Carolina on Sunday several years ago.
No big deal
That was due to a hurricane.
I agree on the plane and air crew part. Pretty sure that was a requirement for the SEC to grant a Sunday game against the NFL.
They didn’t have to fly. I’ll still believe coach Pete didn’t mind the Sunday option. Totally agree with that last sentence.
Where there’s a will there’s a way. Ole Sis took the easy road.
i hope the rebel black bear sharks enjoyed every damn minute of their time from katy perry and her corndog to the lsu win this year because those silver spooned rejects are about to walk back into their wilderness wanderings.
If they wanted to get there, they could have. They had a charter plane and could have gotten another one. Any excuse is bullshit.
I dunno. You just don’t order up a charter flight with pilots impromptu like an Uber. The crew who was scheduled to take them had likely exceeded the time limit on shift which prevented them from leaving late after the FAA lifted the ground stop.
So, the SEC threatens OU with a forfeit if they don’t move the game to SUN. But they don’t threaten Ole Piss with a forfeit if they don’t find a way to get to the game on SAT??? They could have moved the kickoff to later in the day and not f-ed the OU fans…oh wait, they don’t care about the fans…
I was about to board a flight in DCA yesterday afternoon when I got word about the ground stop. Some quick scrambling and a midnight train to Georgia and I’m back in the ATL about to head to Athens for the game. And I don’t get paid for this shit…
Gladys Night and the Pips. I know I would have been humming it on that train.
Shit that sounds like fun! Nice pivot, Dawg.
Oklahoma says Ole Miss should have been here Sooner.
winner winner chicken dinner!
c’est bon Monsieur! GTPr hall of fame post.
Bottom Line
Who gives a Shit
Lane Kiffin, probably. Stalking the old girlfriend and hoping she’s not well.
Give you that
🤣
We do because it allows us to drag Ole Miss
This is what you get when you have a commissioner like Greg Sankey. Weak AF.
