The weather is getting cooler, and college football is going strong. Here’s the scoop on just one of the country’s best rivalries to help your sports travel planning.

· Rivalry Match-Up: UCLA at USC on November 28.
These two teams have been playing since you great grandparents were in college, so there has been plenty of bad blood over the years to get the rivalry going. Students see each other around town since both schools are located in Los Angeles, so the constant trash talking isn’t just between the schools’ coaches. Yes, they too love to mouth off at one another whenever they get the chance. USC leads the all time series and will probably bring home the win this year. However, if UCLA can pull out a win, the Victory Bell will be sporting Bruin blue for the holiday season.

The weather is getting cooler, and college football is going strong. Here’s the scoop on just one of the country’s best rivalries to help your sports travel planning.

· Rivalry Match-Up: The University of Cincinnati at the University of Pittsburgh on December 5
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh played a few times in the roaring '20s, but after that there weren’t many on-field battles until 2005. That year Cincinnati joined the Big East conference and a new rivalry was born.

It’s one of college football’s newest rivalries and solid play is making it one of the best. The two schools even used their academic abilities to design a snazzy new trophy to boost the competition. The Paddlewheel Trophy—named in honor of paddleboats that ran between the two cities—went to Cincinnati last year, and we’re thinking they’ll snag it again this year. However, Pitt does lead the River City Rivalry series, so anything can happen when the two teams meet.

Fans of the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons now have an easy pick when it comes to choosing their favorite airline—it has to be AirTran. The airline that loves in-flight WiFi has just released a Boeing 717 dubbed Ravens One from the hangar, and the plane is ready to shuttle fans to away games around the country.

Just a couple weeks ago, the airline pulled the masking tape off another plane dedicated to the Atlanta Falcons. It’s fitting that AirTran has a thing for football teams named after birds. However, the airline is also planning to release a plane with an Indianapolis Colts livery in just a few weeks. From what we’ve seen of Peyton Manning’s acting skills in commercials, we have little doubt that he’ll be the featured pitchman for the Colts’ new plane. ]]> kjb 2009-11-06T08:48:32-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/11/4/72825/3898

Professional football has arrived and the World Series is pretty cool, but more importantly for some, college football is going strong. Here’s the scoop on just one of the country’s best rivalries to help your sports travel planning.

· Rivalry Match-Up: The Ohio State University at The University of Michigan on November 21
These two schools hate one another even though the teams aren’t as competitive as they used to be. Let’s just say they are both in a rebuilding period—especially Michigan. The teams have been battling it out since the 1930s, with the winner of the game often winning the Big Ten Conference and heading out to the Rose Bowl. Some even refer to this rivalry as simply The Game, so it’s pretty clear that this is a big one. Ohio State has won the last five games in a row, but Wolverine fans can always hope that this is their year to take home the win.

With sunshiny days flooding into the southern hemisphere, New Zealand is getting ready to host a whole bunch of sporting events that will no doubt attract a few tourist-fans too. Whether you're into tough endurance sports, sedate strolls or hitting the waves, there is an event to suit your New Zealand plans.

The Moa Beer Moa Hunt attracted us pretty easily just through the sponsor's name in the title, but then we found out it's hard work: a 40 kilometer (25 mile) mountain bike race on a course they describe as "stunning," which we can only guess means "very mountainous and hard on the legs." But if you're fitter than us, the good news is it's not too late to enter online for the November 28 race. ]]> amandak 2009-11-02T16:34:20-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/30/75553/898

It's World Series time and things are all tied up at one game a piece after two nights of great pitching for both the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies. Now the players and fans are driving down the Jersey Turnpike to get ready for game three between the Yankees and Phillies on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park. Loving you just as much we do baseball, we've put together some ideas for ways to stay entertained throughout your baseball-filled evening. Again, feel free to ignore all this advice below if you'd rather just watch the game. After all, that's what you paid for.

· Before The Game
The Phillies newish stadium is located in the middle of a huge parking lot that is shared by the city's other sports teams—so we’re thinking that most fans are going to drive to the game. Standard parking is $12 per car, but we’re a little suspicious that they could increase the charge since it is the World Series. Public transportation is available through SEPTA, but the workers might go on strike this weekend—so a car could be pretty handy. If you want some trains, the Broad Street Line is the best bet, just peep the schedule right here. ]]> kjb 2009-10-30T09:39:19-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/29/82412/060

· Rivalry Match-Up: LSU at Alabama on November 7
Alabama’s coach used to be the big dog tiger over at LSU, but now he’s calling the plays for the Crimson Tide. Last year he was warmly welcomed with a chorus of boos and name-calling, and we’re pretty much expecting the same thing this year. These two teams have played against each other over seventy times so there’s lots of bad blood. Alabama leads the all time series, but before last year, LSU was cruising with a winning streak.
