Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Best game to attend this year?

So because of the travel and our monopoly money up here I can only do 1 game a year max. Last year we went to Stanford and had a blast in the rain but might want to give the wife a chance at some nicer weather this year.

What weekend would you blow your money on? Leaning hard to USC being in late sept and being the adidas launch party at the moment but I'm curious what other opinions are out there...

    I'm thinking Utah this year since Stanford is the Bay Area game and its earlier. I can't really get away until November

    I’ve been struggling with the same conundrum.

    Apple cup beating of Leach is always enjoyable.

    Oregon at home always feels like something you shouldn’t miss.

    Utah is always a tough grind it out game.

    But USC has always been the conference bully, and after 2016 I’d like to think it’ll be a great revenge game.

    Can't vouch for the weather, but the @ Colorado game is a dark horse best trip of the season.

    Boulder is an awesome college town and Denver is 45 minutes away for big city vibes. Decent chance the nuggets will be playing so you can double up sporting events (broncos are out of town)

    Plus win probability is very high, which usually makes the trip complete.

    For a game in Seattle it's hands down against USC. For all the obvious competitive reasons, Adidas launch, and big recruiting weekend it should be as good as it gets in Husky Stadium all year.

    Also the Seahawks play the Saints the following day so it's perfect for maximizing your experience if you're into that sorta thing.

    Boulder is for sure going to be my road trip this season
