@ m2pro – Thanks for everything you said. I will marry mid-september and right after that we will go on vacation to the united states. So I can’t go to the games late October or November. Fortunately I like hot and humid!
I know about all the traditions and sure have some favorite teams especially...

I imagine there are lots of places in Gatlinburg and certainly Knoxville where I can buy Tennessee Vols gear, but do you know some stores who sell Memorabilia and art/prints/paintings from the Vols?...

@ TDS Beer - we would only go to to Miami for the Nebraska game, so I hoped the thousands of traveling Nebraska fans would bring to real College atmosphere.
Yes, the overall gameday atmosphere at Florida lacked what I was hoping. Nevertheless being inside the Swamp made everything worthwhile. I ha...

@ BigOrangeBri - Nashville sounds like a nice city, but I saw on the map it's a little far from Orlando.
Jack Daniels distillery sounds good :bow:
@ HMFIC - Never been to FA Pickles, but I have to say i'm not often in Utrecht. I live really near Rotterdam, so I'm most often there!
Yes, since w...

@ SpringBokCock - We really appreciate all your insight and information! After your latest message I talked to my girlfriend about it.
First we know 3 weeks in Orlando for the theme parks and shopping sounds like a long time. In 2011 we already spent 12 days in Orlando for the theme parks and sho...

Yes I knew about that game, would certainly be a good option, if it wasn't that my wedding date is set on 12 september.
Yes I know it's a good thing I don't live in the States cause a wedding on a saturday in the fall is blasphemy :lol:
If we would live in the States(my biggest dream!!) I certainl...

@ Undecided - Thanks for your advice. Honeymoon is set for Orlando and mostly resolves around Disney and the other theme parks for a period of 3 weeks. I made the deal with my soon to be wife that we could go to 2 College Football games in those 3 weeks. So how its looking right now we will drive on...

Tennessee is right up there on our bucket list. I also think tennessee is on their way back, while 2015 my be a year early for that. I can dream the words from rocky top and if there's a way I can watch a Tennessee game I always make sure to hit my "I will give my all for Tennessee today" sign! Who ...

@ PortcityTiger - LSU is my dream destination, but more then 10 hours is a little too long for the missus :lol:. In The Netherlands that equals at almost driving to Spain.
But to get back at LSU. The Stadium, the fans, the noise, the atmosphere against other teams(fans) is equal to my favorite home...

I still have no idea why so many people think I am not genuine, but i will response to the people who have made some good comments!
@ WG_Dawg - Thank u for your information about Georgia! It definetly stands at or near the top for a visit and the game against Alabama sounds like a great game. Onl...

Thanks everyone who has responded! Any more ideas are welcome. Georgia sounds like a real good time, like I expected!
I seem to notice not everyone thinks my question is genuine (alter? I don't know what it exactly means), i have no idea why I gave some of you that idea, but I can assure you tha...

Yes, FSU is not really an option for us, even the missus did not really liked FSU!
South Carolina is a good team with a sometimes rocking atmosphere, but we both don't like the fact their stadium is 3 miles off campus. We would like an on campus stadium, for the tailgating and walking on campus.

Thanks for your answer!
I will be going in 2015( around 15 september till 5 october 2015), not in 2014. I know the schedules have not come out yet for most teams, so for the specific games I have to wait till october i thought.
It's not only about the best games, but certainly also for the other t...

Good Morning,
Let me first introduce myself, my name is Byron and I'm probably the biggest College Football fan in The Netherlands.
Since 2005 i'm folowing College Football religiously. The first game I saw was Vanderbilt@Florida.
After that game I started searching more and more information ...
