statics is gay and physics is even more gay... you need to enjoy life now before you get into real engineering courses, like when i have had to stay overnight for a few days in the lab to finish projects once you get into real engineering classes. if you are concerned with travel time, then take the last flight out of TPA into BHM and drive over, then fly back after the game. realistically you could get there friday night and leave saturday afternoon late. or like some people just drive over after class on friday, get there late and then leave after the game. just think: if we win, you could frame the ticket and hang it in your house. do it now before you become a permanent resident of the fishbowl!
