4 hours ago4 hr No. 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.

2 hours ago2 hr No. 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.

(To get this, you also have to remember Roy Rogers and a Jeep called Nelly Bell. 😁)Compared to Notre Dame traveling to LA to play SC back in Knute Rockne's day, it's a piece of cake.BSU should have taken the BUS.
