Hit the Road Jack

Week one of college football started off with a bang.  From two consecutive blocked kicks to last minute interceptions there was no shortage of heart-pounding college football action to watch this Labor Day weekend.  While watching key plays and and slow-mo highlights up close from the comfort of the couch is a miraculous thing (I did an inappropriate amount of this during the past weekend), there is nothing like seeing a college football game in person.

Dan Ackman of the Wall Street Journal, understanding the thrill of watching the game live and in the flesh, put together a list of super-charged college football weekend road trips.  Two games, one weekend, non-stop madness.  Of the five, my pick would be Oklahoma/Texas and Texas A&M/Texas Tech. match-ups.  Football in the land where football is damn near a religion, yes please.

But then again I don’t have a car, or vacation days leftover for that matter.  And really, did you look at the picture I posted above?  Could there possibly be anything better than that?  Ackman, I know we’re not ranked and still building the team under Rich Rod., but how could you leave Mich off the list?  Loved the suggestions, but if I go anywhere is season it’s back to A2 and the Big House for me.
