Anyone have any insight on whether or not the team will be able to travel to Fayetteville for tomorrow night's game (1/31) given the winter weather situation? The weather there looks pretty messy at the moment.

I would think they're already there

I'd think as long as you have airport ground crews that can de-ice wings there's no issue. I've landed and taken off in blizzard conditions before.

Not that this is helpful, but it's been pouring sleet since about 10:45 this morning. We got freezing rain overnight up here. It's not going to get above freezing. My wife is traveling home from Key West tomorrow so I'm looking at flight arrival/departures. It's been a mixed bag thus far. Some cancelations, some diverting, some delays, some arriving. Hard to tell what's going to happen. I would think the Ags arrived this morning, so they could've beaten the bad stuff. I should just run down to the Embassy Suites in Rogers and check on em.

Ok very good on all of that. That would be funny if TexasAGGIEinAR went to the team hotel to check on the team.

I've run into the women's track team at the Neighborhood Market down the road from Embassy. And the tennis team in Torchy's. 99% chance they're staying there and maybe a welfare check is in order!

They usually travel the day before the game. The 737 they often take brought the women home from Nashville yesterday and has not taken off from Easterwood yet (or if it did, they didn't file a flight plan). I'll post if I see anything pop up.

I think we usually practice before flying out the day before a game. Maybe that schedule changes with potential weather issues though.

All United flights into XNA today are now canceled due to weather. Tomorrow looks worse.

I'm guessing this is it. 737 non-stop

XNA's website still shows they're either on time or delayed. Where did you find that info? Only curious as to what it looks like for the rib to get home tomorrow; even though she's flying American.

Yup that's it. They must have just filed that flight plan, it wasn't there when I posted earlier.

Looks like Fayetteville is going to stay a little bit to the north of the bad ice accumulation, but what's already there isn't going to be melting for a few days. May get some snow.

If y'all are in the DFW area it could get pretty rough by Wednesday morning.

No, leave in Fayetteville. Maybe we get a lot turnout from the Arkansas fans as a result of the weather. Get another road win on the resume.

I dunno. If they can get there and they've been drinking all day and are generally pissed off that may be worse than usual rather than better.

Leave it in Arkansas. We need a other road Quad 1 win!

Another uniform screw up.

Cleaners accidentally sent our road unis to Wichita State.

Just a quick stop there to pick them up.

Live in Bentonville. It's not a great situation and will likely only get worse over the next couple of days.

Interesting. Looks like the precipitation in Fayetteville is going to stop around 8pm and not start up again until tomorrow mid-day, but it's going to stay frozen … hopefully they can get the runways salted down and safe enough to travel, otherwise there isn't going to be a window to travel there (or back to CS either) for a couple days.

They were thinking of taking a train to Fayetteville but turns out train don't run out of Wichita unless you're a hog or a cattle.

According to Travis Brown (the eagle), the team took a bus from Wichita to Tulsa yesterday night. It will take another bus from Tulsa to Fayetteville.

I hope they make it safely and that all extra hours of the trip does not affect their performance tomorrow night.

I am not a logistics wizard but wouldn't getting to Memphis have made more sense.

Looks like there is a window this morning to make it over before the afternoon, where they may get more weather.

Bad weather was already in Memphis if I recall correctly.

We're supposed to get ice again starting around 11:00 and last until around 3:00. It'll be around a 2 hour bus ride from Tulsa. They better get it in gear!

Team had better be on road now, as freezing precipitation in NW AR will start late morning

Big disadvantage. They should have called it.
