Penn State
Their fans absolutely trashed the Alabama campus when they visited ten years ago or whatever.
They left trash everywhere, it was like they had no idea that going to a football game didn't give random people the right to just drop their beers and and whatever else wherever they happened to be like a two year old.
Never seen any SEC fanbase win or lose do that.
Notre Dame
Their fans in 2012 in Miami at the NC game actually dumped their tailgating trash into piles in the parking lot and some of them threw burning charcoal on the garbage to the point that walking out through the parking lot after the game was almost post apocalyptic.
Not sure if they just didnt want to drive or fly back with it, but starting garbage bonfires was not what I expected from private school fans with the means to attend a NC game.
Also saw multiple fans escorted out of a luxury box at halftime for blacking out or starting fights which was a new one. Again, not saying all their fans are that way but it wasn't a good impression and I've been on the road to most of the SEC and a number of venues in the B10.

People who live in the Big 10 areas from Illinois to the east are mostly trashy.

Yeah, they kind of sucked.
On the opposite end of the spectrum are the Oklahoma fans. They were great.

Something I will never forget.
In 1979 I was driving back from Florida to Oklahoma during Christmas break. Alabama had just beaten Penn State in the Sugar Bowl to claim the national championship.
I decided to stop by the Alabama campus on my way back to visit an OU friend who was in grad school.
He took me on a jog walk tour of the campus on the next Sunday morning after the game. We noticed that some Penn State fans had come through Tuscaloosa on their way to New Orleans and had defaced the Bama campus... spray painting "We are Penn State" in a number of places.
Pretty much gave me a negative image of Penn State right then and there.

My experience was completely different. I had a very negative view of Irish fans before that game - figured that they were arrogant Northerners like the typical Michigan or OSU fan. Couldn't be further from the truth. All the ND fans parked around us were friendly as can be. Shared their beer and played Cornhole. The college aged guys sitting next to us were friendly (albeit a bit depressed after the opening drive).
