They should have taken the bus.

Considering how many days basketball is away from campus, I find this to be a false narrative concern.

How many consecutive days is golf gone?

With online classes being the norm now, the rush to rush back for the 2 days a year football is away on a week night?

Yeah, it's a pretty weak excuse. I mean, by the time they boarded team buses, I imagine it was at least 11 PM. Then if they flew back from Ellisville. That would have been close to midnight by the time they got to the airport & offloaded buses & boarded the plane. Then fly back to Lafayette puts them on the ground about 12:40. then board the buses & get back to the complex 1:15, or 1:30 as opposed to boarding buses at 2300 hours & sleeping for 4 hours until the buses arrive on campus @ 3 AM? Now, if they flew back from Gulfport that is even more asinine. As a matter of planning, I would much rather take a bus than a plane If I travel for 4 hours, or less, especially if there is onboarding & offboarding to do from buses.

you forget that Baton Rouge can turn into a several hour standstill and if there is a wreck on the basin then all bets are off, the plane ride was the right decision, the UL fans were loud and great the $6 dollar tickets that usm dumped to every trailer park in the county was pathetic, watched a trash bomb try to start a fight with two lady UL fans just over form out seat. the concessions were a joke, got a pretzel and it was so hard it probably was left over from their last home game, restrooms looked like something that belonged in a prison, aisle ended is walls, the suites are nice but all that insurance money that they got after the tornado a few years ago must have gone into someone's pocket because that stadium is pathetic.

My experience was totally different. Their fans were amazing, gracious, and courtious. Everything about the game day experience in that stadium was way better than ours. In regards to the bathroom, all that I noticed was that they actually play the radio broadcast of the game in there. Their radio broadcast is 10 times better than ours. They had tv's in the concession area to keep up with the game. Everyone in my group could not say enough about how much they enjoyed the experience other than the on field performance.

Did you two go to the same stadium for the same game?

I highly doubt any of their fans tried to start a fight with two little old ladies. They might have been hollering for their team & raising noise like that. But those are some of the nicest people anywhere, except on the football field.

And what about baseball . . .

When was the last time golf and baseball had someone academically ineligible?

Exactly one day out of the year won't help or hurt unless the prof wants to make it hurt.

2022 season.

2022 season.

Well he should have taken the bus then and he would have passed. You can tell the people who have never anything in their lives who blame a football loss on an airplane

BWK is burnt.

That is not news or news worthy. It’s certainly not worth a post.

And we had to land in new Iberia last night

That was planned due to maintenance at the LFT airport. New Iberia has one of the longest runways in the country from the old military base there. It was considered one of Russia’s top targets during the Cold War time if actual war would have broken out.

I can't buy into the "what ifs" of traveling for 4 hours. I could probably come up with 100 reasons never to leave my house.

If it really is a road block (pun) to success, leave early, create a lunch bucket mindset.

Take 90 south, make it 4:15 and go to 190

Getting past BR is a nothing burger.

If there were a little adversity it would draw the team together, weird how those things work.

The mind set was it was a school night and those kids had class the day they left and the Friday after the game. They chose to fly to get them home at a decent hour to get to class.
