    It's true. The team just took off for San Diego 30 minutes ago. Does the travel usually take place at this time? I always thought whenever we went to play on the West Coast, we left on Saturday morning. At least, that's how I remember it from the Mangini regime. I like that they're getting out there on Friday, and getting the extra two days to get rid of the jet lag. I say two days because we've got the late game. I'm so stoked. This is just another little bit of news to hold you guys over. :beer:

    So does this mean they'll have curfew at like 7PM tonight, instead of 10? And they'll be up @ 4 instead of 7 etc? Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

    I think(I'm not sure) that the NFL requires teams to travel 2 days before the game in postseason.

    Yeah, that's what we did for the Oakland game as well and that worked.

    The anticipation is driving me nuts for this game! All this time and a championship game is so close...

    Makes so much more sense to get there earlier and have more time to settle in. Mangini was so fucktarded when it came to playing on the West Coast. Team was always in a fog out there.

    I'm going to get the chainsaw out tomorrow, and come back in around 4 to watch the AZ-NO game. I bet that's going to be a great one to watch. I think some buddies may come over who talk to much for me to have them for the Jet game.

    Then it only gets better - I will be rooting for the Ravens, and I think they have an excellent shot. It will be clinically interesting to see how the Colts approach of resting either pays off or not.

    Try not to get up too early Sunday...

    Boys Vikes I probably have the least interest in. I'll probably be getting ready for the Jet game, snacks and stuff, anyway.

    Then, game time.

    The weekend will actually go quickly, I think.

    There's a little Jet Lag (no pun intended) with CA and I think it's an excellent idea to get out there early and get rid of some or all of it over the next 24 hours.

    It'll be normal bed time out there when they arrive, but late by our standards. Let them get a good night's sleep and get up tomorrow and then still have 24+ hours to acclimate for the kickoff.

    Oh man, this is some weekend.

    I don't know then, I thought that was the rule in case of problems w/ travel but I guess not.

    Was that the real Jets that took off or the decoy squad?

    I think they need the extra time to take Danny Woodhead down to Tijuana to get laid. Find some Spanish Fly.

    Who cares what Channel 7 predicts or for that matter any one else. It's time for the JETS to take it and prove EVERYONE wrong. We CAN win this one,BELIEVE. Did you really think that anyone would predict a JETS victory. It will make it all that much sweeter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
