Thank you CCS for saving me $6k per year

I live in Atlanta so every game is an away game.  I go to at least half the games every year.  This week it was $571 for the flight to Houston.  2 nights at the Westin for $400.  2 tickets for $120.  60 minutes of agony, priceless... 

3 possessions from inside the 7 yard line and we kick fieldgoal each time.  We have the worlds worst defense and yet we kick field goals.  I will NEVER go to another game with this coaching staff.  Sure, I'll still watch the games on tv and complain every week but I am done spending money.  

We have a talented team that is forced to suck because of our coaching staff.

My bad, I miss read your post. I thought you were saying you did not go. You go to EVERY away game? **** man! Ok, for you I fall on my sword and ask for forgiveness...but any chance you still go to Cincy or Temple?

that is the risk you take going to a road game. Though sometimes it is pretty awesome. Like Pitt in 2001 (a last minute trip thanks to some tailgate buddies who talked me into it, soured that Monday by 9/11). Even some losses were pretty good times-- like Oklahoma in 2002. Others not so much -- Arkansas in 2002. Or Louisville in 2004.

So many good ones. Even ones at small schools like WKU can be interesting with the right people. Anything SEC is interesting usually-- but a tough win to come by (USCe, Kentucky) or stuff in North Carolina (never had a bad road game in North Carolina but we never lost any of those games either - several at ECU, UNC, and NC State). Auburn in 2007 was a blast. The Sun Bowl was fun other than the game itself. Bowls are a real crapshoot. I don't bllame anyone avoiding a road game this season-- it has been rough to watch this team play even if you are just sitting on your arse on a comfy (not on fire WVU fans) couch.

I did the every game season once-- in 2003. It was exhausting to be honest- I found there is sometimes too much football.  All in all-- I think I went to about 31 USF away games-- which before I stopped was a pretty good amount of them. I just don't have it in me any more though.

Oklahoma in 02 was special. We were all so happy to be playing such an established program and having Lee Roy there was special. Forgot all about that day...thanks for the reminder. Conversely, Arkansas in that same year was one to forget. Man did we get rolled. But yeah it was a fun time.
