And, another opinion, if you can keep your lunch down:
Excerpt
No to USC. I'm not going to be the monkey act that follows the Beatles. No to Boston College. Even though I love Boston, there might be a ceiling on how far I could take the program. No to Miami and Arizona State. It's beyond me why human beings willingly choose to live in a blast furnace. No to Minnesota. It's beyond me why human beings (including most of my family) willingly choose to live in a freezer. No to Georgia Tech. Atlanta is fine, but it's not my first choice of major metropolitan areas. No to Colorado. It's close, considering Boulder offers the best of all worlds being so pretty and so close to Denver, but I don't ski. No to Ohio State. It's Columbus and I'm not Andy Travis (a big sloppy hug to anyone who gets that). No to Michigan. Detroit sucks.
I'm not the biggest fan of Los Angeles, it's a big, beige strip mall, but if money isn't an issue there are more than enough good places to live to make the family happy. UCLA has the weather and the program in place to do big things in a hurry, especially if USC starts to decline in any way over the next few years.
And, another opinion, if you can keep your lunch down:
But if I'm going to move somewhere and have to spend most of days in any one city, it's Athens, Georgia.
First of all, Mark Richt seems like a great boss, and although I'd probably burn those black jerseys when he wasn't looking (after what happened in the Alabama game), I think it'd be great to be on the inside of those meetings to decide which motivational ploy to use next.
Then, there's the fact that there's not a cooler stadium than the one between the hedges. Especially when you're sitting in the East end zone watching the sun set over the north Georgia hills. The city is incredible. No better nightlife in any college town in the USA. And in case you haven't noticed, no one can compete with UGA's co-eds. The summer I lived in Athens was one of the best of my life. And just to top it all off, you'd get to coach in the strongest conference in the nation at a school that has a shot to end up in the BCS every year.
