Who would you like to see a home and home with?

Name a program we haven't had a home and home with in the last 20 years and don't have one currently scheduled with that you'd like to see down the road. Do you love the city the school is located? Their program? Have a favorite brewery in the area?

Lol. Despite the rave reviews of Ole Miss and The Grove, I'm hesitant as a visible POC to make the trip to go tailgate and see "the Rebels". But absolutely would've loved to go see Michigan play Washington in Seattle! Hopefully we can keep the Texas home-and-home on our schedule because I'd love to go see a game there.

South Florida just I can go back to St Petersburg for a weekend; I always enjoy visiting there.  Best breweries in my humble opinion are Pinellas Ale Works and Cycle.  Had a somewhat bizarre experience at Cycle the first time I went but the beers are great.

UGA but mainly so I'll have an excuse to visit Athens again. After living here for the last 16.5 years, I'm leaving next week and am getting wistful. But in all honesty, the football culture down here is one to be experienced. Being around so many other people who were passionate about college football actually elevated my own love of the game, even if we rooted for different teams.

I went to the 2019 Sugar Bowl (UGA lost to Texas) as a casual observer. Is it just a Georgia thing for 55 year old dads with goatees to wear authentic stitched on jerseys of current 20 year old players? I saw dozens of Blankenship, Swift, Fromm, and Nauta jerseys throughout the Superdome and bourbon street that night.

I had booked Seattle, but wouldn’t go back there, since law enforcement lost control of the city. My vote would be Tennessee or West Virginia. Easy road trips to nice areas and competitive teams.

LSU - I've always wanted to see a game in Death Valley. Its on my college football bucket list.

Texas A&M - I don't have any particular affinity for A&M football, but like LSU, I just want to experience a game in Kyle Stadium. It has to be intense and just different in quite a few ways, with all the different cheers and whatnot. 

USC - There are several Rose Bowls worth of revenge that Michigan has to try and exact revenge for. 

Georgia - just to watch my wife (huge UGa fan) and I get at each other's throats for three hours. 

Georgia Tech - I don't care about Ga Tech, but this is the one game I could drive to and be at the stadium in 30 minutes.

The second best team in the ACC.  Nice easy "quality" win.

 

Actually agree with others.  At Washington.  Would have loved to go to that game.  Be interesting to see if we make it up.

Eastern Michigan. Really get the rich recruiting base of Washtenaw County jazzed for the contest.  Also, the team won't be too jet lagged from the trip.  How many times have we travelled out West only to put up a stinker of a game and then had to deal with travel back, time change, etc.?

Gonna be unpopular here, but I'd say Navy.  Would love to go see the game in Annapolis.

I'd also see UVA.  Again, not a big time team but Charlottesville is a cool place to visit.

I'd also like to see a game more than once every other year.

Selfishly, Kansas State. Prob wouldn't be a 1-1 deal but whatever. Manhattan is an awesome college town. I remember when USC came to Manhattan in 2002 and got beat. It was an awesome game and every USC person I met said how much they enjoyed Manhattan and the atmosphere. 

My second choice would be Nebraska since they only play them every 15 years even though they are in conference and within driving distance from KC.

UCLA and make them a new rival. Perfect place for the kids to go play, trip to the rosebowl, recruiting etc.

 

Also when you play a team back to back at your home stadium is that series called a Home and Away series?

I want to go anywhere outside my home.  It would be great if it was warm there. It’s be even better if Michigan was playing.  It’s be heavenly if we won.
