Just saw on the local news that Auburn had to get off the plane in Columbus, Georgia. They are at Mississippi State tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

There are some big games tomorrow with teams currently grounded, such as Texas at LSU and Utah at Arizona.

I suppose those are close enough for bus rides, though that wouldn't be fun for those teams. But the NY Times says that Washington could not make their flight to Michigan State, and has "no plans" in place to get there.

Plus, there is the issue of whether game officials can arrive as well.

Arizona State was supposed to fly out early this afternoon to Orlando. No clue what’s gonna happen with that game.

Yeah that's a real tough one, no chance for a quick bus ride, LOL.

Alabama is at Vandy. They have a university owned plane they normally use but took the bus.

Even if it’s close, I imagine hiring busses at the last minute isn’t easy.

Has Herbstreit made it to Boise yet?

I would guess that given the priority the football team seems to have in that state, Alabama either has its own buses, or else they can snap their fingers and have several luxury motorcoaches at their place in no time at all.

They could’ve taken buses in the first place, software failure or not. The ride isn’t too far.

Purdue decided to take the bus to Iowa City instead of flying.

It’s a four hour drive from Auburn to Starkville.

That's nothing, like going from Houston to Dallas (or Dallas to Houston).

So the Cowboys take a bus when they play the Texans?

Ole Miss-Oklahoma could be pushed to Sunday, per reports.

Minnesota say they're grounded but I bet they're just scared.

Media is reporting that the flight ban has been lifted.

If they had to they could. UH was taking a bus to the AAC Tournament in 2020 in Fort Worth when Covid happened.
