    Holding a watch party. Wife made me promise to keep the swearing to a reasonable amount and to wait until the end of the first quarter of the Rose Bowl before I start drinking.

    In return I might get lucky in the new year. (Hubba hubba.)

    Flying SEA to ATL and then Sherman march through the south (though I’m related to Grant) through Tuscy, Starkville, and Oxford on to Memphis BBQ for night one. Day two is Mississippi Delta eating tamales, visiting the crossroads, Vicksburg (cousin Grant’s handiwork, not WTS), and Natchez. Then a few days in NOLA for game and good food, then back to ATL for flight back to SEA.

    damn that is a packed holiday schedule haha

    I’m holding out for Houston. Booking my flight today most likely once my buddy figures out when he wants to fly in and out.

    Couldn't get it dialed in at much less than $8k for the beard and I to not have to fly red eye and stay at a shithole motel for 4 nights, once all costs were added in. Looking at Houston as an alternative. 50/50. I will forever be bitter that we aren't playing in the Rose Bowl. Fuck Georgia forever.

    Seriously. They fucked me so hard. I could have booked a flight before the matchups were even announced, I could have stayed with my wife’s aunt and uncle in Rancho Cucamonga who have a sweet house with a pool. It would have been cheap enough to make going to both playoff games completely doable. Georgia is fucking dead to me.
    Pics of your wife’s aunt?
    Her uncle is a 6’7” former army ranger. Except without the army ranger part.

    My first game was a 7-7 tie against California in a shitty season


    Deprived youth

    Mine was a rainy season opener in 1990 where #20 WASHINGTON escaped San Jose State though new QB Mark Brunell couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

    No hint of the juggernaut they were to become in that one.
    I was there. A bunch of us walked away disappointed, because we had high expectations for the Dwags that year.
    The Freedom Bowel definitely presaged good things to come.

    I was at the San Jose State game as well as a sixth grader whose nerdy friend had a UW prof dad who had extra tickets all season, except Kal. It definitely seemed like a continuation of the late 80s doldrums.

    Mine was the 2001 Apple Cup. Pretty epic game to fuck up the Cuog’s chances at a major bowel, but it’s no playoff semifinal

    Have everything booked but the game tickets, been really tough to gauge the secondary market
