Doesn't the Joel Klatt comment sound kind of familiar?? I wonder what is in my mind that would think so. Maybe.....

This flight tracker stuff is fun, but if you’re going to look, do it now. I can’t figure out how to search previous days, just today.
maybe this is a usual occurrence, but a flight originated out of Lincoln 9:00 am this morning. It landed at approx 11:30 am in Norman and returned to Lincoln at 2:00pm-ish. It was chartered by Silverhawk aviation, which is headquartered out of Lincoln and has a fleet of 11 jets. Perhaps a red herring? Lol.
now on to South Bend flight, chartered by a different company.

A lot of schools and coaches use silverhawk for a quick trip for recruiting purposes as well, and have taken off from weird locations. For instance I know a school in the midwest was in the NE for basketball, HC flew Silverhawk from Boston to OKC (Norman) to see a recruit day of game, during silly season and flew back in time to be with the team a few hours before tip.
And schools agents are very much aware of fans tracking. Coaches will leave drive 2-3 hours to a different airport, use Silverhawk to a neutral site and interview there instead of going to the new school. It's really only after it's a done deal, and it's public knowledge, will they go direct. For this Lincoln flight, it could easily be a coach from KSU meeting with UT.

Yeah there were flights today to Baton Rouge, Lexington and more, and one scheduled early tomorrow from Champaign. I am sure it's not really much but it's still fun to look at.

And I don't know if you remember, but when expansion talk was hot and heavy, the prior Oklahoma President wanted to move to the B1G instead of the SEC for multiple reasons, including the fact that the move would prop up Oklahoma's academic cache and the rest of Oklahoma's sports...something that will certainly take a hit with the move to the SEC. The fans wanted the SEC...and as we know, if there's a fanbase that doesn't know s*** from shinola...it's Oklahoma's.
Barry Tramell, of all people, was even waxing poetic in articles on occasion about how well Nebraska was doing academically under the B1G's umbrella and the benefits of the academic consortium.
Oklahoma was all but a given for the B1G if they wanted to go--they were part of the original Big XII five that were going to go (before aTm got greedy and scuttled everything), and the B1G had already vetted the school.
Texas, OTOH, would have had a very difficult road getting to the B1G. Sure they're desirable (like that hot number in the corner of the bar that will sleep with anyone and will give you herpes), but as Ohio State mentioned in one of their emails, Texass had a "Tech Problem" they couldn't deal with at the time.
Plus, there's the whole thing of Texass ruining every conference they've been a part of...

Scratch the south bend flight stuff. That charter company flies into South Bend often from multiple locations. It didn’t originate out of Lincoln either.
What about Oklahoma’s co-offensive coordinator and line coach? Ben something.
