I have never made it to any expansion team's tailgate, but I have been to ten, and to be honest, there is not a whole lot of difference.Some dbags but most fans are cool to you. People are cooking out and are proud of it and want you to try their food, will offer you something to drink, talk a little smack, and watch and listen to other games around the conference. Now, I haven't done it over 20 years and maybe it has changed, but I doubt it.

I would think you would have to attend a LOT of these to be able to even wager a guess. I mean, what if you showed up at Tiger Stadium when they're playing Alabama, but Jordan-Hare when they're playing Citadel (non-homecoming)?

LSU's tailgates are great if you are an LSU fan or a nuetral guy but to everybody else they are arseholes of the highest order.
I can't stand that place when you have to walk through that mess on gameday. No other place has more 40 year old power drinkers, immature a holes and vile individuals than that one. If I were an LSU fan I'd love it. To have to say a few years ago I wouldnt take my wife and kids to that place again is not good. I love all other venues in the SEC and look forward to many more years but I'm not going back there. It's awful.

I think the Cockabooses skew our rankings a good bit.

I think the tailgate scene is just about the same across the board if you ask me. There might be something here and there that is elevated over another school, but a list like this is more subjective than anything.

I enjoyed tailgating at several of the SEC schools.

Agree. Ppl seem fascinated with them when they see them. I hardly pay any attention to them but I suppose it's bc we see them all the time.

simply not true. Many opposing fans have sang LSU fan's praises for being so welcoming with offering food and booze.

Maybe not as much for Alabama fans, which is fine and actually preferable.

I walked through, got Tigah Baited by most, laughed and gave a thumbs up or a smile and then immediately got offered food and drink and hospitality. This happened probably 5-10 times as we walked to the stadium from the levee. And this was at the "Saban Returns" game of 2008, the height of the hatred. I didn't have a single hostile experience.

I loved it.

I'm an A&M fan and LSU is my favorite place to tailgate outside of College Station. Ignore the outliers that are obviously trying to start shite, return light hearted banter without getting butt hurt, and you will normally leave random tailgates too drunk/full to walk.

In your defense I would imagine bama fans do get significantly more razzing than others.

Also @ #33

I was hoping everyone but Mizzou would be listed so we'd have another argument for kicking them out...not that we really need another.

Bingo. Any experienced SEC fan who travels to road games occasionally should be able to very quickly pick up on who is just having fun and who is being hostile and out of line (generally involving too much alcohol).

Smile and return favor to the first, walk past and ignore the second. Very easy. I've had very few of the second at any SEC school and none that weren't easily ignored.
