The opponents were announced right after the last game of the regular season, but it's just now that I'm getting around to figuring out which games I'll be going to next season.
It's been my dream for years to watch a Titans game at LP Field and, thanks to a free Southwest flight and a new friend who is a Titans fan, I think my dream will come true this year. But which team do I want to see my Titans play? A team they will beat, obviously. I'd really like to see them play the Buccaneers because of my newfound respect for Josh Freeman, but a Colts game would also be epic. I guess it will all boil down to when each game is played. I can't use too many vacation days on this trip because there are so many more games I'd like to see.
Unfortunately, a home game is all I'm going to get out of the Titans this year because they are staying far away from the west coast next season. However, I'm getting extraordinarily spoiled by the Jets, as there are 2 games for me to attend that are close to me.
They are playing in Denver again, which is awesome because my best friend lives just outside of Denver and I can kill two birds with one stone that way. See my bestie, my niece and my boys all in one trip? Perfection!
The Jets are also playing in Oakland and, though I have often said I will not go to a Raiders game because their fans terrify me, I'm going to bite the bullet and go. My friend is a Raiders fan, so if I show up with her and keep my Jets attire concealed until I'm in my seat, maybe I can escape unscathed. Or maybe I can persuade Nick to give me family section tickets so I don't have to fear for my life.
The greatest news of next season is that I have a friend who just moved to NYC to get his Masters degree at NYU and he wants me to come visit so we can go to a game. A home game for the Titans and the Jets?!?! It would be the best year of my life! Too bad I only have 2 weeks of vacation to spread throughout the year, otherwise I doubt I would work at all in the fall.
I doubt anyone really cares about my football plans, but I thought I'd lay them out there in case anyone wants to join me on my cross country adventures!
