Not sure what to do this year. Would love to travel to Atlanta and watch Kirby's career begin, but I just don't know if I can sacrifice the 14+ hours on the couch with this lineup:

7:30 - GA Tech v. BC
12:00 - OU v. HOU
12:00 - Mizzou @ WVU
3:30 - UCLA v. aTm
3:30 - LSU v. Wisky
5:30 - UGA v. UNC
8:00 - USC v. Bama
9:00 - Clemson @ AU

Sad that GT will draw more fans for a game in Ireland than Atlanta

We'll be in Atlanta August 30, for a football reunion with about a dozen couples. Some golf and dining and telling the same old stories we've been telling at games for 40+ years. Maybe a drink or two.
After the game we're off to Maine for some fly fishing and family time.

Definitely be tailgating as the sun rises near teh dome somemwhere. After the game probably head home and flip back and forth between the night games. Should be a great day.

I will be in Colorado at a Bud and Breakfast along with seven good friends that I've known for over 40 years. I'll be DVR'ing every game with WMC on my home computer and streaming all the games to Colorado with Plex Media Server. Go Dawgs. Go Mountaineers.

I'll be in Atlanta for the game. Tailgating in one of the lots (either yellow or blue) for most of the day. Hoping to be able to find tv close by if someone in our group doesn't bring one. There's too much good football on that day.

Keeping it simple. Setting up the TV on the back deck with a large cooler of beer nearby. Fire up the weber grills to cook some butts along with stuff from the garden. Have a few friends over to eat some food and watch the game(s).
Probably let the birds have the field for opening day of dove season and then shoot on Sunday (If I have my dates right). Man I do enjoy that time of year.

I will be in ATL. One of my best friends has a parking spot at the dome so we'll be tailgating with a bunch of friends awaiting to watch the Kirby era get underway. Hopefully we will have a TV setup so we can watch some football during the day because it really is an awesome slate on opening weekend.
