Been to Auburn, Baton Rouge (not during a game), Knoxville, Starkville (not during a game), Nashville (doesn't count), Lexington, Oxford and of course Tuscaloosa. Never had a bad time in any of these cities.

Haven't been to Arkansas or Missouri.

Athens, GA is definitely the best.

If I haven't been to a town, it is the towns fault for not being interesting enough for me to want to visit, hence the harsh criticism those towns fairly deserve.

You are right. It's pretty impossible to have a bad time in any of these cities on a gameday. After all, you are going there for the experience and to have a good time. There are people literary everywhere so if you run in to some idiots just walk two minutes in another direction and you will have someone literally insisting that you have a beer and a little food from their tailgate. It's awesome. That is what surprised me about Tuscaloosa. Nicest people ever even though I had my Auburn gear on.

Been to:

Auburn
Tuscaloosa
Athens
Knoxville
Columbia (USC)
Gainesville
Fayetteville
Oxford
Nashville

Guess it woulda been easier to say I haven't been to Starkville, Columbia (I did ride through, didn't stop though), Lexington, and college station.

Yup. Athens was awesome. I usually like to discover the "low key" places when I travel, and everyone always talked about Athens like it was the greatest place ever, so I wasn't exactly thrilled to go there. Turns out those people were right. Had an absolute blast.

You can't beat downtown Athens. There's literally a bar for whatever type of person you are. I like going on non gameday weekends so much more. The people aren't as big of dick heads. Georgia has by far the worst game day fans.

Honestly I wouldn't have a reason to go there unless it actually was for a game (football at least). I always wanted to go for a basketball or baseball game but either we are too bad or they are to make the trip in that regard. lol. One day though! haha

Been to all but College Station, Starkville, and Columbia (SC). Lexington is my favorite road trip. Great weather in the fall, bourbon tours, Keeneland. So much more to do than just the game.

It's a great experience. I know people are always talking about how TV makes things more convenient, but you can't really beat actually being there inside the stadium. I'm not talking about season tickets or anything, but once every couple of years or so. There are some people who have never even been to their own team's stadium before.
