NCAA travel info for Portland or possibly Nashville

See, I'm thinkin' from a marketing standpoint, the flight attendants might be more important than the pilot . . .

How about, The guy who screams "Come see me today" at Rusty Eck Ford for drinks , Rene Stevens can hand out white meat-only chicken sandwiches, and Susan Peters for witty banter . . .

(Oh, and old dude with sunglasses who sits in the student section for bathroom attendant).

I am good with Pogo as pilot in command as long as there are no red stoplights between here and Portland.

I would more than likely be in for Portland but I sure hope we will know something ASAP because alternate plans will need to be in place ASAP after the pairings are announced if the charter can't happen. Can you post an update on the likelihood of this happening at some point early tomorrow afternoon? I'm going to want to pull he trigger on my travel plans within an hour of the selection show.

If you all have a Facebook, you should go like the Alumni Association's page. https://www.facebook.com/ShockerAlumni They are going to be posting up the charter flight and/or bussing information Sunday evening/Monday morning after the selection show.

To answer some questions.... Larger plane. Portland and Nashville because those were the only 2 cities that the charter could be arranged for. Something to do with plane availability. As far as when we will know, it will be first thing Monday morning. If you are going to the watch party, please find the alumni assoc table and get your name on list. Should have a pretty good idea by then the level of interest. If you won't be at watch party and want to know or get your name on list message me and I will get you in contact with the director by cell phone so you can find out Sunday night. If you message me your email, I can forward you an email from the alumni assoc. With more details.

This is a great idea for Portland, however I don't think my group can wait until Monday morning to find out. In '06 we booked our flight to Greensboro that night for $400, the next day it was $1200.

I would definitley be in on the charter. Does it include tickets and lodging? or neither?

For $900 per person, it should include some sportin' women too.

A couple friends are taking the charter, should be fun. For those with a more flexable work schedule and looking for a way to save a little could fly to Seattle and take a rental car to Portland (3 hours). Round trip was around $350.

Looking forward to taking the charter. Thanks for setting this up and Go Shox!!!!

Is there anyway to tell what time we would play on Saturday if we won?

Were flying out of KC wed night, connecting in Minneapolis and arriving in Seattle shortly after 11. Flying to Seattle was cheaper and its only 2 and a half hour drive from seattle to Portland. There were no evening flights out of ict on wed night so thats why were flying out of KC. Should be fun, cant wait to see that charter full of shocker fans land in Portland.

Just checked expedia.com and flying out of Wichita to Portland is running between $1200 and $1800. The charter sounds like it will be the cheapest way to go from Wichita.
