New Mexico at least has neat looking rock formations and a mix of brown/yellow/red everywhere. I drove from CA to GA and back a couple of years ago and New Mexico was a fairly pleasant distraction after/before Arizona and Texas. That part of the 40 that goes through northern Texas through Amarillo is the loving wooooooooooooooooooooooorst.

Arkansas had the worst roads I've ever driven on while still on an interstate highway. And at highway speeds the bumps in the concrete cause a 15 passenger van to basically hit resonance. Ask me how I know

Tennessee is lovely to drive through, especially the east of the state along I-40 in the fall.

Tennessee sucks until you make it to Nashville or Memphis.

The joke is on everyone: every drive on an interstate sucks regardless of what state you're in. The baseline is "sucks."

I assume it's just about the same in Nebraska and Iowa. Once you get past the Mississippi north of the Ozarks it is basically just flat corn/wheat/soybean fields until you hit the Rockies.

It really is the interstate parts of a lot of these states that is the worst. Arkansas is beautiful but the eastern third and the area on 40 is not the nicest but the northern third of the state is beautiful and there are a lot of nice places otherwise. New Mexico - the eastern third is really the same as western Texas and the area around 40 is horrible but the rest of the state has some of the most beautiful landscape. Pretty much any place with water is nice. The real problem is the plains that include eastern Colorado/New Mexico across the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Most people go east/west and that is bad enough but never try going north/south you will not survive.

Kim Jong Il posted:People never shut up about this and meanwhile all of the NYC area cable companies folded in about two seconds. There are many reasons for this of course (BTN more established, rumors about bundling with the Yankees), but let's not forget that practically every single critic of adding Rutgers and Maryland extrapolated from the drawn out fights getting coverage in the Midwest and concluded that it would never happen here and adding the teams would be a financial boondoggle. These of course, are the exact same people still critical about the move to this day. The largest plurality of the NYC market, as tiny a sliver as it may be, is still more valuable than half of Nebraskans guaranteed to watch or whatever both in terms of population counts, higher household income, a younger fanbase, and better population trends. rutgers is super bad at sports

Vaguely related to driving chat, next week I'm moving the rest of my fiancée's stuff out from Southern California to Chicago. Any places really worth stopping along the way (for food or things to see or whatever)? We are trying to space it out so we don't get burned out driving but still want to make decent time.

Avoid Oklahoma. It's boring, the interstates are in perpetual construction and the cops love to hit out of state drivers if they get the chance. Also, if you have ever been to a stripmall or eaten fast food congrats, you've seen all there is to see within a several mile radius of any interstate in OK.

If you can spend 10 days or so, going up the west coast and then across 90/94 is the best. You can time it to go Redwoods - Portland - (optional Seattle) - Couer D'Alene - Yellowstone - Bighorn - Badlands - Haul rear end The Last Boring 600 Miles. You can also go more direct and do Vegas - Zion - Arches - Miscellaneous Awesome Rockies - Denver - Haul rear end The Last Boring 1000 Miles.

Assuming you are going the fastest route it's pretty much just Vegas and Denver. Other than that it's a lot of nothing. Utah is really pretty though! I guess I could try to pitch on places to stop in Iowa but come on.

Thanks to everyone who had suggestions I'm originally from Ventura County, and went to college in Chicago, so I've driven every possible way. The Northern Rockies/PNW combo is a killer road trip, you can even swing a day climbing in Squamish if that's your thing. Try and plan it for two weeks one day, it's a really killer road trip.

Raku posted:I'm not convinced. They lost resoundingly last year and it'll be the same guys starting. Can't really say it better than Notorious did but it'll be an entirely different game than last year. I'm not expecting UT to blow them away but Dobbs is a completely different QB than Worley and the addition of Alvin Kamara changes the run game a lot. Hurd will be the starter instead of Lane (even though Lane got less carries last year, he was the starter, Hurd didn't play much in the beginning of the game). Oklahoma and UT had opposite storylines last year. UT faltered at the beginning of the year and got stronger/better as the year went on. The opposite happened with Oklahoma. I'm not going to hold my breath just yet but if I'm being optimistic I think it'll be a close game.

Zion & the Grand Canyon are nice but not really something to do when moving. The Navajo Reservation is also really cool but incredibly depressing at the same time (Get the Fry Bread if you can though).

I have only watched one Vol game but based on that I assume they are going to win the National Championship and score an Oregon-esque number of points doing so.

Michigan sources are saying that Jim Hackett will start winding down his time at AD after landing the next apparel (Nike) contract, and UConn's Warde Manuel will start to transition into that role. Manuel was a defensive tackle for Michigan from 1986-89.

I've been making the trip between Louisville and Chicago multiple times a year for over 10 years now. Just did it today actually, and that last stretch once you get past Lafayette is a killer. Driving through Illinois is just as bad. Flat and featureless, unless you consider corn a feature.

I think next year is more likely than this year especially depending on who we draw in the west other than Alabama. Right now we're basically trading Oklahoma for Virginia Tech. Yes, I'm stating the obvious - Easier Schedule, better chance of winning.
