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.

    Get in early for Cal or USC if weather is a priority

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

    I did Colorado in 1990 when they were a tuff Big 8 team. Great trip

    The last two years I’ve chosen the homecoming games. UCLA and Colorado. Not the best opponents, but the games were midday and the weather was beautiful. Perfect for traveling in and not getting home at 3am.

    I'll most likely be there with BuffBuffPass. Definitely attending the annual bay area loss and working on USC. Will be at the Oregon game too.

    I'd like to thank the posters for all their support but I have decided to take my talents to Eastern Washington.

    I think Utah is interesting but maybe a bit late in the season and ive seen the dawgs lose to Oregon a few years back already. I wonder what the Cal game will be like

    I only get one gayme also. For me, its a strong lean to Oregon, considering its become a good rival game. Some have them predicted to win the conference. Anytime Tinfoil and Lime come to town with everything to lose, its a must do for this Doog. SC is a dumpster fire now, and you will have to endure the same shitty fight song over and over and over again......

    It looks like Seattle is playing at Phoenix that weekend. Solid reasoning though. If I am picking one game it would normally be Oregon but this year it would probably be USC except if you want to double up with your 12 buddies the Oregon game matches up with Baltimore playing the Hawks the next day.

    AS far as Seattle I'd do USC but I wont because we're going to lose

    Fire worthy offense imo

    I'm going to Cal which narrowly beat out the USC game only because USC is on September 28th and I'm taking a 2 week vacation starting on October 3rd so I don't want to fly out to Seattle back home and then to Hawaii all in the span about 4 days.

    No one cares about your travels bro. Might as well go the Eastern game.

    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...

    You sound poor
