UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

Going to be expensive to go west. Airfare is ranging from $550-$600 round trip to Minnesota. Just under $700 for GB.

Fly to MKE instead of into GB and drive the two hours. Saves some $ on airfare. If we go to GB, that's my plan.

Two of the most $$$ airport in the country to fly. Go to MKE or even ORD and drive. Won't be cheap but will be far less than direct to GRB.

CHN has Lowell to Bridgeport for a 5/12 matchup with Miami. blog.collegehockeynews.com/2012/03/pairwise-live-blog-2012/
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

If Bridgeport happens that would be good news. it means no to $500 plane tickets, car rentals and expensive hotel rooms.
 
Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

If it is Green Bay I may want to coordinate on the car stuff... doesn't need to happen, but it makes things cheaper.

I also have a federal rate hotel room at my disposal.

edit: HOLY HELL... It costs nearly as much to fly to hartford as it does to fly to GB!!!

edit #2: so... NYC to MetroNorth maybe?!

oh, lord, is that TI-BASIC? I haven't seen that since the TI-4A machine.

edit: oh, nevermind, fortran

Thank you! :)

It's a joke from FORTRAN 77 on a DEC VAX system. In 1996, I took a class in FORTRAN 77 as part of my meteorological degree requirements and ironically, it was the last time Lowell made the NCAAs. To this day, large amounts of meteorological based programs are still written in a form of FORTRAN.

The program assumes that UML Theory #245 is already in effect....Lowell will get always get the shaft when compared to BU and Maine.

Call it a hunch and if the program is correct, is UML Theory #532.

work is the same way... we're changing that.

Then again, from what I hear, fortran still works perfectly well... its just that nobody really codes in it anymore. Most of the reasons work is changing around is because the methods that were used were developed the same time that LaBamba as popular

Pat,

If in BDR, take Amtrak from Union Station direct to Bridgeport. Arena is across the street and would be the most direct route.

BDR? I'm not sure I want to train from DC... but I'll explore all options.

Not to jump ahead, but the first Bridgeport game being at 3 on a Friday is most upsetting.

What's more upsetting is there isn't a reasonably stable place near the arena to start drinking... Beers at 11, shots at noon, and we work over at 1:30... at least that's what'd happen in a rational world. Who the hell chooses Bridgeport for a regional?

That is indeed a problem. :mad:
