re: Best roadtrip?

If your only options are just AU and UT, go to Auburn. It's one of my favorite trips.

If you do it completely right, you might have more fun in knoxville, especially if you aren't going to the game and just tailgating. Calhoun's will be packed with dawg fans and that's where the vol navy parks. If you are personable you can maybe work your way onto a boat and chill there. However, that doesnt' really give you a campus experience.

Auburn doesn't really have one particular spot to hit like knoxville does, but it's a better setting. Weather won't be as nice as in knoxville, but you get a campus feel and I feel like the overall atmosphehre will be better for the game. Plus it's closer to you.
