You just can’t take them anywhere.
New Audio Recording Of Pilot Provides Context To Auburn Basketball’s Bizarre Fight On The Plane
Auburn is planning to play its college basketball game against Houston as scheduled on Saturday even though a physical altercation between players forced the team plane to turn back around after it already left the Plains on Friday afternoon. There are a lot of conflicting reports as to what did or did not happen.
Audio from the pilot’s communication with ground control and a photo of the private jet provides greater context to the mysterious incident.
All we know for certain is that the 11-ranked Tigers were en route to Texas when multiple teammates got into a heated argument that quickly became something more serious. The episode has been described as a “fight,” a “physical altercation,” and “horseplay.”
You don’t normally turn a plane around for “horseplay”. Apparently two players missed tonight’s game, presumably the two Scholar-Americans who were engaged in “horseplay”
Auburn freshman F Jahki Howard and senior F Ja’Heim Hudson will not travel to Houston for Saturday night’s game after an altercation between the players during travel on Friday.
These hood rats are given an amazing opportunity, playing basketball on scholarship for a ranked Division 1 team, flying to games on a private jet and they STILL can’t behave like human beings.
NigAir, with flights nightly.
(Cuz it’s always dark when we’re airborne).
There is something obscene about people that couldn’t figure out the wheel flying in planes invented by Whites.
Something obscene in a University, a place of learning, needing a flight department almost exclusively for the athletic directors to scout talent for the (men’s) basketball and football teams….which seem to be the total focus of universities now….
Players with mostly no chance of meeting the academic rigor to pursue a degree level course.
I had to spend $1000/ term in extra fees partly to subsidize the athletic department at the college my kids attended…..not sure they are the benefit of the majority of that money.
And then they’ll be hitting your kids up in perpetuity (as alumni) for donations, even when the charges for tuition, housing, meal plans and everything else the can profit from increase with no end in sight. The collegiate “education” system in this country needs to be burned to the ground, along with all those who are in its employ. It is one giant (and utterly destructive) scam perpetrated on – and against – the public at large.
Yes! I was just thinking that, of the immense contrast between the sleek White plane and what it took to invent and build it, and the hindbrained hyenas on board.
And professional responsibilities be damned – if I was a pilot, you could not pay me enough to shuttle around black sportsball players. Let them find – and trust – DIE pilots.
You will never run out of material.
Heh. In all fairness, clownworld makes it all too easy for me. The fact I’m a natural born smart ass does help, however. And I’ve had 5 decades to refine my craft, so have that going for me, too.
Once, (ONCE) I flew on Spook Airlines.
It was like being in the blackest part of Detroit at midnight.
My condolences. I’ve avoided that because I have flatly refused to fly post 9/11, given the atrocious mistreatment that must be endured courtesy of another group of angry nogs, that being the TSA. Fuck ’em. Until the customer experience improves (yeah, fat chance of that ever happening) the airlines will not see a red cent of my money.
Pappy got a track and field scholarship at EDU as the only Whitey at inner city HS.
He thought he could party like the dean’s son and get away with it.
It didn’t work out but the Big Green saved the day.
101st Airborne Ranger, my forever hero! (H/T-G)
Bakkaball? I put away childish things.
Ain’t nobody got time for human flea circus.
Basketball was Ours once too. The sportsball cope is fun because its true. But what is also true is that we have ceded so much ground that now our bread and circuses seem to be making fun of the monkeys who fling poo all over our former bread and circuses.
Its important to remember all we have lost. Even the silly stuff of kids games and entertainments.
Jahki vs Ja’Heim, you can’t make that up,
I would not want to have to clean up after any of the zoo animals
I am sure they were there on academic scholarships.
Imagine being the lone White guy on a bassetball team. That was my son’s fate in middle school, before we pulled our kids out of public school in a sketchy area on Long Island for lily-White Catholic school. It cost more to send each kid to private high school than their subsequent four years in SUNY colleges, but it was well worth it. We paid the diversity tax with joy, just to get them out of public school hell.
You couldn’t spend your money better
Auburn University has its own flight department; most large universities do.

However given that they were transporting the full squad and associated staff, it was probably a charter. Picture looks like an ERJ; 2,1 seating.
Id be willing to bet that the charter company bills them extra surcharge from now on and the other companies in the business do likewise.
Helps to read the linked article. Saab200 turboprop. Any one know which company uses QHD: I couldn’t discern the callsign on the audio.
I have flown a full plane load of scholars a few times, like three or four. Never had a fight on board but always loud talk over each other. The vibrants always had enough room in they carry on bag to take all the liquor and snacks off the plane, and left it with a different smell that Ozium had a difficult ime over coming.
Damn dude that sounds awful. A bunch of monkeygolfers on a plane…
Ozium …that brings back memories.
A solid 90-95% of altercations on planes involve scholars, see also cruise ships.
Bob Cousy, George Mikan, John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Dan Issel, Kiki Vandewege, Dave DeBusschere, Bobby Jones, Bill Walton, Dave Cowens, John Stockton, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Steve Nash, Paul Westphal and on and on. Basketball used to be pure. It used to be entertaining. It used to be worth buying a ticket in the cheap seats once in a while. I don’t GoSports! in any form anymore, but I can’t stand basketball the most. It is disgusting and bears no resemblance to what it was decades ago.
Haha. Almost forgot Jerry West. Probably a bunch of others, too.
If the refs actually called games by the rules set down most teams would foul out the whole roster in a couple of minutes. I remember watching Patrick Ewing taking half a dozen steps into the lane before tossing up a shot, the modern game barely resembles the original form.
Amen.
Their days of private planes are numbered.
Almost seems as though these jovial fellows are working for the opposition…
