Sucks for me that you’re going to stop the tailgates but I totally understand. My fandom got a LOT more enjoyable about 10-12 years ago when I stopped putting on a tailgate. Much more fun to roll up 2-3 hours ahead of the game instead of 12.
@thunderlounge, you suck at logic and analogies.
Mateer will play again this month (even if he doesn't play against Texas), and will be available for the playoffs if OU makes them. OU losing a game to a top 25 team in a neutral site without their starting QB would be hand waived away if needed.
Jordan Travis literally never played football again after his injury. He was drafted, but never played a down in the NFL and medically retired in April of this year. FSU without him was a different team (see the ACC champ game), and wouldn't have been competitive in the playoffs.
Came here to make this point. I was in Tennessee and saw the Longhorns play last year. it was Nashville, not Knoxville, but a great road trip. Looking forward to going back. May go for baseball (but the whistler makes me not want to go).
Right? Why are people bitching about hosting Ohio State, Florida, Arkansas and Ole Miss next year? That is a great set of home games.
Newsflash - you don't actually want to play only the top half of the league every single season. Attrition is real. It's ok to get some of the lower tier programs to pad your win total.
