crap. Now I gotta buy tickets asap. People gonna wanna go now.

[BM1090]

Brutal. Don't think I can make it anymore.

[mubb3434]

Well that's going to do some serious damage to the crowd numbers

I mentioned this in another thread, Arizona had all kinds of travel problems trying to get to Champaign tonight. Any team flying to the Midwest tonight had major problems getting in.

Also, game moved to FS2.

👎

[MU82]

That blows, but out of our control so whattayagonnado?

Hopefully UCLA arrives safely, obviously ... but it wouldn't break my heart if all this knocks them off their game a bit!

UCLA plane was forced to land in Denver due to mechanical issues. Due to the weather and widespread flight cancellations elsewhere, UCLA elected to spend the night in Denver and fly to Milwaukee in the morning. MU agreed to push the tip back late for Saturday night.

FS2 is the biggest bummer of the whole situation.

Ughhh.  That blows

Hope this doesn't screw up our childcare plans. Guess we're lucky the Bucks aren't also playing tomorrow.

I think it really hurts the crowd potential.  What a bummer.

We were bringing the kids tomorrow. 8:30 start makes that impossible...Should be a fun morning of Logistics 101

[MuggsyB]

Since there's no football why couldn't the game be on Fox??

[1SE]

Boo

[4everwarriors]

WN blows again, aina?

[rocket surgeon]

...and, we're out of coffee

[LeftyWarrior]

This just sucks. Have my Christmas work party downtown tonight and was going to make a day of it. Looks like I will be listing my tickets for sale later today. Was really looking forward to the best non-conference game in many years. Understand the issue, but really ruins what was going to be a great day.

Not ideal. But I expect a strong student section after a whole day of getting ready. Hopefully athletic dept does some sort of pizzas and stuff for students to keep energy high

It's winter break, no?

[JakeBarnes]

It's winter break, no?

Oof. If so, then this is very much not ideal.

Pretty sure next week is Finals week.  They wouldn't have sent MU to Kansas during Finals.

This could be advantageous. This really screws up any type of away game prep/process UCLA typically follows.

I think you are right. Hopefully this bodes well for students packing the FF.

But seriously, some outreach and maybe free tix for those studying in the libraries if they don't have season tix. Gotta pack it with students at a minimum

As long as they get out here at a reasonable time, that seems unlikely. They'll still be able to go through full walk-throughs and practice. Had we told them the 1:30 time was going as planned and they didn't land in Milwaukee until 10:30 am, I'd agree, but pushing it back seems to allow them full prep & process.
