2023 marks a major year for college football. Conference realignment in college football begins its first phase this season when BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF join the Big 12 conference. in 2024, Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC – executing on the bombshell news that kicked off the biggest shakeup to the sport since […]
College football features some of the largest stadiums in the world. However, only eight lay claim to being able to seat over 100,000 people: Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Tennessee, LSU, Texas, and Alabama. Having seen games at all but one (which I’ll lend an assist!), I decided to rank all 100K seat college […]
Not all College Football bowl stadiums are created equal. The majority are held in NFL stadiums, in the south, and in stadiums not primarily built to house college football. In fact, just 12 bowl games are played in stadiums that primarily are home to FBS programs. Which bowl game venues are the best? The worst? […]
The 2022 Road to CFB campaign is in the rearview mirror. Every game day was new and incredible, helped along by some amazing people. As I do every year in the wake of my college football road trip, I like to lay out by “Best Of” list. Who had the best tailgating? The loudest stadium? […]

Almost no one in the country does a college football game day quite like the Penn State Nittany Lions. The added dynamic of this being Penn State’s annual Whiteout, aka “The Greatest Show In Sports,” pushed this into Tier 1A in my travels. Greatest Show In Sports! The Big Ten’s SEC Team Every conference has […]
You don’t just happen across Morgantown, West Virginia. Situated 75 miles south of Pittsburgh, 200 miles east of Washington DC, and 200 miles west of Columbus, you have to be intentional to find it. For most, there’s one reason you find Morgantown, and that’s to cheer on the Mountaineers. Take Me Home, A Local Experience […]
It’s hard to get fans out to a Wednesday night football game. It’s even harder when the forecast calls for strong storms all game long. That was the case for my latest Road to CFB trek to Huntington, West Virginia, to catch a Marshall home football game day at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The Thundering […]
