Gosh, I Wish I Was Going to Nashville

[KingWard]

Vandy is a great trip anyway. I can't get over the novelty of going over there to witness an actually meaningful game. It seems like a dream. I truly envy the people making the journey.

Went to one game there years ago. It was the dullest most lifeless stadium I've ever been in.

Won't be the case on Saturday.

All you have to do is get in the car and go.

We heading up Thursday. We are flying SW out of Charlotte. We decided while back to fly for the Nashville trip instead of driving as cheap as you can get direct SW flights.

This is a trip we always make. Have not missed a Vandy trip very long time. Honestly, I can't remember the last time we did not make this trip other than the COVID year they did not allow fans at the game.

This will be the first time we will have both out kids on the trip with us. This has always been an adults only trip and my son is 22 and able to bar hop with us. My daughter and her husband made the trip with us last time for their first one.

We used to go to the game but we stopped going into the game several trips back. We usually watch the game in the lobby of the Holiday Inn next to the stadium. They have a ton of TV's in there. We just camp out in there with our coolers to watch the game.

I like East Nashville and the West End and Carter Vintage and Gruhn's and Vince & The Timejumpers. The rolling hills and lush green grass are gorgeous.

Otherwise I think it's vastly overrated.

Nobody asked, but my "New SEC" city/town tiers:

Elite: Austin, Athens
Good, but underrated: Lexington, Columbia, Norman, Fayetteville, Auburn
Good but overrated: Nashville
Charming and weirdly fun: Oxford, Baton Rouge
Meh: Knoxville, Gainesville, Tuscaloosa
Trash: College Station, Starkville
WTF: CoMo

Leave for the game early Friday! Hopefully a good outcome.
