i'm still surprised that uga/fla fans don't want a 3 year rotation with home/home/jax. that to me would be the best of both worlds. you get the jax scene but, you also get the campuses.

My preference would be for A/N to be in Philly. Just about as "middle ground" as you can get.

One of my favorite A/N tees has: "In the City of Brotherly Love, Sometimes Brothers Fight"


Had a military prof who told us all about the Rose Bowl A/N game. Too costly to get the Brigade and Corps out there.

That '93 game in The Meadowlands....just miserable. Fricken wool overcoat gets mighty heavy in freezing rain.

Army Navy is really an amazing historical fixture. And yes, it is best if always held at a neutral site. Love the pageantry surrounding The Army Navy Game. Attending it is on my bucket list.

I agree. I went to the game in 2011, and had a great time. And I do like Jacksonville. But yea.. every year?? Uuugh!!!

If Jacksonville made a stink about losing the game, maybe they could do odd years in J'ville and even years as a campus rotation, thus J'ville gets it 50% of the time (as opposed to your suggestion (33% of the time)

Which is why Auburn rightly had a beef with having to play a "neutral" game every season in Alabama's home stadium.


Such a lazy argument. If the stadium is on neither team’s campus and the ticket split is 50/50, how much more neutral can you be?

Do Colorado and Colo St still play in Denver every year?

The mere notion or mention of purposefully going on vacation to Birmingham has me contemplating suicide. Just too sad, pathetic, demoralizing, etc.
