Oh, and for the record, UIUC. They can throw down in Champaign. Any town whose name sounds like a variety of booze is all right with me.

2. What’s the road trip destination you want to take most?
Based on our schedule – Auburn in 2009. But just because I can, I want to go to a game at Ole’ Miss. I’ve heard good things.

We want Morgantown at night. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fire booze WOOOOOO!!!
Indeed, sir…. indeed. I would love to meet TCOAN.

3. What’s your essential road gadget?
My iPod

4. What’s your most impressive road performance?
Somewhere in Utah in June.

It’s better watching from the boat on Lake Washington than it is inside, believe me. As someone who has been to games at both the Swamp and Husky Stadium, there is absolutely no comparison. The atmosphere, intensity, fans and the stadium itself is far superior down in Hogtown. Husky fans love to tout how great it is there, and that must be because they’ve never experienced games at places like Florida, Auburn, LSU, PSU, OSU, Mich, etc.

My list:

1. LSU, at night. Loud, loud, loud. And a heckuva lot of fun.

2. Camp Randall for a rivalry game

3. A health supply of Tums. Gadget? Probably GPS and a radar detector, especially if you’re driving the back country roads to Auburn. P.S. Don’t speed through Enigma (that’s not a typo).

4. Driving to Philly for Spring Fling at Penn. Those Ivy Leaguers sure can drink, and it’s definitely necessary to overcome the lack of female talent. I’ve never seen so many decent looking college guys with 2 am last call looking women. But oh, the philly steaks.

For some reason, your folks lost interest in it, once we put our program on a sound footing. Or is it really that much more fun to compete for the Commander-in-Chief’s trophy?

1b) Overall: Cotton Bowl for the RRS… Always… forever…

2) Oooh, tough one. If Syracuse ever gets good again and can pack the house, I’d like to see a game in the Carrier Dome.

3) Tickets!!

4) (warning… band dork moment) Deciding to go on the pep-band trip Boulder for OU/Colorado in 2003. The only problem I wasn’t on the list of those taking the trip. I did not have a seat on the bus, was not on the room reservation list, and did not have per diem set aside for me… and yet somehow I wound up with all three. No one ever found out.

2. To Penn State, unless OSU would play in Baton rouge. My college roomates went to state college in 05, and despite the loss, said it was great. They went with no hotel, slept in their car in november, and all had puked in the car throughout the night.

3. Since I lost my vintage OSU Swim-Team t-shirt, I will have to say cases of natty/busch light.

4. Going to UM in 05. Chugging a bottle of Captain, pushing my passed-out friends face into his own puke, doing a 40 second keg stand, accidentally shitting on the lid of the toilet in the womens room, since the mens room was out of service, and getting lost in ann arbor.

2) Oxford for the view.

3) Car keys. I’ve lost them too many times to count. Each time I was royally fucked.

4) Spring baseball trip in college. I got some “Southern Hospitality” on the short grass in front of the pitcher’s mound in the Red Sox stadium in Winter Haven before the Grounds Keep turned on the sprinkler’s at 4 am., and I also was treated to the same hospitality in Dothan Alabama by the equivilant of Gator Getters, and the same happened at Chipola College in the pan handle.

2.) Hawaii / UNLV – Not sure I could survive tailgating in Vegas, but I’d damn well try.

3.) Ipod and a prepaid bail bond.

4.) I karaoked Rocky Top at “The Cats Meow” in New Orleans during Mardi Gras..and only suffered minor bruising from a tossed bottle.

2. Iron Bowl–would love to feel the hate in the air, and see some Southern rivalry. Also, would love to catch a game anywhere else in the SEC. A game in Hawaii would be pretty sweet too.

3. Vital for games? My Armed Forces Network satellite, a waffle iron, and coffee. Getting up at 2 AM to catch the game requires, nay–DEMANDS caffeine. My roommate and I used to get up at 1 AM, fix pancakes and drink bloody marys while watching CFB until noon, but those days are over.

4. I just moved to Kumamoto (think Japan’s Iowa) from the Tokyo area–getting here required a 24 ride on a ferry and then driving through mountain roads in a typhoon. Seriously, they closed the expressway because of fog, and diverted us to a 2-lane (read: 1.5 lane in US size) road through mountains worse than West Virgina–and this makes sense how??
