Putting this question to you with respect to your SEC team. Different teams have different stances on OOC/neutral site scheduling, and their fanbases feel differently too.

Would you jump at the chance to see your team play overseas? Would you go? Bring the balls & chains, or make it a guy's trip?

Happy to see GT/Boston College game in Ireland in 2016 is back on. Bunch of us will plan to go.

Which teams from SEC would be the best or most likely ambassadors to somewhere such as Europe? If your team were to go, what realistic place would you want to see them play and who against?

I think it would be great to give Alabama international exposure.

All 5 of our rivals are within driving distance so, nah, I'm good.

I think Bama has gotten enough international exposure by sending their Sugar Bowl Champs t-shirts to third world countries around the world these past 2 years.

I think the fewer countries that know about Alabama, the better.

No I would not want them too, but I would go overseas to see them.

Can some of the "No's" give why? Just curious because I'm pumped and can't imagine a scenario where I wouldn't think it was cool as hell.

SEC fanbases generally place a high value on tradition and playing on Southern campuses.

Tech fans generally place a high value on Thursday night games and noon kickoffs so they can make their Saturday night LAN parties and WOW quests.

Other than that, no.

We'll just agree to disagree here.

Is it the big island to the West of the UK?

C'mon, Swoop. Do better.
