I nominate MSU. There's basically one or two ways to get out off campus. Last time I went, it took us over and hour and a half just to get out of a parking lot.
I can usually get out of Tuscaloosa within 30 minutes.

I truly believe that AThens PD and campus police make the traffic WORSE leaving the campus. They funnel the traffic a certain way and the roads they close hurt a natural flow. There are 3 main ways to get away from Athens and the police funnel you to the loop every time.
BRPD does the same. We would always just chill and tailgate until the cops leave, and then traffic flows out like water. Before then, it's gridlock.

Athens has the worst football traffic I've ever experienced.
I've been to football games in Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Knoxville, Oxford, Athens and Columbia, Mo. Athen is at least twice as bad as the next town, and I'm not even sure which one that would be.

Someday, you will make it to BR, where the interstate has been gridlocked at 1:00pm on a Sunday the last 3 weeks in a row.

Uga and Clemson are the worst I've been to. Clemson is horrible

I've never understood why everyone tries to take I-20/59 to get from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham.

UGA was my longest at over 2 hours. Of course that was years ago, so it might be better now. It's doubtful I would drive out now, seeing as I am of drinking age. Athens is too good to not hang out in.

Ole Miss was much better in 2013 than it was in 2012. Changes were made. Appreciated it very much.
I've been to Oxford (twice), Starkville, Fayetteville, and Tuscaloosa. Starkville was easy, but we pretty much ran them out of the stadium so that might not be typical. Both times in Oxford, everyone stuck around to the end and traffic was bad. Fayetteville wasn't good. Tuscaloosa is terrible if you're heading to Birmingham post-game, but I heard from folks who went west after the game that it wasn't very bad that way.
College Station is easy. Even with 20,000 more seats, I wouldn't expect traffic to be much worse--the additional fans are going to have to park at remote locations and ride shuttles because they haven't added any more parking on campus, at least not yet.

I'll be there in 2016, my friend. Not that I'm looking forward to it or anything.....

I'm nominating LSU

I nominate Mississippi state for the easiest.
Campus is large, lots of multi lanes. Good traffic control. And probably more ways in and out than most campuses. Seriously, I think there are six "main" entrances with huge arse signage and then several more if you know your way around.
Best parking spot at MSU is down Collegeview Drive. You can usually park on the street or in the daycare parking lot and not only not pay for parking, you can get on the highway in about 3 minutes.

halftime at LSU

Bama, LSU, and Georgia are the worst I've experienced, but it really depends on the magnitude of the game and the kickoff time. Bama is pretty easy if it's an 11:30 kickoff, but the absolute worst if it's a night game.

I forgot to mention Baton Rouge. We were on a bus and, while it to a while to get back to the interstate (they sent us on road that ran right by the river), at least we were moving fairly quickly. Of course, there were probably 25000 no shows for that game, and with the weather and the way the game went, a lot of those who did show left early.

Clemson's the worst I've ever dealt with

Athens is easy to get out of (I live here). The key is backstreets and stay off prince and milledge. Cross streets are your friends here. We drive right around stadium before during and after games without a care. Write me when you come for game and I can give pointers.

Well I am sure you wouldn't mind a bit of extra traffic this year
I'm bringing a mega pack of Scott .... we're gonna roll the railroad track down by where we park, after the win. Plus we're gonna fling rolls of toilet paper out the window at Auburn cops and then make a run for the border ... after we stop at Shakey's for some pizza and beer.
