With my second football season away from Oxford coming up, I'm adopting USCe as my team from the East. Y'all's entrance is 
, campus is only 100 miles out, y'all are experiencing the type of success we'd like to have in 2015 and beyond, etc. I'll quit the dick-riding now and get to my question.
My roommate (Carolina grad) and I will be looking to road trip for an away game. Looking at Clemson, Auburn or Florida, but most likely Gainesville since I've never been there. How have y'all's experiences been down there in recent years? Good crowds, good times, etc. TIA

Haven't been to Gainesville but should be going this year.
Went to Auburn in 2010 and it was great. Very friendly fans
Went to Clemson in 2005 for the Miami game. It was pretty, but I remember a lot of hills and waiting forever to get out because everybody had to use the same road

Step 1, you don't need to say USCe, we know who you're referring to. So Cal doesn't play in the SEC.
Step 2. Gainesville is a good road game, but getting a hotel there can be a hassle, so plan early.

Of the three, I'd say go to Gainesville. UF fans have always been very kind to us, and they really do have a beautiful campus/stadium. Lots of guidos, but that's not explicitly the university's fault.
Auburn is too "Pleasantville" for me. Everyone's nice and it's idyllic, but you get the impression that there's something pretty evil lurking under the surface.
If you want to go to Clemson, go on an off weekend, or when they're playing some also-ran in the ACC. It's a very heated rivalry, and their fans are notorious assholes when it comes to being around USC fans. But the campus and experience are worth seeing, so I'd still go, just not when they're playing USC.
And Ole Miss is, and always has been, my West team. Brother went to grad school there, and I've spent a lot of time in Oxford. Only other SEC school's hat that I own.
