Do you still get a souvenir bat when you take the tour? I know that for a while there were issues if you tried to take it on a flight out of the city.

Too many people, both famous (JJ Watt, Paul Finebaum, Ella Langley) and not famous have met Freddy and his crew for it to be a hoax account.
I'm curious what other games they are planning on going to. I think they flew into Chicago and then went to Iowa City for CyHawk, then Auburn for AU/UF, now to Baton Rouge for LSU/aTm.
I know he said they also wanted to do an American Octoberfest and a couple of other things besides football.
Oh, LSU, y'all better step it up. They had field access at Iowa and Auburn. Auburn even let them walk in Tiger Walk.

If they were to build a U-shaped bypass from 75 between Chattanooga and Atlanta, have it go south to 20 but west of the loop, down to 85, then cut back across to 75, you'd solve a solid chunk of the truck traffic in that city. Have it cut back up to 20 then 85 to the east of town and 99% of truckers would take that bypass instead of the loop.
What you are describing is what was called the "outer loop" or "outer perimeter" in the 90s/early 2000s.
A bunch of NIMBYs who lived out in the country pitched a fit because they didn't want an interstate level highway in their area and it never got off the ground. By now the land would be way too expensive to buy up to build it.

real genius idea to have three major interstates meet in one spot in the middle of a major city. Excellent foresight
When the Interstates were built in the 50s/60s the thought that freight would be hauled through the city as much, if not more, via truck than train was unthinkable.
Also, I don't think the highway planners foresaw the rise of the suburb to suburb commute. If people weren't using 285 to go from Gwinnett County to Sandy Springs or from Marietta to the airport and back and allowed it to be the bypass that it was planned to be the truck traffic might be bearable.

Posted by PJinAtl on 9/22/26 at 7:21 pm to Gimme back that fish
It will help with traffic on 65 between Mobile and Montgomery, but that's about it. Eventually 85 is going to have to be widened to 3 lanes each way between Mobile and the AL/GA line or, ideally, the Kia plant. Until then trucks servicing Kia are going to keep 85 super busy.
Georgia just built a new intermodal yard in Hall County Northeast of Atlanta that connects to Savannah (and maybe Brunswick) so the ports can ship containers there without having to truck through Atlanta. State DOT is also building truck only lanes on 75 between Atlanta and Macon. I think the state has finally realized that they have to shift commercial traffic out of Atlanta when possible.

He says his gut instinct was telling him that Atta was obviously a terrorist, but that profiling was against the law.
I saw on one of the shows this year that airport security at Dulles (I believe) flagged a couple of the hijackers as persons of interest but once they boarded the plane nothing else was done.
The reasoning was that the prevailing thought was that if terrorists were going to do anything they would put a bomb in luggage and then stay behind and not be on the flight. They never expected suicidal terrorists. After all the years of suicide bombers in the middle east they never expected it here.

Cost inflation is going to hurt a lot of places.

Williams, AZ and take train excursion to/from Grand Canyon
Only downside is this greatly limits your time in the park. Iirc, the train only stays at the park about 3 hours before it goes back south. If you have your own vehicle you can set your own pace go out towards the eastern end of the park and see Desert Watchtower and places that the shuttle doesn't go.

Route 66 runs right through Williams
They have done a great job making a few blocks look like it did back in the peak of Route 66: travel with a diner and filling station, etc.
US 17 is a hotbed for history. Go south to St Simons and you have the colonial Christ Church settlement, and Fort Frederica. Moving north you have Fort King George in Darien. Then closer to Savannah Fort Pulaski and the old Wormsloe estate.

Four straight weeks on SEC campuses (LSU, Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee).
Have they ever done that before for any conference? I don't remember it, especially not to open the season.

Back in the 80s/90s everyone was convinced it was a secret project called Aurora based on a term in a DoD budget for a supposed black project.
I think back then the speculation was a hypersonic replacement for the SR-71.

3,600 seconds in a football game. Vandy had the lead for 1 of them.

Would have loved to have had a clip or a still from the '93 game. I think it was Jason Miska who was standing over the UF quarterback after a sack. I want to say the photo was the cover shot of the Sports Illustrated season review commemorative.

Lady in the first mugshot can look you up and down and never have to move her eyes.
Maybe, but I think the big difference is that Tubs was recruited to Auburn by the Yella Fella and it was kept very hush hush.
Kiffin kinda whored himself out and made it a public spectacle in flirting with LSU and Florida.

There was one episode, maybe 1995ish, where they were watching an Iron Maiden video, and I can't remember if it was Beavis or Butthead, but one of them remarks something about if Maiden ever did an episode of Unplugged they would still bring the explosion machine.
Such a simple joke but it has always stuck with me as hilarious.
