Not to brag, but yes. There's a couple I've only been to once, and a few I doubt that I ever go to again. But every one, yes.

going to away games is totally awesome. i've been to all except como, college station, co sc. the rest i've been to at least once including little rock twice. oxford 5 times. my favorites are knoxville/smokies, athens and oxford. having said that, i would love to go back to fayetteville. i think it would join that list. there were interesting stories at each place.
gainesville - watching the moonies outside the stadium try to interact with the drunk people was comedy gold. and jorts are real.
lexington - i was there in '07. yes, that game. we were standing in shock as the fans rushed the field. after a few minutes of celebration, it was as if most of them realized that lsu fans were still in the stadium. they simultaneously looked at the lsu section and started running over to taunt. the mob moved from the middle of the field to the corner. then we decided it would be in our best interest to leave immediately. we start olympic fast walking to the car. as we're crossing campus, it literally looked like world war z. cars were driving all over the grounds, people were running/yelling/screaming. it was bizarre.
fayetteville - apparently those people take thanksgiving seriously because it was a ghost town. totally dead. we drove all over looking for food on thurs night. even the convenience stores were closed. we only found a wacky sushi place and steak and shake next to best buy. there were people lined up in the rain to get the new iphone or whatever.
starkville - breakfast the next morning. some good ole boys at the table next to us are talking all the different flavors of moonshine they can make and how they make good christmas gifts.
oxford - except for the square, that town shuts down at night. the drive through at each place was a mile long. we found chicken on a stick at a gas station. and all the guys wear the sleeveless north face fleece like clones.
athens - one year we parked at a church and they were allowing people to use their bathrooms. it was interesting watching drunk people stagger through a church past all the pictures of jesus to the bathroom. although i didn't see anyone bring their booze in with them so, there's that.

You can't beat downtown Athens. There's literally a bar for whatever type of person you are.

Fayetteville is a blast for sure. And you don't have to deal with Clarke co police
Posted on 4/26/15 at 1:19 pm to bigDgator
I have been to all except Fayetteville and College Station. This isn't a bucket list deal for me, but good post. Strangely in thinking about it I've been to every Big 10 city except Penn ST and have not seen a game in any of them.

YEP. All kinds of bars. We prefer the comparison "a lot like how Austin was 20 years ago" over "similar to Athens", too.

Haha. Good times! That's why I hardly ever follow other people's recommendations when traveling. Those are the experiences in life that you will remember forever.

Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Gainesville, Nashville, Knoxville, Columbia (SC)

I used to love living in Auburn right across the street from campus (Magnolia for Auburn alums). I had a cheap apartment with a third story balcony overlooking everything. Gamedays were serious business there from just sitting outside observing. The weirdest thing I ever saw was a "person" in a tiger mascot suit...cheap, looking nothing like Aubie (fully suited up like he was in Disney Land).....arguing with and eventually getting arrested by a cop. Why? I will always remember that, but just never really know what I saw that day.

So they feel as though they can validly respond to any thread titled, "Rank the best SEC [tailgating/campus/town/women/airport/restaurants/parking/historic landmark/campus tradition/bars/road trip/game day experience/opposing fans/library/taxi system/lakes/Greek houses/traffic conditions/Yeti cooler sellers], when in reality, they've only ever visited four other SEC towns.
