Yep. I was all in on going to the Natty last year while skipping the Cotton Bowl. And then... sadness.

But also glad you didn't spend all that dough to see us get our ass kicked and then our ass kicked again

And two of them aren't with one of them being in Indiana. Not exactly a quick trip from Hicksville, Carolina.

Half of our tailgate crew went to the Rose Bowl, including me. The other half went to the Cotton Bowl this past season. I'd say I feel sorry for them, but I don't. A couple of the same guys drove out to the Nebraska game last year too. DROVE. Evil or Very Mad

Why spend $ to see us in the semi when you can save for the natty? I mean if you want to spend that much on football games be my guest. But unless the semi is close to me - fuck that.

Commercial tickets anywhere are pretty outrageous around the holidays. Did anyone take that charter out to LA for the Rose Bowl. I tried to get on that, but I already bought a non-refundable ticket.

It's not really a tangent.

I could see (maybe) an Alabama fan taking your approach.

Seems a little short-sighted at this point to assume we'll be in that position with any sort of regularity.

You're the one that said it would be stupid to go to a semi with a natty on the horizon. Seems fair to ask you about that comment.

It's a message board, right?

if I recall correctly, I remember people last year considering hedging their bets and saving money for the trip to the national championship game.

if it were the kind of thing I was into.. and if I had the resources to attend only one game.. I'd probably go to the first CFP game. Of course, I can understand the "national championship or bust" approach, as well - as it would suck to fork over a bunch of money to go to the first game only to get drilled 36-0 or whatever.

You are correlating not going and saving for a potential natty with thinking we will be in the CFP regularly. Just not the case.

it is a message board.

I usually fly up for one or two games a year. The judge and I will be going to UM I believe. Depends on his schedule. We usually go to that game and sometimes another. Can't beat EL in October.

He's a Spartan otpt.

Last year I skipped a wedding to go to the Oregon game. But that was the best home game on the schedule. This is third best. It's harder to skip, but it also means that other than the goddamn furman game I won't be at a home game until October

Not only do we have some recent classics against Wisconsin, that is also the Hall of Fame game so there will be a nice Sadler tribute. Not sure I would call that the 3rd best game of the year

The semifinals are bowl games. We go to those every year now. I'm saving my money for the natty if we get in that position again.

Pretty stupid question to be honest.

Which question is stupid? In my opinion, a CFP "bowl" game isn't the same as a regular bowl game. That's stupid! You have lost your mind!

You're not helping me justify missing it otpt.

Though.... I don't think you can drop it below um or OSU. Those are both division games afterall

We should have a swill tailgate for the Michigan game and invite this lunatic to show up. When he does I'll pull out the bucket full of buttersocks abd we can all proceed to nail him like they do to the Marine who doesn't fall in line. It could be our own little full metal jacket.
