Trust me the feeling walking out of their with a loss by our shitty team to their shitty team was, well...shitty.

Wouldn't trade the experience though. Swung by Estes Park and took in the sights on Friday morining. Hung out downtown Boulder on Friday which was awesome. Had a ballin UGA tailgate that pre-sold 10,000 tickets with free food and alcohol. Got to see one fo the best plays of AJ Green's career (which is saying something), and see a new stadium I'll never see again. I've posted pics before, it was a great trip.

Considering Houstin has more LSU grads than all of LA and Dallas more than anyone outside of Hou, BR and NO, I don't think you can really count those.

I think you've got a point, there. There's a difference between packing up and traveling over 500 miles and having the Louisiana diaspora that lives in Texas drive 90 minutes for a game. That's not to be belittle LSU, but simply to observe the fact that LSU fans living in Houston showing up at Kyle isn't quite as impressive as it might seem.

I'd be curious to find out which fan bases actually travel, as opposed to those that just have fans in situ show up (like Notre Dame fans that come out of the woodwork when the Irish come to town, but whom have never been to South Bend, and probably don't even know it's in Indiana).

I've had multiple friends across opposing fan bases tell me that TN always brings the most, but I think a lot of that has to do with how much the orange stands out.
