All of our games against San Jose State should be home games. We should never play a road or neutral game against them. 

I've posted previously that I think the ties between the schools make the games attractive from my point of view. It's not only geography, but also Bill Walsh and Jack Elway that make the game meaningful to me. I hope they can work out a deal to play each other, though even I don't think it should be a year-in, year-out rivalry.

There are circumstances where a big power school will travel to play its little brother. This fall, Oklahoma will travel to the University of Tulsa to play. The schools are about two hours apart.

At first glance, it seems like a comparable situation: OU is, of course, in a powerhouse conference, and TU is not. I do think there are some key differences, however. OU is far, far more popular in Tulsa than the home school, so the move is imo a bit of a sop to all the OU fans in Tulsa, Oklahoma's second-largest city. TU's stadium is small and they have poor attendance, so it is comparable in that regard.
