WIU vs South Dakota State (11/21/2015)

Fri Nov 20, 2015 1:03 pm

Here's the current weather map. They're supposed to be flying from [st]Sioux Falls to Peoria (pretty sure that's their flight)[/st], so you can see how there might be some issues.

EDIT: had a link to the flight tracking page for their charter flight, but it stopped working. don't know if that means the flight was cancelled, or they rescheduled it somehow, or are using a different plane. I'll try to keep up-to-date with what's going on.

What do you think the odds are for them changing the game time or even moving it to Sunday? My plans have changed. They upgraded me to a suite here in Richmond and I liked it so much, I am staying an extra day. I have a 60" LG in my office/meeting area to enjoy the game tomorrow.

Seal Hall will be toasty-warm while ST_Lawson and I are out in that freezing weather!

The USF game at Henderson State was moved back to 4 PM to allow for more travel time.

hehe....yup.

As for changing the game time/day, they could push it back to later in the day (although it'll be colder the later they go). They can't really push it back to Sunday though because the playoff selection show is at 10 AM and this game will at least determine where SDSU ends up in the playoff bracket.
