Are they all members of CFN at one point or another? That's the point of these.

We've seen more Texas than any other school.

Does it have to be Texas? Can it not be another team?

Does there even have to be a game in town? Like, November 16? It's Vandy... 

Hotels would be less expensive than if we went for Texas or Bama, etc.

picking a particular game is worth it IMO if it causes more attendance by our group.

if the Texas game would encourage Utee94, UTerin, Longhorn320, MikeDeTiger, Mr. Tulip, Burnt Eyes and others that would be a reason

same goes for any other game for any other group of fans 

I'm for picking the weekend that the largest number will attend

To be honest, it doesn't matter to me if there is a game or not. I don't think I'd go to the game. 

Ideally it'll be easier for me if it's a weekend that I don't have the kids tho... Which is Oct 26 and Nov 9. If I have to swap weekends it's harder and there's always the (unlikely) chance that my ex will have a conflict. Which just happens to also both be weekends with Vandy home games.

I'd vote Nov 9th.  Oct 26 is high likelihood of conflicts for me I bet . 

Not that I'm an arbiter.

Date most likely doesn't matter for me, at least as things stand now.  If I'm feeling physically capable of doing it, I'll do my best to make it whatever date y'all come up with.

Definitely don't choose a Texas game on my account.  Folks should decide on the weekend that works best for their own schedules.

At this point in my life, the free time I have for travel, is generally committed to family trips that include the kids.  With a 16 and 14 year old, I know my days of family trips are becoming limited, so I squeeze in as much as I can get.  So even if y'all pick the Texas weekend, my odds of attendance are low.

But one day soon I'll be as free as a Rolling Stone.

we've had a couple suggestions for early November and Nov 9th in particular

Nov 9th the Cocks will be in town - I think it's a plus to have a gameday feel with fans

the 9th works well for Husker fans - bye week - don't even need to fight for a TV at the bar

We don't need to put ink on the calendar right away, but it might help some folks plan ahead

Man, y'all like to put these things on LSU/Bama day.  I think Badger just likes to watch me boil, like crawfish.  That, or he's in a hurry to catch another Bama Banshee.  You know she's still there, somewhere.

candidly,  watching high level college games with no rooting interest in a locale that is in the SEC sounds like a helluva lot of fun to me.

Just because I'm an agitator, I'd like to point out that I don't see what it matters which teams are playing locally since most of you say you aren't going to the game anyway.  Whether it's Texas or some other team shouldn't matter if everybody is sitting in a bar watching whatever games they want anyway.  I reckon the date should be considered strictly on whatever date everybody can make it, not based on Vandy's actual schedule.  Hell, Vandy could be playing away and it'd amount to the same thing.
