Saw a tweet a few days ago that there were flights for students to columbus that were only like $126 roundtrip. Anyone remember seeing anything about that or have a link? Tried to backtrack but couldn't find anything. Trying to get to Columbus to see us beat the Buckeyes.

5 hours driving? Skip the flight and get some friends together to split gas. Use the money saved to buy beer.
EDIT: For the record, driving will cost you less than $50 each way depending on how fuel efficient your car is. Get 3 other friends, you drive and have them pay for gas. Then take the extra ~$650 you saved and buy everything you need to throw a bad ass tailgate. You guys are young. You can drive through the night if you have to in order to get there for 7 AM tailgating and avoid a hotel for Friday night.
When I went to Japan around New Year's in 2007-2008 I got my tickets through Student Universe and got a decent deal. I think it was about $800 to fly from Tri Cities (Bristol) to Tokyo-Narita and then back about 10 days later with layovers in Detroit both ways.
When I just did a search on their site the cheapest option I was finding was $311 for round trip Roanoke to Columbus if you depart Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and wait until Monday or later to Fly Back.
I don't remember which account tweeted it, but it was a flight from Dulles, not the NRV.
Edit: found it
Thats a pretty awesome deal, but if youre going to drive to IAD from BBurg, you may as well just drive to Columbus.
I hope a lot of DC/Nova Hokies take advantage of that one though.
i actually looked it up when the game was announced. 4 hours and 56 minutes. thats even closer than Pitt is. driving is the move
I'm going to have to agree with everyone else here. Having to drive back from Atlanta after the Georgia Tech game last year didn't diminish the experience at all and in some ways made it even better. I don't even care that we didn't get back till 6:30am on Friday and that I'd been driving since 2 and in the car since midnight it was still one of the best nights of my life.
