Anyone?
I am booking this one tonight sometime, I can't find anything better, especially on a Friday/Saturday:

8/27

PHX-IAH-BTR, depart PHX at 10:10a, arrive BTR at 4:35p on prime *A metal aka CO ($138 all in)

BTR-CLT-MLB, depart BTR at 6:15p, arrive MLB at 11:44p, the golden 4 pointer ($139 all in, this set of flights is all that matters)

8/28

after sleeping in and enjoying some morning beach time, I will reluctantly climb aboard
MLB-CLT-PHX, depart MLB at 1:40p, arrive PHX at 6:00p ($163 all in)

Total cost all in - $440 plus a hotel of your choosing (There are a lot of different ones near the airport, I priced a nearby Hilton for $75)

PS - You can find flights from alternate airports for the return (MCO, PBI mainly) for as cheap as $127, but you would have to one way a car (cheapest I found was a compact at National for $42)
