Lot of bickering today. What is your favorite town to visit as a road fan. (Not including Atlanta because some of you have never been)

Personally I like Gainesville, FL. Seemed like a very clean place, great bar scene for the nighttime hours. The Swamp Bar close to the stadium was loads of fun.

Worst = Starkville, MS i feel like i don't really need to explain myself on this one

1) athens
2) auburn
3) tuscaloosa
4) oxford

i'll have auburn higher than most. i like the campus/town, and i really like sky bar

eta: the square in oxford is great, but covers get ridiculous. the grove is incredibly overrated.

Yep, as there should be. We need to save these types of "whose dick is biggest" threads for when everyone is minding their manners and life is boring again.

I do everything in my power to never go back. I'd rather visit Detroit.

I've only been to a handful (6) of SEC towns, so there's no way I can comment with legitimacy on the conference as a whole.

Of those I've visited:

Like - Fayetteville, Nashville, Columbia (MO)
Dislike - Oxford
Neutral - Baton Rouge, Starkville

If there ends up being fires and looting in Oxford I might make the trip.

best -- Nashville or Baton Rouge

worst -- College Station. Archived footage of the Vietnam War looks better than that port-o-let

Come on.
This thread is only started every week or two during the off-season.
What'd you expect?

I'll give you that. I agree. I'm accustomed to more laid back tailgating. I wore the blazer or whatever a couple of times then said screw this I'm in college. Really it's mostly just a frat thing and if you get away from that you can find better tailgating.

Having said that, the grove is quite amazing aside from the tailgate aspect.
