The old gray Ford ain't what she used to be." - That may be the very worst commercial I've ever seen.

Just thought it was odd to be flying around in-state but whatever. Hopefully it helps and 2025 bears more fruit than 2024.

Can't even drive for in-state visits lol UI had typically spent more than us in the B10, and under Teflon John, UK's dwarfed everyone in the country. Part of it is if you look at the geography of B-town and Champaign, they're really in the middle of nowhere. The only real recruiting area that's close to B-town is Indy. Louisville is 2 hours, Cincinnati is 2.5 by map time (although you can get to the west side in 2 hrs 10 minutes...don't ask me how I know). And once you're off the interstates....y'all know as well as I do that all bets are off. You run the risk of getting stuck behind Farmer Bob or Granny McBluehair for 10-15 minutes until you can get past them. If it's a choice of driving 4 hours or flying 90 minutes, it's a question of productivity. 8 hours of driving is a lost day aside from whatever event I'm going to. 3 hours of flight time is 3 hours I could be doing something else on my way to whatever event, in addition to getting 5 hours back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the recruits perception. Like ‘what I’m not good enough you can’t spend some jack to fly?’ Or maybe I’m waiting for this one ‘I’m not good enough for a trip on my own you had to bundle?’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's easy compared, incredibly easy, compared to the drive we're talking about. 4-5 hours ish round trip for all of that. I like the drive from Indy to Kokomo.

HoosierDPU95 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 So... are some really complaining about the staff flying to visit these recruits? WTF? It's not like they're visiting Avon or Greencastle for Pete's sake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
