Team Bonding: Auburn's Plane Had To Turn Around And Go Back Home Because A 'Bunch Of Players' Reportedly Got Into A Fight With Each Other After Takeoff
Hell yes. Been a while since we had teammates were in a fight/horseplay on a flight in college basketball. To be fair though, this is how you should prepare playing Houston. They are gonna beat the shit out of you, you might as well brawl in the skies and cause the plane to turnaround. I do love Goodman saying it was 'horseplay' that could have turned into a flight. You really think Bruce Pearl is turning the damn plane around over horseplay?
I'm sure Bruce Pearl is making sure everyone knows it's horseplay. It's a hilarious term because I just picture every father in America saying that before upgrading it to stop playing grab ass with each other. What I want to know is the true backstory here. You know how annoyed you gotta be to get into a brawl (excuse me, horseplay) with your teammates that quick into a flight? We're talking about the first week of the regular season. This isn't a team struggling or anything like that.

Nothing like the biggest game of the week getting started with a team fight on the plane. Again, the whole horseplay thing is hilarious. There's no such thing as grown men having horseplay that can lead to a fight. It's a fight or not. Bruce Pearl turned that damn plane around. Can't wait to see who doesn't make the trip to Houston when this plane takes off again.
