Granted I am not playing FBS-level football, but I have flown close to 50k miles in the past six weeks as an AARP-eligible dude on business ... none of the long hauls back & forth to South Pacific in business class. These relatively short hops between Virginia & New Mexico are not as big of a deal as some are suggesting. A319s/A320s may not have bells and whistles but they are reasonable from passenger comfort experience. They don't require much recovery time on these length flights.

Now back to playing at elevation, 3900 feet is still a factor for our guys. Hopefully their ABQ experience has them taking hydration and oxygen more seriously this week. Las Cruces is a cool little town along the Rio. I wish I could score some Hatch-infused grub this weekend. Alas it isn't going to work out.
