I'm just curious what college football games everyone plans to attend this season, across all levels of college football. I'll start things off (all times Eastern):

DEFINITE/VERY LIKELY GAMES
09/17 (Sat): Temple at Penn State, 12:00 PM
09/24 (Sat): Princeton at Lehigh, 12:30 PM
09/24 (Sat): Villanova at Lafayette, 6:00 PM
10/08 (Sat): Toledo at Eastern Michigan, 3:00 PM (this game is tied to a Detroit trip to see the 10/9 Eagles/Lions NFL game)
10/15 (Sat): Lehigh at Georgetown, 2:00 PM (could be dropped depending on Orioles or Nationals MLB playoff game schedule)
10/29 (Sat): Cincinnati at Temple, time TBA
10/29 (Sat): Brown at Penn, 1:00 PM (only if doesn't conflict with Cincinnati/Temple game)
12/10 (Sat): Navy vs Army (Baltimore), 3:00 PM

ADDITIONAL GAMES - OPTION #1 (if I visit my brother at Mississippi State at Thanksgiving)
11/12 (Sat): Muhlenberg at Moravian, 12:00 PM (not big on watching D3 games, but this is a rivalry game where I grew up)
11/26 (Sat): Mississippi State at Mississippi, time TBA OR Auburn at Alabama, time TBA

ADDITIONAL GAMES - OPTION #2 (if I don't visit my brother at Thankgiving and visit the rest of the family instead)
11/11 (Fri): Harvard at Penn, 8:00 PM (not likely; would not go if I attend 10/29 Brown/Penn game)
11/12 (Sat): James Madison at Villanova, 1:00 PM (not likely)
11/26 (Sat): East Carolina at Temple, time TBA (not likely; would also be superseded by a playoff game at Lehigh or Lafayette if one of them occurs)

There's also a slim chance I may attend the 9/3 Howard/Maryland game.

Besides the games listed above, I may try to attend a Division I-AA/FCS or Division II playoff game in or near the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area on 11/26 (if I go with option #2 above) and/or near the DC area on 12/3 if the games involve Lehigh, Lafayette, Villanova, Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, and/or IUP.

Finally, I plan to attend a handful of NFL (Philadelphia Eagles) games this season, definitely at least 5 games and possibly as many as 8 games.

All WIU home games:
9/10 vs Northern Arizona
10/8 vs Indiana State
10/22 vs NDSU
11/5 vs Illinois State
11/12 vs UNI

And two away games:

Can't really do long trips at this point in my life...wife and two young kids (both in school), but once the kids are old enough to take care of themselves for a couple of days at a time, I'd like to expand my range somewhat...maybe hit up some of the further away conference games...I'd love to get up and see a game at the Fargodome some day as well as SDSU's new stadium.

This is what I have lined up so far. It doesn't bother me to go to two games in a day. I might go up to D3 St. John's on Sat. Sept 3 if I have recovered from my trip to Minot. MSU stands for Minnesota State Mankato on this list.

Get in touch with Ursus and Alpha. They'll treat you right the whole time you're there.

HIGHLY SUGGEST the MO CLUB (Missoula Club) for a burger and beer.

Tough fall for me this year, having a 60th birthday in the house (9/11), a wedding (9/17), and a minor surgery (10/7) in addition to my swim meet work schedule.

9/24 - Princeton @ Lehigh AND Villanova @ Lafayette (Lehigh is a maybe)
10/1 - Cheyney @ East Stroudsburg (probably)
10/15 - Delaware @ William & Mary OR Kutztown @ East Stroudsburg

Anyone going to Bristol for UT-Va Tech? Been sold out forever, apparently, which i guess isn't surprising, but it seems like an absolute nightmare. I read somewhere that the grandstand seats in one end zone are a quarter mile from the other end zone.

For the first time ever, I am skipping Chattanooga games in favor of the orange team because I now have a kid there (so technically I am skipping them to go see her). So my schedule may have more orange than blue and gold depending on the UTC/Wofford weekend.

Set in stone
Tennessee vs App State
Chattanooga vs Presby
Tennessee vs Ohio
Chattanooga vs Samford
Chattanooga vs Mercer
Tennessee vs Alabama
Chattanooga vs VMI
Tennessee vs Tennessee Tech
Tennessee vs Missouri

TBD
Tennessee vs Kentucky or Chattanooga vs Wofford

I actually think UR's campus is pretty and say so every time. I feel dirty as hell saying it, but I still do. It's nicer than VCU's campus in terms of overall area. No hobos walking around.

Hammerhead
August 31st, 2016, 03:32 PM
NDSU @ Iowa
SDSU @ NDSU
Youngstown State @ NDSU

Maybe a home game for MSU-Moorhead (mrs. Hammerhead's alma mater) if they have a game that won't conflict with NDSU's games

Yeah, its objectively a great-looking campus. Maybe we need to add an access tunnel on campus that floods like every week. Make you guys feel more at home haha

And FWIW i like ya'll's campus too. The quad (or whatever it's called) is probably the coolest location I've seen for Gameday. Maybe tied with where they set up in Fargo.

Very far from set in stone:

Lehigh @ Penn 9/17
[Probably not, but shooting for anyway Penn @ Fordham 9/24]
SMU @ Temple 10/1 (or less likely Princeton @ Columbia?)
CCSU @ Penn 10/8
Columbia @ Penn 10/15
USF @ Temple 10/21
Brown @ Penn 10/29 (though possibly Cinci @ Temple if there is a time conflict and I can swap out)
JMU @ Villanova 11/12 (unless we're even worse than my low expectations)
Villanova @ Delaware 11/19

If I can't make the first Columbia game, I may shoot for Homecoming or the Empire State Bowl

For me right now Im locked in for Liberty's homecoming game against Monmouth. Depending on some things with my job I may be going to more than a few others as well. Im contemplating taking in an ODU game but that also will depend on my job situation...otherwise. I'll see about UVa-VT.

10/22 - TU vs. UNH
10/29 - TU @ Delaware
11/05 - TU vs. Elon
11/12 - TU vs. W&M
Hopefully I'll get to go to a TU playoff game as well.

As for teams that aren't my own, I'm likely going to at least one JMU home game since my girlfriend is an alumna.
