It's easy to tell who hasn't actually been to Athens because they mention "all that barking."

LSU, Ole Miss and Bama are fun.

USC is the worst.

The only time you'll hear barking is tailgaiting or walking to games on Sat. I've NEVER heard it in Athens otherwise, especially downtown. I know I'm partial but Athens is a beautiful college town with arguably the best college bar scene/downtown in the U.S.

One of the best experiences I've had was at LSU after we beat them. People were friendly, sharing their food and alcohol. Campus is pretty, can get really muggy early in the season. Bama and Ole Miss have beautiful campuses. The Ole Miss Bar scene is cool but too quaint for me after being used to Athens.

USCe has an awesome fraternity/sorority row, but other than that......... People there are very friendly but the campus and bar scene leave a lot to be desired. Auburn's building all match, but it's in the middle of nowhere and the bar scene is very sub par. The area surrounding UT is kinda pretty with the river and all. You'd think they would do a lot more with it. I have nothing good to say about the rest, so I won't say anything.

I hate to say, but it's actually true.


Years ago, maybe 2008, USC was in town. I was wearing a faded black uga shirt, and I guess alot of people mistook me for a Carolina fan, and I got barked at obnoxiously by brain dead frat boys drunk at 11am and couldn't see the damn bulldog in the middle of the shirt... just saw the USC-ish color scheme and decided I was a cock fan and barking in my face. It happened more than once that day.
