I will travel to Athens, Tuscaloosa, Gainesville, Knoxville and Baton Rouge, but those trips to Texas and Missouri are ludicrous.

How do you guys get the money to make these trips?

UGA, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida is 5-8 hours away.

College Station and Columbia is 13-15 hours away from the Plains.

Bad decision by the SEC. You guys much be rich.

Probably a good thing. We don't like a bunch of poor arse hicks around anyway. Enjoy what you can afford.

It's what non-lazy folk like to call...working.

I've been as far as Columbia, SC to watch Arkansas. I've traveled to Orlando for a bowl game. I've been down to Austin for the 2003 arse whipping we handed them.

It's called enjoying life. It's what my father used to tell me...Work hard, Play harder.

If you're interested in a trip to scenic Starkville, ms, I'll rent you a room for the night in my trailer. The room should sleep 4 comfortably with 2 on the bunk beds I got at the army surplus store and 2 on the floor. I have a bar stocked with Smirnoff vodka and cans of natural light. I'll even shuttle you and your group to the game in the back of my '86 f150. If you're interested, let me know

The only time I've ever NOT had a bad time in the state of Texas was going down to Jerry's World to watch Arkansas kick the shite out of Kansas State. Every other time I've been into that state, I have become depressed. Place sucks arse. I don't even know where College Station is, but I've seen a few pics of their campus, and the place, predictably, looks like a shithole.

I bet Columbia, Missouri is much, much nicer. I will go there to watch a Hogs game.

Look for a conference that occurs the same time around the game and have my employer pay for me to go present research.

Have been to college station. Not much to talk about. But you can prob say that about most towns in sec. Strong college town ok bar scene. Would be willing to visit mizzou but seems unlikely.

Why did you post this?
What type of feedback were you hoping to receive?

Every major athletic conference is comprised of schools that require some travel effort.
For whatever reason, folks from AL and MS go nuts at the thought of having to utilize an airport.
It's the same argument made whenever talk of moving/rotating the SEC baseball tournament arises.

You're the minority.

Some Aggies offered me homegrown peppers from their garden at the tailgate. They assumed I couldn't handle it. Joke was on them ate a couple habanero to help out my drinking pace, went into game lit.

We went to College Station last year for the AU game. Had a blast. You're missing out on a great place.

That being said I wouldn't go to Columbia Missouri if hell froze over.
