Preciate it. I'll text coach and tell him we don't even have to make a trip into south Carolina this year. We already know the outcomes.

Both are good trips. Clemson might be interesting just for its resemblance to Auburn -- and Auburn should be heavily favored in that game, so you're more likely to go home happy (not kidding -- CU has bad problems offensively).

Clemson is a really pretty small town located in the mountains with an on-campus lake. The gameday atmosphere is superb - if you can stomach all that orange. Their death valley is loud; the running down the hill and touching the rock is cool; and the view from the steep upper deck where you will be sitting is picturesque. It is one of the few ACC venues with an SEC-quality game day experience.

Going to Carolina is also a great trip IMHO. Williams-Brice is about 2 miles from the campus next to the state fairgrounds. The good thing thing is parking and room for tailgating. The bad thing is it is not as pretty as on-campus tailgating. Many visitors don't even visit the campus. You can hang with Auburn fans at your own tailgate or just walk through the fairgrounds and talk football with Gamecocks -- who will be happy to feed and drink you (just like LSU fans, except no "Tiger Baits" and the food isn't as spicy). Before you go in, check out the cockabooses on the south side of the stadium.

If you're coming in on Friday, Columbia has way more to do than Clemson in terms of bars and restaurants. Gameday atmosphere is also superb -- our student section rocks.

Clemson does love the noon games. They figure it is more family friendly. Plus, since they are in a small town in the western corner of the state with few nearby hotels, it makes travel easier for the fans.

There's not much in or near Clemson for Auburn people to do when the game is over. Maybe drive to Atlanta to spend the night.

It's an hour and a half to my front door from Clemson. I know what I'll be doing when the game is over.

How old are you? If you’re college kids I can all-but guarantee you’ll have more fun at Clemson.

Clemson: Auburn's campus plus a lake. And more rednecks. One good bar (Tiger Town Tavern is actually really cool), the rest is MEHHHHH.


Columbia: A glorious combination of a college town and an capitol city. 60 bars/restaurants at your fingertips.



You decide.






If you decide to come to Columbia, please let us know. We were planning on having a Ranters tailgate stop-by, so we'll treat you right
