COCS Plans Mixed Use Development

Three SEC teams have been affected by the FAA’s ground stop that was instituted Friday. It includes Texas A&M’s opponent, the Tennessee Volunteers, who were unable to leave Knoxville’s McGhee-Tyson airport before air travel was halted. Their slated departure time of 3:00pm (Central Time) coincided with the announcement by the FAA. At this time (8:00pm), the status of Saturday’s Aggies/Vols football game is TBD. The SEC has reportedly informed A&M to prepared for the possibility of a potential delay in kickoff time, or even pushing the game to Sunday. It will all depend on when the ground stop is lifted and when the Volunteer football team is cleared to take off. According to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, “air space was opened” at 8:15pm Eastern Time. A bus ride from Knoxville to College Station would take about 14.5 hours. Auburn opted for the 4.5 hour bus ride to Starkville for their 11:00am matchup at Mississippi State. The other SEC match-ups that are still up in the air (no pun intended), are Ole Miss at Oklahoma (3:15pm) and Texas at LSU (6:30pm). A bus ride from Oxford, MS to Norman, OK would take roughly 8.5 hours. Should the Longhorns decide to board a bus for Baton Rouge, that trip would take approximately 7 hours. The country’s top ranked Georgia Bulldogs may be short a few members of their coaching staff. While their 2:30pm game against Missouri is in Athens, Head Coach Kirby Smart tells ESPN that he had coaches out on recruiting trips Friday. Smart adds, “Maybe if we actually had regional conferences, we could just drive to the games.” We recommend following Aggie Football on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AggieFootball.
