I’d like to go to Norman for the OU vs Bama game but it falls on the dates of a very coveted Elk tag I’ve been waiting to draw so I’ve got a lot of thinking to do.

OU fans, id recommend making the trip to Jordan Hare, Oxford and Baton Rouge. Y’all got a good introductory schedule for some great SEC campus experiences.

Texas trannies, you don’t really have any cool inaugural road trips. Vandy is fine but more of a Nashville trip than a campus experience.

Who’s taking trips to Norman and Austin baws? I imagine the dawgs will take over DKR for that game. Might be 5 Florida fans in attendance for that game on the other hand

Going to Nashville in October. Is easy and I love Nashville.

Really look forward to the first Texas Tennessee game in Knoxville!

Battle of the oranges. Battle for UT. I think it will an awesome sight.

I guess Sunbelt Billy pissed off someone in the SEC office that makes the schedules. Seems like they are trying to get him fired. That’s a brutal schedule for a coach on the hot seat.

The Austin weekend with UGA is the same weekend as a formula 1 race which is apparently a big deal, hotels already booked, flights already booked, so it won't be as huge of a UGA turnout.

Nashville would be fun but I’m going to Michigan (plus College Station where I’ve been 4 times). Was at Bama this year plus Arky and Ole Miss fairly recently. We’ll get around to the SEC sites in due time. LSU is on the top of the wishlist

Main place I’d like to visit and haven’t gotten to yet is Athens.

Georgia fans drew the short end of the straw this year. It’s F1 weekend, which will take over the city. Flights are double, hotels $500+ a night, and there won’t be any restaurants you can get into all weekend.

Definitely making the trip to Norman. Trying to hit every SEC stadium at some point.

Have already been to Norman (decent campus, so-so town, great game-day experience) and Austin (beautiful campus and town, great game-day experience).

I would highly recommend both. Like anywhere, including the SEC, if you treat opposing fans with respect and courtesy you will receive the same in return. Be a prick, you will be treated like a prick.

Norman is a day trip for me for football, but I've stayed there overnight several times for baseball. For a football trip, the ideal places usually have lodging within walking distance of the stadium, and that's not really the case in Norman. That being the case, I might consider staying in OKC in Bricktown (about a 30 minute drive) and have some better Friday night entertainment options than staying in one of the hotels on I-35 in Norman. On gameday, I like to park in the residential neighborhood west of campus (there is an elementary school over there where the PTA used to sell parking spaces). Most of the public parking is south of the stadium around the basketball venue, and it takes a long time to get out of that lot and get moving post-game as all this traffic has to use Highway 9, whereas the residential neighborhood I mention gives you the option to get on I-35 at Lindsey or Main. There wasn't much tailgating back when I last went to Norman, but that might have changed.

Would like to go to Norman, once. Will Boz be there?

Been to Austin two too many times. No thanks.

Oklahoma's coming to our place next year, but I'd like to take the trip out to Norman in the future and check it out. It's a reasonably close road trip for me as conference road games go.

I’d like to go to Norman. I’ve been to Austin a lot. I know this OOC, but I’m really looking at the Wisconsin game. I’ve heard that Madison is a great place to see a game.
