I think son 1 and I are going to the turkey day eagles at cowboys 11/26. We’re driving from LA and on the way back to downtown DE these games interest me
11/27 Texas at Texas a&m
11/27 Miss State at Ole Miss (is ole miss the famous tailgating?)
11/27 Nebraska at Iowa
of these 3 which would have the most fun game day?
And of course Saturday State at MD

I’ll be impressed if you can make it driving from any of those games to the PSU kickoff the next day. The Texass matchup is usually at night as well. Gun to my head I pick Texass vs aTm. Egg Bowl is a noon start. You have a better chance driving from Mississippi than Texass making it to College Park in time for PSU kickoff.

My order would be the same order you listed. Texas vs A&M more likely to have playoff implications for both teams (it did last year).
The Grove at Ole Miss could be fun but. Not really my vibe, so I put it second.
Iowa - meh.

If you get to College Park, meet us at Looney’s
for some drinks! Perhaps LionJim and his bride will join us too?

Just an FYI about tailgating @ The Grove (on Ole Miss campus), it is incredibly crowded with very little space in between all the set ups, many of which are very large. Be glad you're not going in early September, with high heat/humidity, the atmosphere was stifling and I found it unenjoyable. It should be much better in November. One other tip, you have to get there early when they allow access to claim a spot if you plan on tailgating at The Grove. The stadium at Ole Miss isn't large but the crowd enjoy their GameDay. Lots of frat/sorority students all dressed up - common at all SEC venues. Personally, I'd opt for a game at Texas A&M, huge stadium, great atmosphere, raucous fans, Corp of Cadets march in and the Aggie Marching Band. College Station, TX is certainly not a garden spot. I've been to both locations. Oxford, MS (Ole Miss) is a much nicer college town.

Feel like the only answer here is The Egg Bowl. Football probably better at UT/ATM, but the 'scene' around Ole Miss on game day, and especially this game, will be worth whatever the on field product is. Game at Iowa? Pass - they're a terrible fan base and that game stands to be about as boring as those states are. UT/ATM but only if you sit on the ATM side and heckle these clowns:



I'd probably do Ole Miss noting they likely have the worst bro fans of the bunch.

LOL, thats a lot of wide open boring space, so might as well do something. I detest West Texas and East NM, before Tucumcari is just as bad.
If you have the time the Sandia Peak tram in Albuquerque is excellent. Try to get there and do it at sunset. 👍

Son1s first thought when I laid out the roadtrip was ALBUQUERQUE haha. I bet he knows what you’re saying:)
we’ll be on steelies with all weather 3 peak tires but I told him I want to stay south. We will go thru Nashville and tail of the dragon. I’m guessing he’ll put a bike on the roof, I’m gonna need some books
whats funny is we did this trip the opposite direction when he graduated in the same car, that a 2015 FWD wagen (which he wrecked lol)
he replaced it with this 19 4motion
