beav74 - thanks for the info....It would be interesting to see how much faster (in clock time) the flight is compared with sticking with the bus all the way from Corvallis to Pullman..... GO BEAVS!! I often wonder about such things too. You hop on a bus in Corvallis, and, 7 hours later, you get out at your hotel. OR: You hop on a bus in Corvallis, drive to Eugene or Portland, go through security, sit at your gate for half an hour before boarding, sit at gate/on tarmac for another half hour before takeoff, fly to wherever, walk about 3/4 mile to get to your next bus, and then drive to your hotel. If that doesn't take the full 7 hours, it sure puts a serious dent in it. The problem is the trip from Pullman to Seattle for the 2nd game. Bus companies usually don't like to one-way a bus and a bus trip from Pullman to Seattle can be dicey in the winter because of the passes. For a one-off in Pullman, I think it makes sense to bus, weather permitting.

A 7 hour bus trip can turn into a 10+ real real fast.
