I'll be there opening weekend. UCLA-A&M on sat and then notre dame-Texas on sunday! Have never been to either. Should be awesome!
Anybody here planning on tailgating somewhere they've never been this college football season?
Wow ..... that's going to be a great weekend in Texas !!!
Son enrolls @ Georgia Tech this fall so we'll be heading up to tailgate on Oct 1 vs The U.
I thought about going to Orlando w/ friends for the FSU v Ole Miss game but it's on a Monday so I'll most likely watch it at Pussers in PVB.
Yea I'm looking forward to it. Notre Dame's getting a lot of preseason hype. I'm sure Texas will be fired up. Should be good. And UCLA-A&M may end up being the better game.
Have you been to GaTech before? It's a surprisingly decent tailgate scene. Last time I went was a thursday night game against VaTech I believe. Were people tailgating all over campus. And the frats were pretty friendly. Vandy is playing there early this season so I'll be there for a game as well.
Are you from SF? I was just in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood a couple weekends ago. Was cool. There is tshirt shop that sells all sorts of vintage sports shirts. They had a Jacksonville Suns w/ the old logo. And even had the defunct Jacksonville Beach Sea Birds tshirt. Kinda cool.
Yes, a couple of years ago I went to the Clemson @ GaTech game. GaTech won after Watson went out with an injury and the backup QB threw 2 pick 6's. Tailgate scene was surprisingly decent; very clean, active, and everyone getting a good buzz in a very domestic manner. The band march to the stadium was also pretty cool.
Regarding Haight-Ashbury, we went out to SF last summer and visited the district. SF was extremely fascinating and we did out to visit the Haight-Ashbury district. I've been to 29 Grateful Dead shows during the Jerry era so it was definitely a pilgrimage for me. I don't recall coming across the t-shirt shop that carried Jax gear but that is pretty cool. Those hills in SF are sooo steep --- I thought the car I was driving up hill was going to flip over backwards. I can't wait to get back out there but I gotta admit, I don't miss the $7 beers.
