Vanderbilt Press Release
Date: July 24, 2012 | This year’s first trip was easy; Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt was an SEC school high on the list of places to visit. Vanderbilt was attractive due to it being an up and coming program, the excitement surrounding Head Coach James Franklin, its unique pregame experience, and its location, Nashville, which is fairly close in travel time to New York City.

Game 15: Louisiana-Lafayette Rajin’ Cajuns @ Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
It was a tremendous performance by WKU, and thus, the 18 game home losing streak was over. The crowd stormed the field.
Game 14: Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ Louisville Cardinals
The stadium was a great atmosphere to see a game. It is a very nice stadium that can get absurdly loud. Louisville earns the 16-14 victory, as Al misses a chance to gain ground in our game picking contest.

Game 13: Alabama Crimson Tide @ Penn State Nittany Lions
The RV idea that was first hatched in Lubbock, Texas in November 2009 and further solidified in Iowa City last November has come to fruition (despite my belief that it would never happen).
Penn State Press Release
Date: August 18, 2011 | …and this year one of their stops will be Happy Valley, to watch the Nittany Lions take on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, September 10. This time, they’re bringing a Winnebago and, Botta says slyly, “that could change everything.”
