For a non-stop flight that arrives the day before and leaves the day after and isn't $600+ I'd say it's a pretty good deal

meh....of course flights to phx not from the midwest are going to be a good deal...$350 seems like a ripoff actually...glad you got a good deal though, more EMAW the better
When Baylor scored to make 45-24 I looked and you couldn't do less than $350 for Wed - Fri from KC, STL, OMA on SW.  The Fiesta is just bad one to fly to due to only 1 close airport.  It is the worst of all the BCS bowls and I am glad we are ditching it for the Sugar and hope we get a deal with the Orange or elevate the Cotton for a second BCS tie in.

The Orange Bowl opponent system has already been set and they've came out and said they are pretty certain there won't be any tie ins to those other 3 bowls. Only that the best of the other 5 conf champs would get 1 of the 4 spots.

I went to Oregon's ticket office site and added a block of 24 tickets to my cart with no problem.

Single peeps, hit me up. You're all sick of #fanningbrags which I totally get, but so far this trip is free(paid for). If anyone needs a free place to stay, I can accommodate based off liked poster status.

maybe fanning, maybe

Is anyone here planning on attending the "Fiesta Bowl College Football's Biggest Party"? We are trying to decide if it's worth getting tickets for that or just to set up a tailgate on our own.

Question.  Has anyone ever taken an RV on a long trip?  Is it fun?  Assume you're surrounded by fun people and are also a fun person.

Yes, it is fun. Everyone will want to drive. Plan the driving shifts in advance. Only tell those people who are driving when their shift is. Only give the dealership/rental place the licenses of those people that are responsible enough to be able to not drink until after their shift is over. Then, when one of your buddies that has had a couple of beers and says, "I'll drive!" you can say, sorry buddy, I didn't know you'd want to drive. I would have had to give the dealer a copy of your license. My bad. Have another beer. Maybe you can drive the next time we do this."

Oh we own the RV.  I don't want to drive it.  It's very big and seems unwieldy.

It's pretty fun, just make sure nobody is on top of it when you're going under a bridge

Would you have somebody else drive it or would you just want to tow it around?

Why on earth would you want to drive an RV? I could see how riding in one and just boozing the whole way there could be fun, but driving???

Well like "the family" owns it.  There are a few guys with CDL's that drive it to the stadium for tailgating every home game.  I imagine those guys will do the bulk of the driving.  I know they mentioned that I would drive too but I'm sort of in agreement with Nuts Kicked, would rather not have that responsibility.  Would rather just drink and have fun.

That sounds more fun than driving to me.
