AuroranHusker Posted March 20 Report Posted March 20 I posted this in the Memphis thread, but if you hadn't planned to go you may not see it. Anywho.... here goes: Crazy thought.... but anyone willing to drive from the Omaha area down to Memphis for the day?!? **can use my vehicle, split gas/expenses** I'm geeked about possibly doing it, but likely can't do it alone, obviously. I'm a completely sane person, but March Madness has me zany, let's go!! I wouldn't mind the drive, it would be not gettin' sleep via doin' it alone..... anyone, Bueller, Bueller? Cazzie22 1 Quote

hhcmatt Posted March 20 Report Posted March 20 Assuming you have some sort of obligation where you can't leave on Thursday. You'd have to leave by at least 6 am to make sure you hit tip-off. Another crazy thing would be the find a night owl to drive the nightshift while you close out early in the morning. Otherwise, There is a flight that gets into Memphis at 4:50 where there is a decent chance you can make the game by tip-off There is another one a bit more expensive where you get there by 2:13 https://skiplagged.com/flights/OMA/MEM/2024-03-22# Quote

Safe travels everyone Yeah, we didn't have the time to legitimately drive it. It'd be 12 1/2 hr. journey, getting there at game-time. Now we'll be there at 12 noon to soak it up!!! Cazzie22 1 Quote
tcp Posted March 20 Report Posted March 20 Ironically, I probably live closer to Memphis than almost anyone onthis board but I be too poor and broken to go! hahahaha. You gotta love the Fates. They have a fantastically warped sense of humor.... TBH, if anyone gets any decent barbecue to go, come back through this part of OK and drop some off...:) Good luck to all of you who can get to this thing! You got a lot of us to represent!
