2024 CFB51 Board Meeting!

[FearlessF]

I'll let someone else answer since I've not a spouse

but, I've enjoyed the spouses that have attended

just be ready to party and talk football

[MarqHusker]

I brought my wife, and two friends also flew in the year in Nashville  that helped the spouse significantly.   Other time I was solo.

[Razorchique]

I’m bringing my husband and he’s never been. But fairly recently married. It’s fine to bring a spouse. There are no rules here. It’s about friends and good times and this game we all love. 

[GopherRock]

My wife and I were discussing a trip to Nashville sometime in the not-so-distant future. She got her masters degree from Vanderbilt, and loved being there. We went the first year of our relationship (December 2017) and had a great time. I will bring this up with her in the near future. 

Sam's Place is no longer there, but then again the city has changed so much in the last 20 years it's quite likely that not much of where we went last time is still there. 

As for dates, I would prefer a November date. Our Gopher football attendance schedule is extremely front loaded next year. We may be going to games the first 7 weeks. 5 home games, a roadie at Michigan which is 15 minutes from my in laws, and what may be the only time the Gophers play in Rose Bowl Stadium in the next decade.

Even though it has been 14 years since we heard from that banshee in the bar, my ears have not yet fully recovered from the damage. A few years ago at one of the Iowa games, a woman a short distance behind our seats was screeching like that banshee. She had to be an Iowa fan. 

[Cincydawg]

Having never been to one of these things, what's the general protocol? I.e. do spouses come? And if they do, do they have anything to do, or do they just sit and grouse about us all?

The whole thing is about as organized as we are here.  Folks try and communicate where they are headed and when, and at times 2-3 groups may drift in different directions.

[FearlessF]

November would work for me

golf courses in Iowa are closed - could play golf in Nashville

the only November game in Lincoln I'm interested in would be the Badgers on 11/23

[MikeDeTiger]

If SunDevilFroggy really isn't around anymore, I may or may not have stories from the last Nashville trip that we agreed never to talk about with others.  

I'm not the same as I was back then and I have significant difficulty getting around and doing normal things, but if the trip winds up being when Texas plays there, I might try to bite the bullet and take Mrs. DeTiger....er....Mrs. DeLonghorn to the game and meet up with everyone again.  We'll see. 

As for spouses, I know at least Mrs. 847 came to a couple, and she was a blast. 

I still talk to Erin, SDF, and Buckeyecraaazy, they might want to know about this as well, so I'll pass it along to them.  Also LilDawg, who predates my time here but I wound up meeting her anyway.  Erin and her husband like to travel and go to sports events, they may be all about it.  

[Honestbuckeye]

Depending on the weekend you pick- I think it would be a blast.  I have been spitballing with you folks since somewhere around 2006, give or take, and have never met in person.  

I would def bring my girl.  She is into CFB.   “ thastsa a bullshit call! These refs wouldn’t know holding from a fricken square dance!”

[847badgerfan]

Mrs. 847 never missed one.

My wallet took a hit in Nashville when she and Buckeye Crazy decided to go shopping for a little while...

[betarhoalphadelta]

There's a good chance we'll be in. Prefer the early Nov timeframe as we're looking at doing an Ireland trip in Sep/Oct...

[MarqHusker]

Easy drive for me.  Nov is swell.

[ELA]

Due to kids and COVID shutdowns, a game at Vandy was my most recently attended football game for over 3 years

They've converted it into a construction site since you've been there. 

[FearlessF]

only a 12hr drive for me
I could cut it to 8 hours if I work it into a work trip to SE Iowa
