Only 1 home game in 2026, help me choose
Posted on 1/20/26 at 3:45 pm

I live 2,500+ miles from BR, so I can only make it to one home game next season.
Here are the contenders:
1. Clemson
Pros: Season opener energy.
2. Texas
Pros: New SEC heavyweight and a chance of watching the Manning family cry in person.
3. Bama
Pros: LSU v. Bama. The last annual matchup.
If you had one game which do you pick?

Clemson….
First opening HOME game of worth in years…. Not some neutral site bs.
The energy will be off the charts with the Lane hype.

If I could only do 1 I would go to one of the last two just due to weather. I mean I will probably be at the all of them but those opening games are brutally stupid hot and miserable.

Texas
2 offensive geniuses
Manning vs Leavitt
Probably will have high stakes

That’s a REALLY good point, I’ve adapted to 75 degree summer highs.

Texas because they’ve owed us a return since 2020 and I’d love to beat another manning in tiger stadium and be there to witness it
Posted on 1/20/26 at 4:05 pm to jlbasm
definitely Texas

2. Texas - your reasoning is motivating.
Otherwise,witnessing a bama loss to lsu is tops in excitement.

I wouldn’t like waiting until November for my 1st game of the season.
A&M > Clemson although Clemson is the first one.

The opener will be at night it’s not 100degrees at night…. first game under Kiffin it’s going to be electric.

Texas....for a number of reasons.
1. The game is in November. Sure the Clemson game will be much anticipated and a great atmosphere. Especially with it being Kiffin's first game. But it's also Sept 5th....which means its about a 99.5% chance the temp that day will be hot as hell...with the possibility of rain and, even if remotely, a hurricane. If nothing else, November is a much more pleasant weather month in BR.
2. This would be the first time Texas has played in BR since 1953. Yes, Clemson has never played in BR. But people from LA don't really think much about South Carolina. However, they do have to live next to their large (sometimes) obnoxious neighbor to the west on a daily basis.
3. If things go well, it could be a very big game for both teams. WAY too early to tell, but the general perspective is Clemson is a fading program while Texas, with an experienced QB and continued recruiting success could be a CFP contender. Texas also looks to have a VERY favorable schedule leading up to the LSU game. (1) they don't play Georgia or Alabama; (2) They play Ohio St at home (3) of the 6 SEC games before LSU, only 1, Mizzou, is a true road game. The rest are at home/neutral sites.
Yes. Last year on Sept 5 it was a "pleasant" 91 at 7:00 pm with a "feels like" temp of 97. Almost like being in San Deigo

Do you even tailgate?

Will be at a wedding in TN for Clemson, but that is going to be one of the more fun games in Death Valley of the last few years. This is the most exciting season opener we have had at home in the last 25 years.

Surely they would be here for the Kiffin Show…. However, let me tell you the other likely option for Gameday
Ole Miss vs Louisville in Nashville

Texas, we will need asses in the seats for that game.
Posted on 1/20/26 at 4:31 pm to nicholastiger
Texas could be a mega game

Bama. Atmosphere is going to be off the charts. Always is for the Gumps
