Who would you like to see a home & home series with?


Feb 12, 2016, 12:13 PM

Looking at the future schedule, we've got the following teams lined up (excluding FCS and non Power-5 schools): Auburn (2016/2017), Texas A&M (2018/2019), and Notre Dame (2020, 2022, 2023).

Here's my list of who I'd like to get on the schedule:

GEORGIA
Really wish this would be an every year thing. There was a time when this was a bigger game than playing SCar. Hell, I'd be happy with an annual spring game scrimmage with them.

TENNESSEE
The regular season Orange Bowl. Have fond memories of the Peach Bowl in 2003 and blasting them out of Atlanta. Rabid fanbase, big stadium, and nice area to visit.

STANFORD
Dabo and David Shaw have a great relationship. Both programs have been extremely successful in recent years, both on the field and in the classroom. Very similar values. (Shaw visited Dabo last year:
http://www.tigernet.com/story/football/Stanfords-David-Shaw-visits-Clemson-details-similarities-programs-13642)

OKLAHOMA
I know, I know. We might just see them in a bowl again next year at this rate. For me personally though, my wife and her entire family are Sooner fans, so this would just add to our relationship. ;)

NEBRASKA
Beyond the 1981 connections, I've heard the fans in Lincoln are a class act and they are passionate about the program, despite a few down years.

I should add that since moving to Portland last year, I do have a bias and would love to see the Tigers play out west. Going to the Natty in Arizona last month was my one and only chance to see a game last year. =)

What are your votes for a home and home?

Florida


Feb 12, 2016, 12:15 PM

We recruit against each other, good fanbase, and excellent "scenery" at the Swamp.

UGAy would be a close 2nd.

I could skip all the others. Nebraska is a very odd choice, btw.

By all accounts of friends who have been to a game there


Feb 12, 2016, 12:19 PM

They said that it was one of their favorite football experiences, and many of them were well traveled throughout the South and other areas of the country. Next to Texas A&M fans, probably some of the most classy and welcoming fans in the country.

First team: Florida; second choice: Tennessee; third: W. Virginia. Clemson would also do well to play one or more AAC members like an SMU or UCF. Personally I would love playing Penn State or Maryland as well.

Go Tigers!

Feb 12, 2016, 12:21 PM

Stanford, Oklahoma, and Nebraska doesn't make as much sense as playing Georgia and Tennessee (and Florida which Ridgeland mentioned above). I don't think we care about getting a ton of exposure in Nebraska.

Here's my top five


Feb 12, 2016, 12:27 PM

In no particular order

Florida
I really want to go see a game in the swamp. And if the tigers can win said game, awesome.

Stanford.
Same reason. Dabo and shaw. Plus Stanford is a national power. Would be a good game.

TCU/Baylor
I'd be ok either way. I'm looking at TCU for grad school so I think that would be cool. Could switch that with Baylor and I would be fine.

Michigan
Big brand and history. Excited fans.

Oklahoma State
Really like Gundy and I pull for them in most of their games for whatever reason. Wouldn't mind seeing a game there.

Re: Who would you like to see a home & home series with?


Feb 12, 2016, 2:52 PM

UGA makes the most sense but I'd take Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio state, Texas and LSU. Anything more than that is either a stretch as far as travel or doesn't benefit us. A home and home with the likes of TCU or Baylor doesn't help much and would be more like a trap. The ones I mention offer at least an in road to fertile recruiting grounds against the lead recruiting dog or at least national attention and prestige.

Georgia
Michigan (because it's dipping deeper in the south, and we can be more competitive up north)
Texas (enormous pool of talent in that state)
Notre Dame (because they have the brand)
