Well I fly a lot and delays makes me piss. I feel for Iowa.
Hope it takes Iowa 3 days to get there.
I wondered if it looked a little like this?

I'm not saying they didnt actually leave yesterday but when I was coming into starkville this morning 3 or 4 of the State Charter Buses were getting into 82 E headed in the direction of the airport with a MHP escort
Evidently the chartered plane had mechanical problems... so the majority of team and coaches got to Tampa a day late....
Also, not sure if any major airlines fly out of Iowa.
Correct.
Checked it. 8 from the SEC are ahead of Iowa in terms of annual revenue.
Iowa is a state with 3 million population and is 4th in the B1G in terms of budget (behind Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State - very populous states).
No doubt the BTN has been a boon to our budget.
Not trying to compare Iowa with the southern schools in terms of funds - and very envied relative to the talent SEC teams bring in.
Just saying, Ferentz is an ex-NFL coach and the longest tenured FBS coach in the land with a lot of power...he doesn't cut corners on operations.
That's it.
Peace.
Cohen had the team drive to Atlanta where he had them on standby for some cheap flights to Tampa. Said he was going to make up some of the money Stricklin pissed away on hashtag research.**
