Holy frick. It’s a good thing you have a week to get from college station to Jacksonville. It might take 5 days just because of traffic.

Week 1: UT Chattanooga at Tennessee
that game kicks off at 12:45 EDT, i would suggest after its over that you consider driving the <3 hrs to Lexington to catch the 7:45 kick of Southern Miss @ UK

two games in one day has always been a goal for me, early season is the easiest way to pull it off

I think the closest I’ll come to that is going to Miss St at Ole Miss the day after Thanksgiving, and likely will go back to BR right after that, so might make LSU vs OU as well the next day.

I have numerous friends at UTK, so it seemed like a good place to start and spend some more time.

Most of the pre-game fun happens miles away at condos and beach houses.


Not on gameday when kickoff is 3:30. People get up in their condos and get to the lots early. The days leading up to gameday, of course they play golf and party on the beaches. But not on gameday. The JAX tailgating scene is excellent on gameday. There's a reason it is called the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail party.

I might tweak my travels and throw Auburn and/or Arkansas in the mix somewhere. Other than that, I'm missing Kentucky, Mizzou, SC, Oklahoma, and Vanderbilt. Couldn't make them all and had to make some decisions.


so for once, this is a cool story and hope you have a blast and slay a co-ed in every town

but you need to get to an auburn game fro sure.

NW Ark is beautiful and SC has a cool stadium and OU has tons of tradition but you have to get to auburn. one of the iconic venues and an awesome town

Knoxville is a great town. Go downtown or to Old City instead of the strip (Cumberland). You’re young enough that can still enjoy the strip but Market Square and Gay Street are a lot cooler, as is Old City.

there is NOTHING on tv that can replicate the feeling of being there among the crowd and seeing the action up close.

I love driving more than almost anything. Since I got my license seven years ago I’ve driven ~170K miles between a few cars. I keep record of everywhere I’ve been, here is my map as of now and hope to expand it:

Sounds cool. But you really call it the “ultimate” SEC road trip if you’re not even going to take in a single game at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Yes. I've been in blue country for far too long. It's time to return home.

You're right, I might rework it so Week 4 I go to Arkansas at Auburn instead of Florida at Miss St. Would be more traveling. Would you choose Auburn over Starkville?
