I went to Syracuse and Detroit for the Motor City Bowl in 2004.

Both were awful and hope to never return either city.

 

[NorwalkHusky]

Been to

Michigan 2010
SMU 2013 ( You want to see even less people going into the games and just tailgating, make this trip.)
Army Yankee Stadium 2014
And hopefully Tulane 2015

In fairness the SMU tailgate was fancy as duckk. We went with a friend of a friend who was a Law School Alumni and they know how to do it. And I met a lot of cool people there, very big football fans, but struggle with SMU fans the same way we do.

Bowl games Detroit, Charlotte, and Fiesta. Really wanted to go to Toronto but couldn't make it happen.

 

[Waquoit]

I think Vandy might have been my favorite tailgate. We got in with a good group there. Made the mistake of going to the Grand Ol Opry the night before, though. Just awful, I'd rather get stuck on Its A Small World.

 

[junglehusky]

BC once, Rutgers 3x (maybe 4).

 

[Brochacho]

Yankee Stadium and Memphis.

 

[cheech63]

Motor City Bowl, ( great first bowl win) Army,( beautiful scenery) Meineke Car Care Bowl,(awful game ) Notre Dame,( fantastic day), Michigan,( historic day but beaten down by a running quarterback ) and Maryland.( great win vs Edsall on a hot day. Notre Dame by far the best trip ever, and Wake Forest the most forgettable game I ever attended.

 

[huskypantz]

BC
MCB - Detroit
Army - WP
Rutgers
Cuse
GT
Meineke - Charlotte
Temple (hurricane game)
I-bowl - Toronto
USF
Army - NYC

Most memorable was USF, that was a blast. GT was probably the worst as they were operating at another level.

All Bowl Games

Yale , Rutgers, Cuse, Army, Temple, Louisville, Pitt, ND. Michigan.

Damn - forgot all about Georgia Tech until Huskypantz mentioned it. Remember walking to the Varsity and then through fraternity row to get to stadium. Good trip - bad results.

 

[J187Money]

Regular season: Temple, Rutgers, USF (BCS! BCS!), ND, Vandy, Maryland. All bowl games.

Forgot Michigan and Army at Yankee Stadium.

Is she balking at you going or balking at her going?

Because anyone who can fly to both BYU and Missouri in the same season is a road warrior.

Kind of both. I'm going to Missouri with friends/UConn grads (some, ironically live in Kansas City)...and that turned into a guy's weekend with a Thursday night KC/Denver game at Arrowhead. I was selling an extended weekend trip to Utah to the wife but now she's balking. I'm still trying though. Maybe I can sell it as a solo trip.

I've been to two games at SMU (1989, 2013) and one game at Baylor (2009).

@Dooley

I've had the privilege of going to many of our away games. I say privilege because there's something very special about that us-against-the-world feeling on a road trip. My wife and I always try to take some of our grand kids along. We meet up with friends and fellow Husky fans for some great pre-game camaraderie. Great memories with awesome people.

Bowl Games are special. Enjoyed every one.
Motor City Bowl
International Bowl
Meineke Bowl
Papa John's Bowl
Fiesta Bowl

Syracuse (2)
Army (NYC)
Temple (2)
Duke
UNC
BC
Pittsburgh (2)
Louisville (2)
Michigan
Notre Dame
Rutgers (2)
Maryland
West Virginia (2)
Vanderbilt
UCF
USF (2)

Best was Notre Dame. The atmosphere, tradition and frankly, the most welcoming fans--coupled with the sheer drama of the game made it special. I had to pinch myself at kickoff as I thought back to my student days and the sheer improbability that we would ever be playing in South Bend. Goose bump time.
Best of the rest: Maryland, Vanderbilt, Michigan
Coldest: Temple (down 21-0 at the half and freezing, I convinced my wife and two grandsons to stay and "never give up on the Huskies". Thankfully, the team bailed me out with a great comeback win. Hate to think what I'd be facing had we lost--lol.)

This year heading to Missouri and UCF.

Let the games begin.

Sounds good. One of my buddy's wife is pregnant so we'll have a DD!

 

[junglehusky]

There must be a Redding, Texas, eh?

That's just great thinking on your friend's part. Getting the wife pregnant before the trip so she has to DD and he doesn't look like the bad guy. Great move.

He's a smart guy...he's a UConn grad.
