This can be SEC or Non-Conference, let's hear it I think Ole Miss plays Georgia two seasons from now in Athens and I can't wait.

Maybe 08 ASU just because of the novelty of it. New city, new state, new stadium, basically a fun little mini-vacation.

Mine was recent.

Oxford this year. Have friends with a son going to school there, so we rented a nice house through VRBO or something. Enjoyed the square the night before (even with the rather obnoxious and cocky Ole Miss fans jeering every move...act like you've been there before at some point please), experienced the shock of the cocky Ole Miss fans with the 4th and 25 miracle (classic disbelief) and had a great dinner out after the game (with no Ole Miss fans hassling us not even one bit).

Oxford is a crappy little town, but we had some decent food and a great place to stay.

Scratch all that...the best road trip is to LSU if you stay in New Orleans...and why the hell would anyone stay in Baton Rouge?

UGA is usually the more eventful road trip because of their aggressive fans (especially when we beat them in 2007), so probably that one.

New Orleans in January 2012, and it's not even close.

I had a lot of fun in Oxford in 2014 despite the loss. I have a lot of good friends who are Ole Miss grads, and most of the fans I met were cool. Pretty much the opposite of most Ole Miss posters on this site.

Tuscaloosa 2011

That was one of the more hostile environments I've ever been in and I loved every second of it

We had tailgate food thrown at us by a fat trailer trash lady-gump after we were going crazy from watching the Ford run in OT


Athens is a close second... but we lost the game

Stopped by Oxford on a Thursday on our way up to Fayetteville for the Arky game. Went to a few bars, I think one was The Library. Had chicken on a stick. Stayed at a fraternity party house above a bar.

Had fun in Fayetteville aside from the game that year. Damn you Tiffin!

Saw Mr. Pookie at one of the fraternity houses then went out to a few bars. All the girls asked if we were from Bama, must have been the Bama bangs.

Gainesville a few times in the early-mid 90s. One great game and a couple of stinkers, but always had a lot of fun.

Gamecocks vs Ohio State, 2001, Outback Bowl in Tampa Bay.

Their fans were absolutely horrible, arrogant, insufferable excuses for human beings before the game.

Watching the progression of utter and complete disbelief progress to profound shock and then what almost appeared to be severe physical pain and suffering among those same fans as we proceeded to spank that arse was extremely gratifying.

BR

We rented a limo from New Orleans and packed eight Australians in with us.

They had never seen "grid iron" football and were amazed at tailgating.

Been to BR several times, and it's always my favorite. Will be there again in November.

Best day trip was back in 2007. December 28th went to College Station for a basketball game. After the game, dad surprises me with tickets to the Alamo Bowl for that night.

Florida. When Lattimore ran for about 1000 yards and was dragging Gators all over the field. Won the East, and the Swamp was quiet pretty much the entire game after the opening kickoff.

Oxford '03..

Invited to Ole Miss student section but had to leave after several Rebs informed me they would kick my arse if I kept cheering for LSU..

Still kinda feel bad about waving my arms around and screaming "It's Over" after Eli tripped.
