@ 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 in the SEC. As I have visited Florida and came away not so impressed by the whole gameday atmosphere, I am looking for other teams right now. While LSU and Texas A&M seem too far away for this trip(I’ll probably be going on a 2/3 weeks trip to Texas in 2016, so will be going to A&M and LSU then), I;m focusing on Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina or Tennessee for this trip.
Like I said earlier from my 150+ game dvd’s collection and watching College Football every Saturday in the fall I surely have some favorite teams, but I also want to see as many teams, stadiums and enjoy gameday atmospheres as I can.
I know College Football in the state of Alabama is the most important thing. That’s something I really like about both Alabama and Auburn. For me to see pure passion about College Football, that’s the kind of thing I want to see and experience. Talk to people who love the game even more then I do. Tailgate with them, party with them and enjoy good company!
@prof – Thanks for the suggestion of Cade’s cove! I will surely look into it! I already started looking at Hotels, lodges and cabins around Gatlinburg. I have to admit it looks breathtaking and we can’t wait to be there. When the sec schedule comes out and me and my girlfriend has a better idea how many days we can go on honeymoon, I’ll be sure to make an account on volnation(probably gonna do that a lot earlier) to talk to people and maybe ask some more questions.
@ ericvol2096 – Georgia @ Tennessee seems like a good game, if the Alabama@Georgia game is the week after that, It looks like a good road trip for a 10 days(in the Gatlinburg area) 1 day in knoxville for the game, 7 days in Gatlinburg(in a cabin) and then 2 days in Athens . The day after the Georgia game we could ride to Atlanta and fly back home.
