Starkville trip?
Flying? Driving from Surprise (1600 miles... road trip!)?
Looked, and hotels near campus still available for $120-170/nt.

It's on my radar. I'm flying in so would have to run back to PDX then out to Memphis (I think) and drive down. That's a lot of sturm & drang so actually following through is unlikely. But I could be persuaded
what is the game ticket situ?

But I could be persuaded what is the game ticket situ? Have not checked as it's early. But, fans at CWS stated they regularly have set allotment for visitors and don't sell those till game day if unclaimed. Also can fly into Columbus, MS... 1 stop... 25-30 miles to campus. Air/Delta, hotel/3 nts next to campus, car is $1300 or so. I'd think hotel rooms will fill up later?! |

Some of those Mississippi State fans were way over the top in Omaha. The only thing that shut them up were the five runs in the third inning of the deciding game. I can only imagine what they will be like in all their glory. If you think for a second they have forgotten what happened in Omaha, that would be a tactical error.

The fans I interacted with in Omaha were very forward about their fan base. Reminded me of the good Fresneck fans. Totally admit that 75% (think that was their #) are hicks from the sticks and total idiots most of the time. Those caveats are somewhat outweighed by... OSU baseball and never been to that area. |

Ok looking at this I guess there isn't a good reason to fly back to Portland. Just stay in Surprise for a day or 2. Free lodging at my brothers. Fly into Memphis then 3 hour drive to Starkville. Can fly into Birmingham but only slightly shorter drive. Flying into Columbus is a 15 hour death march all routed through the ATL at much higher cost
we met a dad and his kid from msu in omaha in '13. this was after they beat us to eliminate us. they were super nice. really enjoyed talking with them. also met a couple in bayeaux france (normandy) they were very underdressed for the weather. mrs tb gave them some base layer
