Just saw a post from a girl in marching mizzou and they are already three hours behind and stuck in the snow/ice. Highway/Interstate is not moving. I believe they are still in southern Illinois maybe northern Kentucky. She said one of the buses broke down (not sure if mechanical or if it is stuck in snow bank somewhere).. hopefully everyone gets there safely and all of the gear.

Does the team fly? I sure hope they are.

The team flies. They won't have any problems. The band will make it, I have no doubt. Maybe not until tomorrow morning, but they'll make it!

Obviously the team will make it and can fly if they need to, but this does bring up a good question. If there was just a massive, blizzard like occurance or tornados or something that absolutely prevented one of the teams from getting there before kickoff, what would happen? Would they postpone until later that night, the next day? Could they play on Monday?

With bowl selections needing to be made ASAP it seems like they'd have to play as soon as humanly possible instead of waiting until the following saturday.

We had a bus break down half way across kansas on the way to play at Colorado vs Missouri. We were supposed to get to Boulder in the evening. I think it was 1am or 2am when we finally pulled into our hotel. That. Sucked.

I can't imagine how.

I have a family member flying in. His flight to Atlanta was fine, no delays, he flew from St. Louis. The team had to delay their walk through by an hour due to a short delay. I think it's the people driving that will have problems.

Freshmen had to ride on a yellow school bus the rest of the way.
