Rich Rodriguez hopes fans will take a page from John Hughes’ 1987 classic, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and get to Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso anyway possible on Friday night.
Rodriguez and company will take a bus on Thursday night some 316 miles from the Old Pueblo east on I-10 to a place affectionately known among locals as “The Sun City.”
The game comes some eight days after the team’s 19-16 loss to Houston on Saturday night.
The longtime ballcoach said his postgame autopsy produced a mixed bag of emotions, both good and bad.
