Lol, I believe you're right.

Nice victory Northwestern Wildcats!

I like this Michigan State team. Let's see what can happen in East Lansing over the next couple years.

Rutgers and Michigan owe us all drinks and Michigan State must pay the tip!

Huge game Saturday night in the Lane Kiffin Bowl.
LSU vs
Ole Miss
I hope Ole Miss pounds the Tigers!

Down in Lubbock we have a nice matchup.
Houston vs
Texas Tech

In the ACC
SMU vs
Louisville
The Cardinals need this victory to keep their CFP hopes alive.

These teams hated each other before Lane jumped ship. Should be crazy in Oxford. I actually saw Ole Miss play LSU in Baton Rouge and the environment was insane. Saw Ole Miss host Tulane and it was still a very lively crowd. Should be a great environment.

I'm jealous! I'll get to a Southern game one of these days. It's on my bucket list and Oxford is on that list.

We now try to do one game a year and not one involving my beloved Wolverines. Going to see Auburn host Vandy in another week or so. It’s fun seeing how the SEC schools do it. Very friendly people and lots of fun. I definitely recommend it.

War Eagle!

Auburn was a great college town and the fans were amazing. Definitely one of my favorite road trips to date. I would highly recommend taking a trip just to see how other around the country celebrate college football.

If my health allows it, I'm definitely making a trip down the next couple of seasons. I'm happy you had a great time down there!
