When we were Dallas last summer, she asked how far away Chip and Jo’s place was. My reply of “too far” got me out of going. But yeah, she would probably be fine with a a visit there

When my wife decided to go on a sister's trip to Waco,TX for her 40th birthday, I was super confused. I wasn't very familiar with Chip and Joanna Gaines or their setup.

Come on, people. It is a 90-minute drive from Waco to Austin. Catch the game in Waco, but stay in Austin. Problem solved.

FIFY. The People's Republic of Austin is full of hairy legged women and liberal fruitcakes... You don't want to go there.

Just dawned on me that the 4 new schools, are some of the best destinations in the new B12.

1) Orlando
2) Houston
3) Ft. Worth (Dallas)
4) Provo (SLC)
5) Waco
6) Cincy
7) Morgantown
8-12) Ames, Manhattan, Lawerence, Lubbock, Stillwater

That's a pretty lame list of places to go; BYU should definitely want in on the conference, but Orlando as the #1 destination?

Lawrence is only 45 mins from KC. KC is interesting enough with good eats

Lol. I love that clip.

Underrated movie.

Not so fast. Pete Thammel agrees with UT:

The only downside of the B12 is their are not many exciting destinations for roadies. I might be down for Stillwater if someone could get me on Karsten Creek. I will absolutely go to Allen Fieldhouse at least one time, though not sure what else there is to do in Lawrence. Baylor? maybe worth another visit to Torchie's Tacos. Lubbock, Morgantown, Ames? Hard pass.

This is where I am as well. Independence has been awesome. I've been to so many awesome venues!

And this is what the missus has been wanting to see. I've traveled down to Fort Hood a lot, and one of these times I'll bring her along for this side-trip. My guess is too many Mormon Mommies are gonna want to visit here if we have away games to Baylor.

or the Dr Peper Museum

The missus will definitely want to go to the Dr Pepper museum!

And catch the River Walk! Amirite!

No thanks.

No! The sewer ... errr... river walk is in San Antonio.

Do we really have to explain why Mormons would think Orlando is a top destination?

I don't disagree with any of those statements. The P12 is both stronger at the top and a lot deeper in the middle

1) LA - SC& fUcla
2) Seattle
3) Phoenix
4) San Fran / Palo Alto
5) Denver
6) SLC
7) Eugene- get to visit HFN
8) Tuscon
9) Corvallis
10) Pullman. Unless you've been there, its hard to tell you how remote and out of the way it is.
