Been to Tuscaloosa 4 times. Got destroyed every time. Impressive atmosphere.
But even more impressive, a visiting fan can walk around for hours before the game and be offered more food and beverage than you could possibly consume.
It’s like the tailgates were trying to outdo each other giving Hog fans bbq, beer, and booze. I’m sure knowing they were going to kick our arse helped with that.

the quietest/boring game ive ever been to was actually @UGA. This was due to the final score being 9-6. Both fans were upset at how their team played.

I was blown away by how nice the stadium was. I went in 2009 and unfortunately witnessed the start of the Mark Ingram Heisman campaign.

The best road atmosphere I’ve ever been to was Bama LSU in OT 2014. But that is the only one where I was in the lower bowl. I’ve been in the upper deck Bama section against Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi State so that’s not the most fair assessment
Best atmospheres at a Bama game were the Camback, 9-6 (although it needed more big plays), and Auburn 2014 when the score was 55-44
I’ve also sat in the lower bowl as a neutral fan in the Egg Bowl in Starkville. In hindsight I would have brought earplugs for the cowbells

Been to LSU twice, best tailgating hands down. Fried turkey, cracklins, boudin, gumbo ... if you don't have a good time there you don't have a pulse.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a whole thread out of this. Cincinnati fans this past year were probably the single rowdiest group I’ve ever seen for a bowl game

I'd say the 2 rowdiest neutral crowds I've seen were Utah in the 2008 Sugar and Ohio State in 2014. I heard similar about Cincy this year, though (we had to cancel that trip last minute because of COVID).
There were only like 10,000 of them but the Utah fans in 2008 were turned up to 11. They were out of their mind rowdy.
Michigan State in 2015 was excited but they seemed to kind of know what was coming.

Such a unique situation for the Group of 5s to be in. You’re undefeated, likely you’re best team ever, but are told that you’re team is gonna get spanked for almost a month. Any sort of positive plays are gonna be cathartic for you

2016 Auburn might be my favorite just because we were 6-4 while Auburn was Top 10. Kirby’s first year. Auburn didn’t get a first down in the 2nd half. We won 13-7 with our only TD being a pick six

That State/Bama game (and the subsequent Auburn game) were very loud. Fans has a special attachment to both the 2014/2015 teams. They were as close to scrappy underdog teams as we've had in the Saban era.

Yeah, it's not often a #1 team not named Bama plays in BDS

That was the week after SC upset #1 Alabama too. I was so pissed watching that game on TV.
