College football road trip

[Farmer]

Let's say money wasn't an issue and you had an entire fall to do a college football road trip of your choice, which stadiums would be on your list?

For me I would take an RV and start off at either the Cowboys Classic or chick fil a classic and then in no particular order I would want to visit

Ohio St
Wisconsin
Penn St
Washington
Oregon
Texas vs OU
Notes Dame
Michigan
Mt Union
Nebraska
Ole Miss
Iron Bowl
Sec championship game
Army/Navy

Then the Rose bowl

What about yall?

[pied]

I like this idea, but I think we should do a trip based on this year's schedule.

I like that idea pied. I'll add to it later when I get home from work

[Farmer]

Pied, would you like to include Thursday games in this?

Since money or time is not a factor in this I think we should

[svhorns]

Washington
Hawaii
Yale/Harvard
Army/Navy
Texas/OU
Florida/Georgia
Ole Miss
USCw
Michigan
Penn St.
Wisconsin
Auburn/Alabama
One of those all black school games to watch the bands.

[Farmer]

Let's do this based on this years schedule

On that first Thursday night we have Michigan at Utah or TCU at Minnesota?

I would vote the TCU at Minnesota game

[pied]

I'm in but it's going to take me a bit of time. Cost will not be a hindrance but want to make it somewhat realistic, i.e. not going to do a Hawaii and Miami the next day. Not going to give a lot away but think I'll spend the first part in the NW.

[Farmer]

So on Thursday night one would be able to do either TCU at Minnesots or take in Harbough and Michigan at Utah. Drive all day Friday to arrive in Dallas for Alabama vs Wisconsin and then head east to Virginia for Ohio State at Va Tech on Monday night?

[svhorns]

Can we take one of them fancy jets you got to take farmer? I'm already exhausted from the thought of having to drive from minny to Dallas to Virginia. Long season ahead.

For the first week and maybe last week we should do that since it will be multiple games in a short window. Would you want to take the Citation or Gulf Stream?

[pied]

OK, I think this schedule works. Plus is that I go to some AMAZING games/locations. Bad thing is, there are some clunkers in those locations. I struggled with 9/26 and couldn't figure out anything geographically that made much sense, but the Sun Bowl is super cool. A couple of those I left on there struck through(didn't come through, so I put them in <<<<brackets>>>>). In one case it was head one direction or the other, the other was kind of a toss up game.

Would like to fit a game at West Point on there, but don't see how that really works as part of a year long road trip. Like to see a game at Neyland, and Clemson but hey that's what next year is for.

Tell me what you think and poke holes.

That would make for some great trips. I like how you kept it regional for the most part of the season. Going from the west to middle to southeast back to Midwest.
Would you ever have any desire in seeing a 1-AA or D-2-3 type of game?

[pied]

I would certainly, but was working off the D1 schedule on ESPN. I really want to get to a home Army game, and perhaps another smaller school in the NE in the fall.

Looking at my list, although the matchups may not epic this year I think I have a great cross between all time rivalries, great stadiums and some places I'd want to see.

All Time Rivalries
Army-Navy
Texas-ou
Georgia-Florida
Michigan-tOSU

Great Stadiums
Autzen - Oregon
The Coliseum
Tiger Stadium - LSU
Bryant Denny - Alabama
Notre Dame
Beaver Stadium - Penn State
Camp Randall - Wisconsin
Memorial Stadium - Nebraska
The Big House - Michigan

Places I want to see
Rice-Eccles - Utah
Boise St
LaVell Edwards - BYU
Sun Bowl - UTEP
Folsom Field - Colorado

[svhorns]

What the hell pied how are we not going to South Bend on Sept. 5th.

[pied]

Hard to be everywhere. Starting in the middle/East makes a lot of that difficult. Let's see your effort!
