I keep meaning to go to a Maryland game at some point, since it's so close, and I usually get offered tickets by friends at some point every season, but just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Maybe this year I'll go to one. Their two best home games this year are Michigan and Penn State, but Penn State is on Thanksgiving weekend, so I might not be in town for that one.

In the past, I've gone to an Ole Miss-Georgia game in Oxford in 1981 (saw Herschel's famous somersault TD run right into the end zone where I was sitting), an Ole Miss-Tulane game in the Superdome around '89 or '90, and a La. Tech-Central Florida game in Ruston around '98 (UCF had Daunte Culpeper and Tech had a WR that had 400+ receiving yards vs. Nebraska the week before).

Living in Florida now. I'll be going to Miami games, a FSU game and possibly the cocktail party. Only Auburn games I will make are Iron Bowl and MSU.

I may go see a memphis game because it is conveniently close to me. I may just walk over to the stadium drink beers and then walk back home when they kickoff to watch SEC football

May try to catch on of the BC or UMass games during our bye.

BC plays UConn at Fenway this year, should be an interesting (read "cheap") experience.

I know all of this. I root for tech as my second favorite team. My grandpa and one of my uncles played there.

Auburn and one of the Mississippi schools. Back to back weeks, so whichever one fits the schedule better.

Makes perfect sense you'd be sure to be at the Auburn game. Gotta pay homage to where y'all got your entire identity from.

That and the fact that I live here.

They hand out Tech tickets in Atlanta like its Halloween candy, so I make it to quite a few tech games

Miami games I'd save myself the headache. It's brutally hot in that stadium, and boring as hell if it's not a big game(basically UF or FSU). I mean it's freaking brutal.

Tennessee-GaTech at the Sphincter Dome.

Wife's a Vol and its her birthday present.

I'm happy regardless who wins.

Should hit a few Arkansas State games, working on getting Iron Bowl World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party tickets-- haven't done either before, and wish to do both before I get too old to do so.

Will likely hit at least one Tulsa game this year as well.

Moved out west, really want to catch a University of Oregon or University of Washington game just to experience a Pac-12 game. Heard the Washington tailgates are fun, might be worth checking it out.

FSU is a pretty good scene, even for opposing fans.

Stadium was only 3/4 full in their opener last year against Rutgers.

Yeah, I looked at the whole B.C. home schedule and that was the best game.

Sorry, I see you're going to BC. I had it backwards.
Never seen a game at BC, but the campus and the Beacon Hill neighborhood is beautiful.

Ah cool. Yep they know how to score points. I just hope we score more than they do, Good early test for our new defense. Any team that scores 620 points in a season I do not overlook, that's for damn sure.
