Swap OSU for UW if you don't like it.

I'll take the easy drives to Miami, Tallahassee and Atlanta for games.
Wow, I'm a Texan and I'm accustomed to extremely long drives to get... well... anywhere.  

But I don't think I'd ever call 672 miles an "easy drive." ;)

There are so many rumors on this topic each year, I just wait and see.  Remember that utterly ridiculous rumor last year about a slew of Pac 12 teams bolting?  

Never happened.  Ridiculous.

I'd do it over 2 days, for sure. Not bad. I get 7 weeks of PTO.

It is 662 miles from Atlanta to Miami, and 568 miles from Atlanta to Columbus, Ohio.

The new car is a lot easier on me for such distances at least.  My wife told me this morning she really likes it and is glad we traded, out of the blue.  This will be my first time driving it in the mountains, but I'm sure to take it pretty easy.

Oh wait, sorry.  It's only 564 miles for you to get to Atlanta.  A couple hours shorter, actually not terrible, but yeah dividing into 2 days is still a good idea.

I would prefer to have the Buckeyes and Irish in the same pod as Michigan for rivalry and historic purposes.  And a 100 year exemption from having to play Rutgers or Maryland.

We drove back from North Port to ATL in January, it wasn't bad.  We stayed in Gville on the way down.

If you say so.  I do a couple of trips like that per year, and any chance I get, I try to split anything over 500-600 miles into 2 days.

We used to be able to do 12 hour drive days. Not anymore. 5-6 hours is the sweet spot for us.

We drove straight out from Austin to Pensacola last summer, that's around 12 and change counting a lunch stop.

On the way home we split it and stopped for a few days in New Orleans.  Man that was fun, I love that city.
