I use the trip as an opportunity to highlight whatever school I visit as well as the journey I take to get there!

I also run a donation drive during September to donate to food banks in the name of #SendJayAway.

Thanks to generous internet strangers, we’ve raised over 22k the past two years.

If you see the #SendJayAway votes and wonder what it is:

Back in 2022, I decided I wanted people to vote to send me to a college football game during Texas A&M’s bye week.

Done it every season since in a bracket format until one remains.

Winners so far:

West Virginia 22
SD Mines 23
Montana St 24

Well was about to publish the next set of votes for #SendJayAway but substack went down.

While I’m here, what do y’all think about the format so far?

What changes would you make?

Would it be helpful to put out individual vote links here in addition to the substack posts?
