.. In other words, what is the greatest distance you have traveled to root on your football team? (Post a photo as proof) and tell a little bit about it.
mine: Blacksburg VA....... had always wanted to visit Lane Stadium . ECU donated $100,000 to the Hokies so they let us run out of the tunnels together while Enter Sandman played.

^^ hahha, yes, yes I am, but I look almost the same (+10 lbs )
holy shit we look shitfaced here after the game, especially me... do I even have eyes?
^ and yes it was, really fun. My favorite parts aside from the game include:
-driving 80 through texas, some snow started falling, kept driving, noticed some cars wrecked on the side of the road here and there... then found out we were in a blizzard.
-everyone in the car having to take a shit at the same time right when we got to new mexico, stopped at a rest stop with metal toilets (in blizzard), froze our asses off shitting, we took a pic of our savior
-almost running out of gas in texas because apparently they shut down their pumps at night (even those with credit card access)... finally found one in the middle of nowhere, we took a pic celebrating around the pump

My father and I went to Idaho (Boise State's famous blue field) to see Clemson play Louisiana Tech in Dantzler's last game. My mom ended up ruining the film so the pictures I don't have. But it was fun as hell to watch a game covered in snow. 10/10/2007 2:32:45 AM |

I drove up to Columbus to see the triple-OT game against OSU a few years back.
Pretty much so every bowl game in the 90s. Birmingham, all the ones in Florida.
I don't really feel like looking up which one is farthest away.] 10/10/2007 10:25:32 AM |

2000 Micron PC Bowl Road Trip, Miami FL.
P-Riv and K-Rob come back to beat Minnesota.
Unless you want to count when I flew back from Kansas to watch the College Gameday game where Devin Hester tore us up.

Drove to FSU game in 1997 from Raleigh and drove to Miami for bowl game (99?) against Minnesota. Both games were awesome. 97 was Torry's 5 TD game against the Noles and the bowl game was the huge comeback with K-Rob tearing it up. 10/10/2007 12:10:45 PM |
