This is why the internet was made lol
Dudes comments are hilarious
Finally, all my interests have converged!
While I agree that this is being handled poorly by the SEC, it is largely out of the hands of Ole Miss. The Ole Miss charter situation is a bit different than that of most other programs.
Ole Miss charters via JetBlue operating out of Tupelo Regional Airport, an hour bus trip from Oxford. KTUP is a small airport with little scheduled commercial traffic, it is uncontrolled after 10pm, and is not a hub or base of operations for JetBlue.
Due to the nationwide ground stop, the JetBlue crew operating the Ole Miss charter certainly would have timed out their duty day before the aircraft could depart.
Since it isn't a hub or base of operations, no relief crew would have been available to operate the charter tonight and no commercial flights departed from or arrived at KTUP after the ground stop was lifted so none could be flown in.
That means the earliest Ole Miss can depart would be when the rest period for the assigned crew is up, 10 hours, which only begins after the duty day ends. Depending on when that occurred, it is possible their next duty day couldn't even begin until after 8am. Add in an hour to bus/pre-flight, an hour to board, an hour and a half flight into Oklahoma City, an hour to load onto buses and half an hour to bus to Norman it would have been early afternoon before Ole Miss could get to OU.
Even if kick was delayed until evening, that would be pushing it in terms of player safety and it is also unclear if the SEC even offered a late Saturday kick time as an option.
Could an all-out last ditch effort made it work? Sure. But is an Ole Miss-Oklahoma game in mid-November worth making that all-out last ditch effort at the risk of player safety? I would personally say no. Unfortunately that means Oklahoma fans, through no fault of their own, get screwed. Knowing OU fans as I do, they'll find a way to make it hell on Ole Miss Sunday.

Pretty crazy stuff! Take a look
Okay I normally just joke on this app but I have to be serious for a second. I got information from a friend still in Marines that this FAA hack is much worse than they are telling us. We have ACTIVE terrorist cells planning to attend college football games. Photos of them and More info below. 👇

FAA NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP: WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON'T
There is a lot of speculation circulating about the FAA's nationwide ground stop, so I wanted to provide some context on what is being reported and why a ground stop would be necessary.
Initial reports identified problems at Chicago Center involving air traffic control radio frequencies and the automation systems used to transfer aircraft between controllers. The disruption reportedly affected other air traffic control facilities across the country, although where the failure originated has not yet been established.
These systems are essential for maintaining communication with pilots and coordinating aircraft as they move between different sectors of airspace. When those capabilities are disrupted, the FAA can issue a ground stop to keep additional aircraft from entering the system until operations can safely resume. It is a precautionary measure intended to protect aircraft and passengers.
Has something similar happened before? Yes. In January 2023, the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop following a failure of its NOTAM system, which provides critical flight information to pilots. Although the circumstances were different, it is an example of how a technical failure can disrupt aviation operations nationwide.
There is certainly reason to be concerned when critical aviation infrastructure experiences a disruption of this magnitude. However, a system failure does not automatically mean a cyberattack, terrorism, sabotage, or some other malicious activity is responsible.
The questions we should be asking are what failed, where the problem originated, what caused it, and whether the backup systems functioned as intended. Those are legitimate concerns that deserve answers, particularly given the importance of our aviation infrastructure to national security.
Until more information becomes available, we should be careful about drawing conclusions or amplifying speculation that is not supported by the facts.
This is the world we live in.
People would rather have the video then try and figure out a way to potentially help in a situation like this.
I couldn’t imagine someone’s worst moment in their life and they look up and see people point a camera at them to video it.

Am I the only one who remembers @TexasFootball going to Neyland and winning where nobody else has this year and @Vol_Football dismantling @AlabamaFTBL on that same field?!! The @SEC hierarchy doesn’t seem that difficult at the top to me?!!
Can’t wait to record our next episode of The Group Chat so I can hear @AlyssaLang @ESPNDari and @BenjaminSWatson try to justify this ⬇️

I say often: The most underreported part of collegiate athletics is the incredible character of the young people playing the games.
Example:
I spent 15 minutes Monday with @Vol_Football LB Arion Carter, who is leveraging his immense talent to raise money this season for cancer charities.
Following the 2025 season, Carter declared for the 2026 NFL draft, but a foot injury sent him back to UT for another season. Ahead of the combine, he'd taken a $427 flight to a workout, paid for by an agency. He repaid the $427 and self-reported it to the NCAA. The NCAA still suspended him for the first game of the 2026 season.
"I understand that rules are rules," Carter said. "I understood I can't control those circumstances I got put in. But I can control my emotions, how I deal with it, how I address the situation and carry myself. I chose to understand God had a bigger plan for me -- and when I do come back, knowing what I will do."
Rather than sulk, he chose to use the setback for good, in honor of his girlfriend Mariah Bryant, who had been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.
He donates $427 for every tackle, $500 for every TFL, $1000 for every INT and $5000 for every defensive touchdown.
He tells me folks impacted by cancer contact him, inspired by his initiative to help those in need.
"A lot of people live blue collar lives, that go to work every day and don't make the amount of money that some of these college kids make in NIL, and have to pay for these medical bills and go through these difficult things," Carter said. "A lot of people don't understand that frustration. It impacts people in ways we don't even know -- especially financially. So when they come to me and tell me that they were struggling to pay bills and have to raise three kids, and then do (extra) to make ends meet, and still worry about their own health while taking care of other people, it means the world to me to be able to help and let them know that are people in the world who do care, and want to see people like them, who do go through tragic things, that we have their back."
So far in 2026, Carter has raised $27,193.
An amazing example for us all.
We talk NIL/portal/expansion incessantly, but I talk to players in-person and by phone every week, and invariably leave every conversation so impressed.

Can i just say one thing about The United States of America real quick? (We’re on a flight home from two weeks in Asia and the Middle East).
We were driving across the Sri Lankan country side and I saw a guy on a John Deere tractor. I looked it up. John Deere, Largest agricultural equipment manufacturer on Earth. Started in 1837 in Grand Detour, Illinois by a man named John Deere.
I’ll keep going.
If you get on an airplane anywhere on this planet, odds are it’s a Boeing. William Boeing, 1916, Seattle Washington.
Go to any cafe on the globe and you can drink a Coca Cola. Created in Atlanta, Georgia by a man named John pemberton in 1886.
Everyone communicates using Whatsapp. Founded in Mountain View, CA in 2009 by two buddies, Brian Acton and Jan Koum.
Every vehicle is navigating the Globe using Google Maps. Google, started in the garage of Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Menlo Park California. 1996.
Pfizer distributes medicine in every single country on Earth. Charles Pfizer in 1849, Brooklyn, New York.
Amazon products are served in every single country on earth. Also started in his garage by a man name Jeff Bezos in Seattle Washington in 1994.

Our Qatar Airways flight attendant said she can’t wait to get to Dallas to go to Walmart to get vitamins for her family. Sam Walton, 1962, Rogers, Arkansas.
This list could literally go on for days. That should fill every American with tremendous pride for this country, its founders, its people, its opportunities, and its contributions to the planet.
Sure we have our flaws, but I can’t wait to get back to America and not drink sparkling water anymore (whoever invented that needs to be in prison), not have to use Kilometers or Celsius anymore, and sink my teeth into a Chick-fil-A sandwich (Truett Cathy, Hapeville, Georgia 1964)
God Bless America.

I've walked by those 100 times during games. Never heard crowd noise from them.
Here is a picture of one of the speakers at Neyland that pumps in crowd/band noise
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These speakers do not “pump in crowd noise”, they amplify music from the band and DJ (like other stadiums), which is why they’re facing the crowd.

TENNESSEE: Loved the plan. Usage of the bigs went a long way. OL physical, finished. Working in young QB in run game helped. Good job with formations. Especially in short yardage. Misdirection key for some conversions. QB poised. Made some nice throws. Missed a few down the field. Pass pro not the best, missed some pressures. 18 great again. 17 gave them explosive run. 4 was awesome. Good blocking out wide. Center really good on combos. 70 good in run game, got after it. Liked how they varied run schemes. Secondary good in run support. Front disrupted. 7 all over, physical, fast. LBs good with run through. 4 attacked quick game. The opposing ion was impacted by the environment. Good vs play action. Had some issues vs run on edges. Dosing turn it over. Limited flags. Huge win.
