Alright, here’s the best view of the situation that I can provide:

The plane Auburn chartered for the trip to Houston was sent back to AUO while in the air tonight. The reason for this has been described here as a fight, but I don’t get that feeling after having spoken to some folks who know what’s up. I think it more about guys getting rowdy and the pilots really weren’t feeling it.

So the team is at AUO right now. They’re re-arranging flights. They have one (new) plane ready to go, but the entire team can’t fit. So I suspect this will be a two-flight deal. I’m not sure of those details; they’re still being hashed out.

That’s the truth as best I can tell.

Auburn plays at Houston on Saturday night on ESPNU. Top is set for 8:45 pm CST.
