We are planning to go to the Auburn @ Clemson game and Navy @ South Carolina games on the same day - September 17th. Kick offs are at 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

What do you think?

Any advice is welcomed.

TIA

PS: And yes we are idiots.

I think that is an amazing idea. I have thought about trying to go to a Bama game and then ride to starkville for a the nightcap if that ever lines up right. But how often does Bama play at noon and then state play at night on the same Saturday? not very often. And if they do, it's cuz bama is playing a shitty team, so this will never happen.

Last year I did Ga Tech/NC State and AU/USCe on the same day.

Advice...make sure you are at the portal of the exit on the last play fo teh game. Dont still be in your seat or you add at elast an hour trying to get to the next game.

I've never heard of anybody going to 2 games in one day.

Good luck! Should be fun!

How far of a drive is it from Clemson to Columbia?

I've heard Clemson is a clusterfrick to get out of. If the game isn't over until 3:30, you're gonna have to hightail it to get to Columbia. May need to leave the Clemson game about the 3rd quarter.

i've done it a few times before... back before they added the Southern Connector that can get you from I-85 to I-385 w/o going through Mauldin, so it's all interstate.

when SC and Clemson both have home games, the SC Highway Patrol is very lax on speeding because so many troopers are assigned to security & traffic for the games. so you should be able to easily make it stadium to stadium w/i 2 hours if you don't get bogged down in CLemson traffic. Traffic into Columbia to the stadium flows pretty easily because it's all major roads and the stadium is located next to the state fairgrounds.

Clemson-Columbia is 2 hours.

AU-CU will be a better game than SC-NAVY. So if you do stay the game, you may miss a some the 1st quarter based on when the 1st game ends. This and Citadel are the only two games I'm confident we will blow them out.

Clemson traffic can suck pretty bad after a game.

Good luck buddy. I did this last year, went to UGA vs ULL at 12pm and then to Atlanta for UNC vs LSU at 8pm. I was tired but it was awesome.

Sounds like fun. In 2003 I was able to do the LSU/Ole Miss game on Saturday, the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving, and LSU/Arkansas on Friday. Other than the Egg Bowl being a blowout in a monsoon, it was a bunch of fun.

I went to 2 in the same day in 2003. Bama/Arkansas in Tuscaloosa that ending up going into double overtime.

Then drove to Starkville for LSU/Miss. State that night.

Made for a long day, but it was fun.
