Athens has definitely been my favorite so far. I've heard Knoxville is the best. Looking forward to it. I would love to do UK as well

For those of us that haven't been to Athens, could someone explain why it is so special?

LOL wtf. Me too. This is ridiculous. You have to think they're restructure the schedule before 2025, though. We'll add another team or two by then.

I liked it for the simple reason that the bar scene was lively but relaxed. There's a ton of places, so it's easy to find a spot to chill out and eat and drink. This was crucial for us because our travel party didn't have a tailgate planned, so we were on our own.

if you're college aged- lower 30s its a great trip, their bar set up is great, tailgating is on point, and the weather isn't humid as frick.

I can see the older crowd not really digging the scene and preferring other trips though

So if Tennessee finally beats them, Bama can still go undefeated or 1 loss in conference play and backdoor into an SEC title game? No thanks. I prefer conference games to count.

they have to schedule a team NC from a power conference yearly anyway so this would fit that criteria. I mean Tenn is about = to an OK ACC team.

Well we also have to convince Ole Piss, Miss State, Ky and Vandy that we need to rotate all non-divisional opponents. If they would vote our way then it wouldn't matter what UA,UT,UGA,AU want.

I don't care for Saban but he was the only one who was okay with a 9-game conference schedule.

I made it too, for this very reason

Had an absolute blast, minus the outcome
