Nationwide FAA halt could impact Wisconsin vs. Maryland kickoff time

As of a few hours ago, the Wisconsin Badgers had officially touched ground at the Baltimore/Washington International airport. UW left early enough so they were able to land at BWI before the FAA halted flights across the country. Seeing as most college football teams who have a game on Saturday, Nov. 14, were flying out on Friday, Nov. 13, that didn't bode well for a ton of programs. 12 major teams were left grounded while the likes of Auburn and Purdue switched to a bus method of transportation. Now, according to On3's Ross Dellenger , it seems like the start time for certain games may be impacted. Conference officials are in dialogue with media partners about adjusting kickoff times of impacted games, potentially swapping time slots with other games. Several teams have returned to campus as airport staff informed administrators that the grounding could last 8 more hours. https://t.co/ZxfrK7dMGa — Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) November 13, 2026 "Conference officials are in dialogue with media partners about adjusting kickoff times of impacted games, potentially swapping time slots with other games," he said.

Noodle rush hour in Rockville

Xi’an Famous Foods opened without any fanfare on Rockville Pike last week — and it didn’t take long for fans of the restaurant’s “hand-ripped” noodles to start lining up at the door. This is the first Maryland location for the family-owned business, which started in New York and gained national attention when it was featured on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. Now in the midst of an East Coast/DMV expansion, Xi’an is best known for its noodles but also offers signature dishes like stewed pork burgers, spicy cumin lamb burgers and spicy-and-sour lamb dumplings. You’ll find Xi’an at the Montrose Crossing shopping center, in the former Boardroom Salon space between Rasa and Five Guys.
