Gators roll in to College World Series like rock stars
It would be hard to fault the Florida Gators for feeling like rock stars during their flight Thursday from Gainesville, Fla., to Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series.
After all, the Gators flew in the Rolling Stones’ private jet, complete with the band name and huge lips and tongue logo emblazoned on the plane.
According to Scott Carter of GatorZone.com, Florida ended up flying on the Stones’ plane because “The Stones played at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on Tuesday night, and flew to Orlando early Wednesday for their show Friday night at the Citrus Bowl. They don’t play again until next Wednesday in Nashville, so with a weekend off in Florida, the plane was bid out for other charter flights.
“The NCAA, in conjunction with an independent charter travel company, arranges flights for the eight schools and their traveling parties to get to Omaha. As it turns out, the Stones’ plane matched Florida’s criteria, was close by and most importantly, available.”
Mick and Keith weren’t on board, but you can’t get always get what you want.
