There isn't a question I would leave on Thursday to make the trip shorter on game day. I still dont really understand why the system is set up to make these games happen, doesn't make sense to me. Goodluck to the Pirates making this trip!

luckily theres no major holiday on thursday or anything

Thanksgiving road trip with team and fans is a blast. Big disadvantage if they make the drive Friday IMO.

Jet….I agree.  Hard to try and manage all the logistics, fatigue and general travel malaise that comes with a 6.5-8 hour trip (with stops).  I just don’t think they have a choice but to pull out right after a walk thru practice on Thanksgiving Day.   Knock a big chunk of it out …and finiah it up on Friday.   Gonna require a lot leadership from coaches and upperclassman.
