Did I dream that we are having an over seas trip this summer? If so, anyone know where and when?

Should be a great opportunity to gel and play against strong competition.

Thanks. I saw on the local news that Auburn is headed to Israel this week and I thought we had a trip. I searched back to May and quit. Should really help all the new guys gell with the old.

If memory serves, historically VU has had a few special seasons on the heels of these trips. Wasn’t there one in 2004 and maybe 2008, or am I just misremembering/making things up? (I find myself doing that more and more with age!)

No, you are correct. We have had some of our best teams after a foreign summer trip.

And in 2017 the team had to go to the Virgin Islands instead of Italy (https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports ... 552548001/(, and look what happened that season.

The NCAA allows teams to travel international every 4 years.
