A flight from SFO (nobody flies to London from OAK) to LHR is gonna be around 11 hours. That's gonna total to a full day's worth of time where they can't train or do anything else useful.

They charter all their flights, that way they have control over the departures and arrivals. London-Oakland would be a direct flight with bye week after for the west coast teams. Teams would operate as they do for back to back opposite coast games- they would go east, have a game, then go on to London. They would recover as they normally do with a direct flight back to the west coast. The week on the east coast would be spent planning, recovering, and practicing at a rented facility. This is done whenever an east or west coast team has back to back games on the opposite coast, it's simply easier for them.
The trip is only going to be made every six to eight years for 28 of the 31 other teams, barring playoff matchups.

Fuck Penn State and the fact that the NCAA didn't Southern Methodist their football program.

So before the game one of my co-workers told me that Ohio State was supposedly on "upset watch."
It's now 63-7, so LOLOLOLOLOL.
And the Buckeyes just got a touchdown. I'm glad that they've decided to continue running up the score, fuck Penn State. Here's hoping they break 70.

One thing I always hated about the Buckeys...other than the insistance that the word "THE" is somehow important to the entire name of a university...is they always manage to make you look like an idiot for predicting they would lose. They don't lose when you want them to lose. They don't lose when your predict them to lose. :cry:

Instant replay in baseball can't come soon enough. The hell with the "tradition" of blindness, bad calls, moronic bowing to the crew chief's word when all evidence is to the contrary: they need to institute it. :oops: :x
