From 93 to 2003 every home game and went to Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss and little rock. Since two games a year. Looks like one game this yearand a bowl. Two kids and a stay home mom slowed me down. Starting next year and until my son graduates I plan on going to one SEC away game each year and hopefully my son will be able to say he watched a game at every SEC stadium.

..."memorable", perhaps, but not favorite.

First game: @South Carolina, 2000 - the infamous backup-QB-throws-the-fade game. Thank you, Kendall Roberson.
Best road trip regardless of game outcome: Oregon
Most pissed off I've been after a 500-mile trip: Kentucky 2005 (Croom forgot Norwood was on the team for half the game). Honorable mention: Kentucky 2003 (Led 17-0 early, lost 42-17).
Best pre-game meal: Satchel's Pizza, Gainesville. Honorable mention: Charlie Brown's, Lexington.
Best post-game meal: Bob Baumhauer's, Tuscaloosa, 2006. Honorable mention: The Waffle House in Lexington where it was me, megadawgmaniac, the waitress, and the cook. That's all. Four people in the building.
Best near-death experience: When the suburban in front of us on I-40 east of Jackson, TN hydroplaned during a fierce thunderstorm and went spinning through the median and into the woods. Driver was fine. Rear axle of Suburban was not.
Most expensive extracurricular activity: Hitting a deer 30 miles from being home after 2009 Kentucky trip, $500.
Second most expensive extracurricular activity: 92 in a 70, Madison County, Florida, ten days ago, $276.
Number of trips to LSU: 6
Number of times I've had piss thrown on me, or whatever other horror stories you typically hear about LSU: 0
Number of times Todd4State has worn a non-MSU t-shirt to an MSU road game: At least 2.
W-L record during 124-game streak: You really don't want to know, but the percentage has improved nearly 3 points this year alone.

i graduated in 07 but got a job in starkville. i dont think i could have been any luckier. but, i make it to most home games unless i have to miss for a wedding or something like i had to for the uab game last weekend. i also make one or two away games a year depending on where they are. last year i went to auburn. this year i'll be going to the alabama game.

And as far LSU- I can say this from having a horrible experience there- the way you do it is by far the safest and best way for a road fan to go there.

If you don't mind- I think my favorite road game might have been to MTSU last year when we were all mad about having to stay at a hotel and having to pay for it, and then we got it for free because it had a mouse in there. What was funny was Megadawgmaniac and me starting to try to kill it, and you immediately got on the phone to get a free room. That game was kind of fun- I remember how dirty that stadium was and I remember their fans and ours making fun of each other. It was also cold- I think it snowed a little bit- like a flurry.

I also remember that guy at Neyland that tripped behind me and dumped a Coke down my back during 40 degree weather or whatever it was. That felt great!

Alabama- THAT'S INTENTIONAL GROUNDING! Us- Uhhh....no it's not.

Auburn was fun- I remember that ghetto town (Uniontown?) I told everyone in the car- if you need to go to the bathroom, well, I'm not stopping here.


Florida was fun too- I remember stopping in Deliverance to get some gas in the panhandle. I almost said something about getting gas before we left, but I didn't want to be a backseat driver since I was a guest.
