I don’t understand why the team didn’t leave a day earlier, arriving on Thursday. Arriving at 6pm the night before a game…I dunno. You’re not going to get into the hotel and fed until well into the evening, and then you have meetings and other shit, and then you have to get some sleep but you’re still two hours behind, so your clock isn’t ready yet to hit the hay.
And then the very next day you have to play a game, which means you have to get up early because, after breakfast, you have a lot of meetings and walk-throughs and stuff, and then there is the trip to the stadium and all of the pre-game stuff.
Thursday evening arrival seems like a much better option because then you have all day Friday to do walk-throughs, meetings, get a little more used to the time change, etc.
If you’re some schmuck businessman, yeah, you don’t have the luxury of doing any of this, you get on a plane and fly somewhere, get a Lyft, get to the meeting, and then head back to the airport. If you’re staying overnight, it’s the same shit, just a little longer before you head to the airport again. But a college football team of this caliber? Get there earlier, on Thursday. Yeah, it’s a lot more money to spend an extra day in another city, but USC has a lot more money than they know what to do with.
