In person.
I was surprised at the A&M fans in Ttown after they beat us in 2012. I guess it's easy for an out of town fan to be humble and kind, but I had several Aggies offer to buy me drinks. I expected the cocky Texas attitude and didn't come across it.
However I was simply taken aback by how Ole Miss fans acted after they beat UA last Saturday. I expected 10 years of built up anger and aggression towards the Bama faithful, but it was no where to be found. The most trash talk any Reb gave me was a half hearted Hotty Toddy prior to seeing I was wearing a script A polo, after which he apologized and said good game. I was very impressed. The celebration was about uplifting themselves, not bringing down Bama. Kudos to you OM fans for rising above petty trash talk and enjoying a hard fought victory the right way. Here's to a great season going forward

We expect to win at Auburn so we don't rub it in faces

We take pride in how good our fan base acts.

I gave a Bama fan a beer and poured his GF a red solo cup of Champagne.

I know UGA fans have always been known to be gracious to everyone, win or lose. Probably us.

Buddy had the exact opposite experience. Aggie in their section was so bad he got tossed. This may shock you but not every person in every fan base acts the same.

Ole Miss fans in general love college football and have been dying to have a team to be proud of. Not overloaded with sidewalk fans, either (split instate loyalty, lack of overall winning).
Definitely not the NFL-esque "in your face" attitude like some other fan bases...

Aggies have a higher percentage of classy fans than anyone else in the conference. Do some research on fan interactions with Ags and you'll see.

The only in person experience I have with UGA fans was ATL 2012. One dude at the bar turned towards me after a Dawg touchdown and told me to suck it. I gave him a look that said, classy pal. He approached me about 15 mins later and had a beer for me. Said he felt bad for acting like a douche. I gained a lot respect for Dawgs that day.

Bama is gracious enough to allow everyone else to mooch off of our glory.

Over 80% of Ole Miss' fan base is sidewalk

My response was tongue-in-cheek, but I'm glad you had a good experience. We're not all that bad if you don't get all offended by playful shite-talking.

That's absolutely shocking. Are you positive?

In person, all of them.
Outside the SEC I will go with Nebraska and Utah with Utah probably at the top.

The cocky Texas attitude is fabricated by jealous outsiders.

Our sidewalk/alum ratio is among the lowest in the SEC because we haven't won shite in 50 years.
There's nothing wrong with sidewalks tho.
