Pilots v Florida State

Post by UPSoccerFanatic on Sat Nov 12, 2011 8:38 pm

Let's get this thread going.

Next week's group is the Pilots v Florida State and Lousiville v Memphis, with the winners squaring off. Wow, that's dense.

I'd sure rather go to Memphis to see the Pilots' games than to Tallahassee!

Oh My Gosh, the Memphis athletic department's media relations people are tweeting that, in fact, the games will be at Memphis and not at Florida State. Rumor is that FSU has a pointy ball game coming and can't handle both. Really, I'm not kidding.

TEAM OF DESTINY?

GO PILOTS!

I guess I have to revise the weather info I gave in another post. Weather forcast for Memphis on Friday is sunny, high 61, low 44. Things to do in Memphis on Saturday between game days: Plenty of good BBQ, music on Beale St., Mud Island, and of course Sun Records and Graceland.

Just for fun, using Kayak, I looked up prices for flights from Portland to Memphis. Leaving on the 17th and returning on the 21st. The cheapest flight was $648. Yikes.

I know it's not Memphis and it would take some additional traveling. But I found tickets from Seattle to Nashville for $484 on Orbitz.

The information about $428 fares on the Fare Compare page itself does not seem to be re-createable via the actual search engines. I ran a search on all the engines on the Fare Compare website and the cheapest fare it brought back was $567 on United.

Check out flights into Little Rock. It is only a 2 hour drive on I-40 to Memphis and usually a lot cheaper to fly into! Go Pilots.
