Travel problems add to horrible night for LSU players
The LSU Tigers suffered one of the most-painful losses in recent memory on Saturday night, going down to Texas A&M 74-72 in seven overtimes in College Station.
Questionable decisions by the refs made the loss even more painful to stomach, but it was only the beginning of a rough night for the Tigers.
According to reporter Brody Miller, fog prevented the team plane from landing in Baton Rouge, so it landed in New Orleans. Then, players had to wait on the plane for buses to arrive:
Due to fog, #LSU wasn't able to land in Baton Rouge. It had to land in New Orleans and doesn't have busses yet to get back to Baton Rouge.
After a 7-overtime loss, LSU is sitting on a plane waiting to find a way home.

That sounds absolutely brutal, especially coming off a tough loss like that. Hopefully, those players were able to get home and get plenty of rest before doing anything on Sunday.
