Most of the bars are at the University area... if you're here for sure we'll hop from one to the other...

As for cheap hotels, I couldn't tell you dude... there are a couple of hotels near the University, but I'm guessing the rates will fluctuate during that time because of the game...

There is a Four Points Sheraton at Speedway/Campbell
There is also a Marriot over on 2nd st and Tyndall

Only reason I remember those is because I got drunk at the U one night and I thought I had a room in those hotels

Wharbone might know more about the area of town than I do since he's down there more often
