  • How much fans do you guys expect to be there? I watched their game today and it was pretty much empty. Hell we will probably have more in there than they do.

  • Obviously not a lot. I checked flight prices last night and they are outrageous. I am hoping Marshall can put together some short of group charter. Either bus or plane. I'd come down from Columbus if so. Hopefully we will have nothing short of a miracle later today and get the nod in the BCS poll.

  • Flying out of Dayton on Air Tran was around the $650 range. 

    If we put 30,000 plus in the seats vs 5,000 there, you would think that it would be a no brainer where to have the game. 

    I would be happy to make the trip for the second week in a row to watch this game.

    $357 to fly from Charleston to Dallas.  About a 3 1/2 hour drive from Dallas to Houston, that might be an option for some to consider.

  • Couple of other options to consider....

    - Southwest from Louisville to Houston (Hobby) has been a cheaper route for me on occasion

    - American to Beaumont... and then catch a shuttle to Houston for about $35

    - Fly into any of DFW, San Antonio or Austin and take a Megabus for $1... yes $1... with free wi-fi... to Houston

  • Bumping this in case we got ripped off.  File the injunction.  Rules apply.  NCAA and certainly not Conference USA is above that.  Fly to Huntington to watch game.  Seems to be a little (bleep) in the peanut butter.

    Don't I know it, brother.  :P

    Birmingham, Tuscaloosa or Meridian MS makes for a good midway stopover for anyone thinking that way.
