I've never been to a game inside another SEC venue before so I'm pretty excited. Anyone got any survival tips?

I've been to every SEC stadium except Arkansas and Florida (and now Texas A&M!). Some general suggestions;

- You're in their house. Act like a guest. Cheer for your team, but don't be an arse.
- There will likely be some super assholes, especially if they win. Ignore them with a "good game" or something. They go away quickly.
- Scout out their traditions. I like seeing what each school does, even if it's just for message board smack later.
- Find a local place to eat and wear your shite. You'll usually get some good football talk.
- Walk through tailgating areas, but with a good attitude (no chip on your shoulder). Some of my best times have been bs'ing with the other guys.
