Champaign could possibly be the toughest place to get to. Fly into Chicago and drive four hours.

Huh? I flew in to midway and was on campus in just about two hours. You could get there in 4 hours on a Segway.
 
My sister-in-law is a graduate from there. I will get there for a tailgate and will drag them from Chicago with me!

This is great, as it will get our names in the news there a few times.

What are the odds that Diaco is coaching us for this game?

Don't care about 6 years from now. His K is for 5 years. Care about everyday - NOW, one day at a time, to get thru the putrid teardown mess of the
last 3 years (defined as from FHCRE leaving to when Foley took back the O-line and Casey went under center).

If he's successful in rebuilding-we enjoy the ride for 3 to 5 years.
 
Would love to get a game against Wisconsin. Madison is an awesome city. I know it's a little wishful thinking because Wisconsin is a more upper echelon team but it'd be an awesome road trip. Add Univ of Colorado to that list as well. Boulder and Madison are very similar in regards to being awesome college towns and pretty amazing stadiums.

As for the Illinois game, it's a good get but we still have holes as soon as 2015 that need this level of a game.

That being said, love the BIG scheduling

It's the Midwest, a four hour drive for them is nothing. It's like someone from the Northeast driving from Hartford to Waterbury, which also may take 4 hours on certain days.

I have tried to go to at least one major college game a year the pas several years, and I enjoyed the game at Wisconsin the best. Awesome atmosphere, and I was really impressed with the campus. Only issue I had was that the seats were crammed together more than any stadium I have been too. The person behind me had his knee in my back the whole game.

Your prize was just about to be shipped until you admitted to keeping track of your likes. Sorry, now you get nothing.

Aw, darnit. It was probably just gonna be a roll of GDL's wallpaper anyway.

Google says 2 hrs from Indi, 2.5 from Chicago, and 3 from St Louis. Still, no party.
 
Seems like an easy trip to me, flights can be found under $200 right now, (who knows in 6 years) and a 15 passenger van for $110 plus game ticket and hotel. No brainer here!

28 likes must be some kind of record. What do I win?

Last time I won a prize for likes I only had two! It was great though, I got an invite from General Motors to be a crash test dummy for an entire week!
They wanted to see if my "like" ego was a challenge for their air bags...

So I, of course, had to like your response. :)
 
Boise State, Virginia, Tennessee (still on), Illinois. That's a lot of orange.
 
Bolder is a great college town and upscale community. Great view from stadium to Flat Iron Mtn backdrop.

Haven't been to Madison but would take everyone's commentary as a plus.

I don't think at this time either team would come east as each has plenty of opportunity "in their own back yards" to get a decent OOC home and home with good traveling fan bases.

However, would not bypass a one and done at either location just because of who they aqre/represent.
