Get to see 1-2 games every year because I live in Tennessee. I've had the chance to go to some storied venues. Seen games against big-time programs. Despite losing, last year's bowl game was a great back-and-forth game. It was fun to be there and to enjoy the Miami weather. Combined the Virginia game with trip to DC a few years ago. Got to see a fireside, then sleep in my own bed, then go see MTSU the next day. The game against Oklahoma in Jerry's house was a lifetime highlight.

I do miss conference races and feel bad that standout players can't win all-conference awards. One difference between me and a lot of fans is that I couldn't give two hoots about the Utes. The only reason I ever pay any attention to them is concern about competing for recruits.
