They are also come in yesterday instead of their usual Friday. I wonder if this is them "out thinking" themselves. While I appreciate the effects of jet lag, a 3:30 game on the east coast is not really different than a 12:30 kickoff at home. I appreciate it took them 8 hours to get here (5 hour flight with a 3 hour time change), but I don't think they needed to get on EDT as it appears they did. But what do I know? We'll see tomorrow.

IDK. Maintaining circadian rhythm is important for non-athletes, and it is more important for athletes. Charles Huff, HC of Memphis, hired a sleep expert when Memphis traveled to Vegas.

More like they want to spend some time sightseeing in NYC

Makes sense for both teams. Arizona cardinals offset the cost of maintaining the jet, paying flight crew, stewardesses, and lower per hour operating costs. Also little known fact, Modern aircraft do not do well just sitting on the tarmac. Modern big jet airframes, engines, flight controls, avionics are built to basically keep running non stop for tens of thousands of flight hours. Those systems are built to be run basically non stop. Probably a good deal for both teams. Maybe Rutgers should strike a deal with th jets or Giants.

"Makes sense"

"Good deal"

Never happen.

Apparently
the plane contains 28 lie down seats, 48 business class seats, and 90 premium seats
That’s a nice configuration. A lot of programs charter in the B1G including ours. Talked to the USC women’s vball coach at BWI when flying to Maryland. He told me they fly public to schools with an airport with an hour. If it’s more than that charter. Assume that goes for all of their programs. Our lax team flies one to three times a year. They charter. It’s all very common in the conference. The difference is SC is chartering a luxury plane. Good to be them. Alums there have a lot of money and they like winning. Wife is an SC alum. It’s part of the culture. They learn early. You will donate to the school when you graduate. It’s expected of you.

Giants would bend them over, if they even took the call. Jets I picture a DC-4 like in Major League.

And then the exposé and scandal articles from the local media.

But will they be ready for the violence that RU is going to unleash? I've read that the RU LBs are bad dudes, though there has been no evidence of their Bad Dudeness so far this season. Maybe they're bored.
No, no, no- it's the Offensive Line is the violent unit. Talk is cheap. Action is hard.

We'll see who's laughing after our defense takes it sweet old time getting off the field after USC substitutions. Plus they're probably thinking and preparing for our kick return game. Ha, jokes on them here in fair catch country.

They ain't ready for that kind of 4D Chess.

I had just that experience this week reinforcing that about Rutgers. They never get it right, and it never ceases to amaze on the level of dysfunction.
Thank God Coach Brecht has been able to shield the lacrosse program from the malaise of the U. That’s a tight run organization. I have noticed since Zinn has been here things on the communication/fundraising front have gotten noticeably better. She knows how to build that apparatus. The U as a whole could learn a lot

Perhaps they'll be fooled by the RU QB gesturing wildly to audible from a run up the middle to a run to the left after staring at the sideline until the play clock runs down to 5 seconds. Or be intimidated by the Wacky Wild Arm Waving Inflatable Tube Man imitations on punts and kickoffs.

Which will require much more exertion than they will need in the game. Insider intel: there’s no team curfew and Maiava will take a knee on the first snap and then get the rest of the game off.
