Is that the policy that applies to FAA grounding flights?
The ground stop ended at 8:00 last night. American Airlines flew a plane full of Ole Miss fans from Memphis to OKC after the ground stop, The ground stop is not the ultimate reason that Ole Miss hasn’t traveled yet: it’s because Ole Miss chose a charter operator with no flexibity. Same thing could have happened without a ground stop if one of the pilots came down with the flu or the aircraft had a mechanical issue.

A less than 5 hour delay of flights does not equal an "extraordinary circumstance" as witnessed to by every other team showing up today at their appointed time to play. Flight delays happen all the time.

The AD that successfully got the game moved is incapable?

Interesting perspective.

Our flight delay was not 5 hours. It caused our delay to be closer to 17 hours due to flight crews.

An 8.5 hour overnight bus ride on zero notice the night before the game?

Show me when that happened with any team.


Ole Miss sounds like a university that has never had to solve a real problem in its existence.

US News: Ole Miss acceptance rate

Yup. Ole Miss has solved the problem of adult daycare.

Why did Sankey side with us over OU when apparently everyone else knows we were in the wrong?

Because he has a history of bad policy.

you guys know this qualifies as an extraordinary circumstance.




Yes, this is so extraordinary that only one school was unable to figure it out.


Truly shocking for a D1 university.

97% acceptance rate.

They are more like an adult daycare than a D1 university.

You got caught up in the leagues hate for LSU. Ole Miss is now their darling since Lane hurt their feelings.

You are talking to a fanbase that still can’t grasp the fact that Trinidad should have never been granted a sixth year by some hillbilly, backwoods judge

A couple hundred people enduring a bus ride is better than hitting tens of thousands of FANS (you know the ones who pay the bills) in their wallet.

Ole Miss has zero shot to make the playoffs after losing by 40 to Georgia so if any team has a lot to lose by last minute travel it sure as heck isn’t Ole Miss lol if this were a playoff lock team I guess I could semi understand their reasoning

That’s why the SEC should be located in the Southeast— not in the old west.

shite happens. Ole Miss has a complicated airport situation similar to Penn State’s, and that involves human beings with human lives who have to be hired and paid to fly the planes. If they’re unavailable at a certain time, then you have to wait until they’re available.

Unless somebody has proof that Ole Miss intentionally dragged arse on this, the verdict is NOT GUILTY.

Start a class action lawsuit against Sankey on behalf of all the aggrieved parties in Oklahoma.

People get the flu.
People get the rona.

It is weird that planes seem to depart and arrive with minimal delay all across the country.

Getting a 5 hour delay is somehow more complicated than 24-36 hour illnesses.

No it isn’t weird. I explained it.

To refute this, you’ll need a list of available pilots/stewards in Oxford last night at that hour.

(Didn’t think so)
