November 8Nov 8 Popular Post Bye week musings. We should play at Hawaii at least once a decade. I don’t care if the rainbow warriors come here, I just want an excuse to go to Hawaii. We should play at Tulane at least every 4 years. New Orleans is the best city in the south and we should have a presence there so that our fans can get their gumbo and our team can steal LSU’s recruits. We should schedule a game in Colorado (CU, CSU, Air Force, take your pick) at least every 5 years so that our fans go to the mountains. And we should go play Washington at Husky stadium so that @immamac can throw a boats and hoes sail gate party. Where else should we schedule road trips?
November 8Nov 8 Somewhere international, partner up with another school and play a game in Mexico or Europe like the NFL does. Texas is a big enough name and it could be cool for the school. Don’t lose a home game over it though.
November 8Nov 8 Popular Post Washington and Oregon are my 1 and 2. UCLA again so we can go back to the Rose Bow. Stanford/Cal for another trip to the Bay area and because we wouldn't have the majority of the fans there. I also would love another series with USC. We're forever linked to one another. Screw anything international. Home and homes only. That's college football. Edited November 8Nov 8 by mdmost

If you already annoy him might as well continue. Shit, we should try and play them around Veterans Day. Let's do it before we change the name of our stadium.
November 8Nov 8 Boise is a great town. PNW stuff would be cool. No road game where there’s already a bowl we might end up in like Rose or Sugar.

I think Hawaii is still pissed at us for DeLoss cancelling the game about 25 years ago. The game was fun in 1995.

November 8Nov 8 Hey, you’re playing at Auburn in 2029! What more could you ask for? Hillbillies, Ho’s, No-neck Monstahs, Lies and Lyahs! Possum Hair Stadium, in which actual live possums scurry before kickoff and our national bird is abused and held in shameful captivity.

We came down to your place in 1995. We had a ton of talented players but, the program was in a downward spiral that came to a head in 1996 with some of the worst football I have ever seen. The 1994 game featured Curtis Martin’s 251 yards rushing. He was a beast but, you guys came out on top. The next year at your place it was also a good game but, you guys won. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-09-04-sp-34610-story.html Edited November 8Nov 8 by PittsburghTiger

November 8Nov 8 Boston College for sure. Give me more to the north and the east. Pitt for sure. I wouldn’t mind Rutgers, although others bitch about that past trip. Syracuse? Of course, UW. No thanks regarding Autzen. Those tickets would be complete ridiculous. Stanford sure, Cal no. Wisconsin would be awesome. I actually think many of the Big 10 midwest options would get me interested outside of Michigan State. Tulane, Colorado schools, Utah, sure. Miami would be kind of wild, I think. I would love for Texas to pick up a Dublin game against anyone but Notre Dame. Dublin is one of the best cities I’ve visited over the years and everyone would love it. Playing ND there? It’s a fucking home game for Notre Dame. It would be population of Ireland against the state of Texas to those drunk lunatics.
November 8Nov 8 Of places I've been that I'd enjoy returning to watch Texas play: Wisconsin Washington USC Arizona State CU Indiana BYU Michigan State Places I'd like to go: Oregon Miami Goopher (sept schedule no Nov game) Duke or North Carolina (I'm good with both) Northwestern Clemson Louisville (Note these don't include any SEC teams) If we're talking smaller schools UT Chattanooga (vasty underrated city) Montana State UAB San Diego State U Maybe schedule a scrimmage at Pepperdine? I'd personally rank my SEC cities: Austin (because I have to of course) Nashville Knoxville Lexington Baton Rouge (only cause its close to NO) Athens Tuscaloosa Columbia (Haven't been to Gainesville) Yes I left some cities off. We know whay they are and I'm not a fan. Edited November 8Nov 8 by BurntEyes
November 8Nov 8 Texas should play in Australia every 4-5 years so that they could build the Texas brand really strong there, ala Dodgers in Japan and Spurs in France, so that every punter and placekicker out of Australia wants to come to Texas. And the cultural alignment between Australians and Texans is decent. Plus Sydney, Melbourne would be a great vacation trip.

They are friendly, kind, generous and helpful. Dublin is one of the greatest cities on earth.

That must have been quite the task to find an organization so vast that it literally spoke to everyone on Planet Earth to ascertain their opinion on the merits of Las Vegas. The diversity of restaurants (non-touristy) is very impressive. As are the shows. If you have not been inside the Sphere, it is definitely worth the experience.

Restaurants (and not just on strip) Spas, shows, helicopter tours of the Strip, Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, badass airforce jets flying overhead, a lot of cool lesser known sites like Meowolf, Pinball Hall of Fame and Neon Museum. Shooting guns you can't anywhere else, off roading in 4 wheelers, shopping (window or for real). Last but certainly not least people watching. I "retired" from playing poker, don't otherwise gamble aside from throwing $100-200 occasionally at Paigow, don't drink at all and don't sleep with sex workers. However, I still have an amazing time in Las Vegas. Edited November 8Nov 8 by BurntEyes
