In OP'S defense it can be hard sometimes to keep up with who all hasn't flown.

CBJ said in press conference this week that a third of the travel team has never flown on a plane before. I can't believe that. How did they travel for their official visits? CBJ says he doesn't want the youth of the team to be an excuse, but he keeps talking about it, and exaggerating it. The number of freshmen in the 2 deep is exaggerated. It's all a clever ploy to keep the fan base patient. I would just like to read about something else for a change.

Both this and the stat saying 40 something players have never spent a night in the hotel before gameday seem a bit exaggerated. There are only 85 players on the team. We brought in a bunch of freshman but not half the team. Caveat, I know as much about this team as the rest of you, which is less than butch.

Apparently not. Seems like a Bama troll.

37 years old. I've flown once, but I don't remember it because I was 4. It was a distant relative's Cessna, or something similar. With 5 kids, my parents (one being a stay-at-home mom) could have never afforded for us to fly. Now that I'm grown with a wife and 3 kids, debt free and enough money to fly wherever I want, I just don't have the desire. Maybe one day.

Cancun? Cozumel? Cabo!!!

I'm going on a couples trip in December to Cabo. We are staying in a ridiculous mansion with several couples and have a fulltime chef. Sounds really fancy but it will cost me just a little more than a family game weekend with tickets, food and hotel or a cabin.

Fly on points earned by using a credit card for everything, but you have to pay it off each month to make it work.

This is the place. And I repeat, it costs me almost as much to take my family to a football game for 2 nights as it does for my wife and I to go stay here for 4 nights.
I can't wait.

That's the sad thing currently. It really hits the wallet hard to go to the game if you're any distance away.

In a recent interview, CBJ referred to the team as a bunch of 17 and 18 year old kids. I know they're a young squad and many are 18- 19, but is any one of them 17?

If it is under 5 hours.. Drive.

Average 65mph with pit stops over eight hours and that'll get you to Little Rock. If you use Knoxville as the center of a circle with Little Rock as the radius, you get a very large, huge, percentage of the US population in it. Certainly a radius with most of our recruits. They drive. Often, if not always, some member of the family comes. To think all these families can afford to fly all over heck an gone for several visits to different schools is just to upper class chauvinistic to describe. Did the OP get to drive his daddy's old Beemer to private school?

Jalen was 17 when he enrolled but turned 18 shortly after. Not sure anyone on the team is still 17 now but it would not surprise me if they were.

As far as flying I was in my early 20s when I flew the first time and now I can't seem to stay off airplanes. I agree though within 5-6 hours I drive every time.
