Apparently, the flight left Boise about 2:23 MT and was scheduled to arrive in Eugene approx 2:30 PT.

The flight did not land. There was rain in Eugene at that time and the Sun Country charter flight pilots circled Eugene waiting for a weather break. After a period of time, they decided to divert to Portland.

The flight landed in Portland, but rather than attempt to fly back to Eugene a decision was made to bus to Eugene on Friday evening. But, the contracted buses were in Eugene. So, the team waited in Portland for the buses to arrive.

Last estimate I read would put the team in Eugene sometime around 9:00 pm or a bit thereafter.

All my notes are based on a BSU beat writer's Twitter/X account.

Home field advantage begins at the airport 🛩️

Oof... That's painful.

Glad it's not me and not my Ducks!

Buses departed PDX around 6:45 pm. So, 9:00 pm still the estimate...but it if Friday traffic.

The Oregonian: The flight was diverted to Portland due to heavy rains around the Eugene Airport, which is undergoing construction on its larger (wider?), West runway.

No Guts, No Airmail. 🙃

Ok... So I had to look it up.

Driving from Boise to Eugene is 7 hours and 40 minutes ... About.

The plane trip is 1:40 minutes... Then Eugene to Portland is 30-50 minutes but with all the other delays let's just rack that up to an hour.

So plane time wise let's say 2 hours for Eugene and 1 hour to diver to Portland, including getting from campus to the Boise airport.

So we are at 3 hours.

Normally Eugene to Oregon is 2 hours... So 4 hours round trip. But but but... It's a Friday night with some rain and these are busses we're talking about and not cars.

So the waiting and travel from PDX to Eugene is probably closer to 5 hours.

Whole travel total is probably around 8 hours for them today.

They might as have driven from BSU to Eugene.

Team buses arrived at Eugene hotel at 8:56 p.m.
