The Arizona basketball team landed in Indianapolis after their flight was diverted due to bad weather. The 11th-ranked Cats were in town the night before their game against Illinois, who are currently atop the B1G. The team decided not to wait for buses and instead called a few taxis to take them to their destinations.
It is only a two-hour drive between Indianapolis and Champaign, although the severe weather may have extended that little road trip, but I have so many questions about this journey that will probably never get answered.
The legroom for some of the taller members of our society is the first thing that comes to mind. Did they spend the extra money to call black cars? I don't know what the team's transportation budget looks like, feels like that might add up for a two hour drive with multiple cars. Did they make the shorter guys sit in the third row of the car and have their knees up around their ears for the entire drive through southern Illinois? Did anyone end up in an SUV trunk? There is plenty of space in those. A visual would be helpful.
I have never heard a more out-of-pocket conversation in my life than I have heard from Midwestern drivers of the ride-sharing service. I need to know if the Arizona men's basketball team was given an hourlong lecture on how the coronaviruses was made in a Chinese lab and how the COVID vaccine is a hoax meant to control the population. They may have been on the unfortunate end of a Bible-inspired homophobic rant. Maybe the driver of the car pulled an unloaded gun out of the console just to show the team members who were in that car, or maybe the driver missed a turn and pulled a Uie over the concrete median. Midwestern ride-sharing services are not lawless things. It is important that you know that these are things that have happened to me and my friends in the Midwest.
