Anyone else doing it? Approx. 14 hours on the road.

Pro tips much appreciated.

Was maybe flying to DC to meet up with another EMAW and then drive 4 hours to Couch Burn U

This sounds like the better option

how open do you think WVU people on couchsurfing.org would be to a medium-sized group of super pak'd EMAWs invading their couches for the weekend?

Don't forget to pick up fanning on the way.

Pro Tip for those not driving: Fly into Pittsburgh and it's an hour south from there.

tickets are 200 right now if you fly on thursday from MCI. not bad, but the logistics/money of getting a rental car would complicate things.

Planning on doing this from New Orleans. Have had tons of success on hotwire.com recently with cheap rental cars (for my KU friends who can't afford limos), fwiw.

Will be making the drive up to Morgantown from Raleigh, NC. Only around 8 hours so not that bad. Heading up Friday then coming back Sunday making a long weekend out of it.

At tailgates, do they burn those fold out sling chairs? When in Rome...

good grief, you can get a $200 RT and you are still considering driving? would you like me to book a rental car for you? weekend rental car rates are nothing.

I drove to Marshall for that game and it pretty much sucked, really long boring shitass drive. The people were pretty nice though I guess.

yeah, but then you have to answer about whether you want rental car insurance, and I just don't have the time for that kind of stuff.

Actually, funny story, I can't rent a car at my age yet. So yes, if you could book a rental car for me that would be great. I'd say skip the insurance since I'm going to be driving it uninsured anyways. TIA

Fly to Pittsburgh, and drive the 300 feet to Morgan town. That's the only way I'd do it.
