will you go?

I would. I grew up in Birmingham and have lots of family there so it would be cheap and easy.

Would I go to Shreveport? No
Memphis or Nashville? Yes

While I would like a better bowl with a better record, Nashville and Birmingham are two bowls that I would definitely go to if we are in them.

Sure, I hope we do a little better, but I would make the drive from Atlanta and take the kids.

I would probably go just because the stadium has a lot of history...mostly bad history for Auburn.

I've been there 4 times.

1994 - Iron Bowl

1995 - State Championship game

1996 - Olympic Soccer

2001 - Opening day of the XFL (Birmingham Thunderbolts)

I would. I would use the time to stop by some of the tackle stores and sale some of my products

And of course I'd go. I enjoy bowl games and the short drive would make it easy.

Never have been to a bowl game. I could make Birmingham or Nashville easily.

Or the Chicken Bowl again. Had a family emergency last year and couldn't go.

No, I wouldn't.

I swore I'd never go back and I never will. Satan may have moved on from that particular pit, but his mark remains.

Not no but hell no. I swore I would never step foot in that shite stain of a stadium ever again when we played our last IB there. Nashville and Shreveport sure.

I remember when things begin to look bleak last season many posters emphatically stated that they would not attend the BBVA Bowl if that is where Auburn ended up. One 3-9 season latter and you guys sound much more receptive

You couldn't get me to go to Legion Field with a gun to my head.
