Florida State flies tonight as well so it should be a wash.I fly to London at least once annually
It is overnight and lands about 7 am. With the 5 hour loss in time, small seats with little leg room, two lousy meals, it is very difficult to get even 2 hours sleep. IMO Key is not allowing these kids enough rest before the game. He seems to believe that is typical behavior of these players, but this is a big risk. I hope I am wrong. It takes me a couple of days to adjust. Even my son who lives there says it takes him a couple of days.
Perhaps I closed down the club named "I hated the new coach before TFP left".I fly to London at least once annually

If it is a charter, they may have larger seats (like all business class). That helps some but obviously still an affect on the body.I fly to London at least once annually

AJC said charter but can’t find details on the usual flight websites.
Not super helpful but we at least have a timeline.The Jackets are scheduled to practice Wednesday morning on campus. Later that night they will depart on a charter flight for Dublin where they are scheduled to train at noon local time Thursday on the practice field at Aviva Stadium.
Not related to the thread but win or lose I just pray the flight is safe and we don't have a 1970 Marshall situation. It'll probably be fine but my ADHD *** gets anxious.
sorry about that, I just have a small fear of flying. I don't freak out on planes, hell I flew when I went to Europe earlier this year, but I always get a little anxious when a plane I'm on is taking off and landing.View attachment 16566
Damn man… Maybe don’t share that complete thought and let’s just pray for a safe trip and injury free game?
The time adjustment is the thing. You advance time going east but kickoff at 5pm in Dublin will be noon here. Just like playing a noon game against the Dukies.Tire these guys out in Thursday's practice and keep them up until bed time, get a good night sleep, easy day friday and they should be fine for Saturday. 5 hours time diffence is no big deal for young athletes.
8+ hours for middle aged men that drink too much on the way over is a huge deal. I know this well![]()
I sure hope so.If it is a charter, they may have larger seats (like all business class). That helps some but obviously still an affect on the body.
AMEN to that prayer for all fans and both teams.Not related to the thread but win or lose I just pray the flight is safe and we don't have a 1970 Marshall situation. It'll probably be fine but my ADHD *** gets anxious.
That's the story.I may not be remembering correctly, but didn’t Bobinsky try to have the team fly over to Dublin in a cargo plane the last time?
From what I've seen... never mind.sorry about that, I just have a small fear of flying. I don't freak out on planes, hell I flew when I went to Europe earlier this year, but I always get a little anxious when a plane I'm on is taking off and landing.
Was looking for that earlier and couldn't find it. FSU's flight: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/EIN412G/history/20240822/0110Z/KTLH/EIDWFound it - Air Lingus as suspected. Didn't show earlier today. EIN4078
