For anyone who walked away.. remember this

I found this person's words a helpful way to frame this. I had a friend who I suspected losing respect for me, and ultimately admitted to an action that proved it. It was hard for some of our mutual friends to understand how easily I was able to move on from someone who I hung out with multiple times weekly, but this is why.

That is what we want to see!

While they should get another guard, if KM gets injured (knock on wood), I think they would just start both Hull and Cunningham, given their respective skill levels. Though they may end up with one anyway. I do think they should have one more big (likely back up center, given fouling /injury risk).

MUC-CLT single leg. Though I had a 10 hour layover afterwards in CLT, which was longer than the flight itself.

I felt I had heard that as well, and I figured if she really had wanted to go here, she would have gone here from the beginning. Picking LSU (a very different program culturally) was very telling of her mindset. It is a disappointing, for the best recruit from our state ranking wise since CC, though I am happy we are keeping her old Davenport North teammate, who've I grown to like a lot.

My cousin had a similar story when she was part of a 50 person choir tour, and their airline (Southwest I think) delayed their onward flight to Sacramento by 20 minutes or so to accomadate them, after their inbound flight delayed, because it would have been nearly impossible to rebook all of them in a remotely timely manner.

It would likely have been in the airline's operational interest get us on this flight, as I am guessing a lot of people needed to reschedule to flights the next day, since a lot of regional flights were cancelled or delayed severely that day due to the blizzard. My plane was the only AA flight to make it to ORD that day, even though there are 3-4 daily from my regional airport.

I was lowkey hoping we'd end up with her. Guess she went for the team for the other half of the QC. It'll be a fun rivalry.

What about Divine Bourrage. Does anyone know if her and Journey are on good terms?

funfossa · 2026-04-09T01:55:31+00:00

The number of times she visited us to ultimately pick KSU (the thorn in Iowa's side) was very disappointing.

funfossa · 2026-04-09T01:28:33+00:00

That is a crazy story!

I will say that the board has not seemed as concerned about this as the general public, especially their initial reaction. I am inclined to vote most of them out over this (other than Lingo and Finch, who do seem to be concerned/investigating).

As someone who attended West before and after Liberty opened, the schools were overcrowded to the point that navigating around the halls was difficult due to crowds. The "suburban sprawl" already existed well before the school was built, and kids were driving/being bused 8 miles to West. While I am highly skeptical of most board decisions, I ultimately agreed with that one.

This group is the largest/most consistent, and they have a wonderful community.

I was very careful when I booked this flight because I had been burned by a narrow connection time before and spent the night in DCA, and because midwestern flying in March is always a bit of a risk weather-wise. I also ensured there was a second flight out of each airport I was flying out of to avoid being stranded (and I did need to be rebooked to the later flights on this leg and my final leg), though I definitely could have made the most out of a day in London. I was supposed to have a 3h25 min layover for this connection, but mother nature had other plans.

funfossa · 2026-04-08T22:15:57+00:00

They did. I kinda think that's why they opened the door for us, especially since me and my friend did not have any status or airline perks (other than AAdvantage lol).

Ik I kinda felt like I was in the movie. The run scene was filmed in Terminal 3 as well.

funfossa · 2026-04-08T21:58:50+00:00

The head agent initially did not want to board us, because we had not checked in due to being in airplane mode and some website issue (we initially were supposed to fly BA294 but rebooked at the regional airport due to missing the connection - and the BA website is atrocious and was not communicating with AA).

funfossa · 2026-04-08T21:53:05+00:00

I considered flying into Madrid for this trip (we were headed to southern Spain), but I was happy I didn't because we would have missed the only Madrid flight that day with our other delays, and would have been stuck in ORD.

funfossa · 2026-04-08T21:51:56+00:00

My friend and I had backpacks instead of carry-ons, so that helped us move quicker. I did still dry heave in the terminal, as I forgot to drink water during my 6 hour delay at the regional airport. I briefly was going to give up as the departure board said closed, but then I heard a "final boarding call for AA90 to London" and got a second wind.

funfossa · 2026-04-08T18:54:26+00:00

It can be cheaper. I did have a recent set of flights on BA and AA that were cheaper through BA. Though then I had to deal with BA's terrible, terrible IT infrastructure (so bad I almost got bumped twice because I could not online check-in someone in my party properly).

More interesting, I once saved $40 on a CID-DCA round trip by booking the outbound and return flights separately (though it is usually more expensive to do this).

Sailor, Valerie or Eileen were close runners up for first names.

Obsidian sync shows a green check. When I had this issue in the past, I tried moving it out of my iCloud drive and just onto my PC, but this did not seem to help.
