Some of Andrew Bauhs' favorite stops on his college football tour
Texas A&M
Bauhs' explanation: Texas A&M breathes college football culture. Nowhere will you experience traditional yells delivered in a more choreographed and unified manner by fans congregated in a 100,000-seat behemoth that rises like a skyscraper.
Wisconsin
Bauhs' explanation: Wisconsin is the all-around experience. It's consistently listed in the upper echelon of game day experiences for its urban yet naturally scenic campus, its electric traditions like Jump Around and the Fifth Quarter, and its wild party atmosphere.
Army
Bauhs' explanation: Located along the Hudson River, Army and West Point embody American history. Like Navy and Air Force, its game day traditions inspire pride for country with heart-pumping military routines and traditions that reach to the roots of college football.
Ole Miss
Bauhs' explanation: Ole Miss stands out with a classic southern game day amplified through its tailgating experience. The Grove is a 10-acre tree-canopied oasis on campus where a community of tents bring a mix of energy and elegance as many of the tailgaters feature fine fare, fancy decor and formal attire.
Cal
Bauhs' explanation: Cal is set in the vibrant college town of Berkeley. The stadium's classic bowl shape fills with a hearty group of fans that gather clear up to the adjacent Tightwad Hill where onlookers can peer down into the arena while admiring picturesque views of the Bay Area including the Golden Gate Bridge.
