“What Is This, Field of Dreams?”
Who goes from LA to Tulsa to see their name in lights? Ummm, me.
Those of you who know me well, have heard me rave/rant over my younger brother’s bargain travel prowess. (Here’s a WSJ article noting the time he flew to Cyprus business class for $33 when the list price was nearly $2900.) In that spirit, I, too, have enjoyed finding great fares. So, it was to my delight that I came across an $80 round-trip from LA to Wichita, KS. And yes, delight. You see, I’m just a handful of states short of hitting all 50. With a trip to Kansas, I could knock another one off and with a quick drive, see an old high school buddy in Tulsa. And with a quick drive from Tulsa, I could hit Arkansas as well. So with nothing more than that base logic, I bought my ticket.
But no trip out of LA forgoes visiting colleges–even those in the Great Plains. And even those of you who don’t know me well, know I’m a college football junkie. So, I wasn’t about to miss one of the 17 private universities in the country that also competes in Division I football–the University of Tulsa. Along with Rice, it’s also one of the smallest at just under 3,000 undergraduates. For comparison’s sake, my Ohio State Buckeyes are set within a school of over 46,000 undergraduates.
