Have lived in 4 of them (MS,TN,AL,MO) and have been to all the others. The only stadiums I haven't visited are KY and A&M. Had planned a trip to KY, but had to have surgery instead back in, I think 2005.

All of them. Mostly just passing through except for AL, FL, SC, TN, GA.

Never been to Arkansas, Kentucky, or Missouri

All of them. I've only been to Kentucky and South Carolina once a piece. The rest, multiple times.

I have at least driven through or visited all of them except for Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia.
My observations that nobody will give a frick about:
Eastern Tennessee is beautiful, I would live out there if I could find a decent job/convince the woman to move there. Nashville is awesome. However, the western corner of the state, Memphis in particular, is horrible.
I've driven across Kentucky going from Chicago to Raleigh, most of it was lovely, though I haven't spent any significant time in its major cities.
I've only been to Charleston and Myrtle Beach in SC. Charleston is very charming; enjoyed my trip.
I hate Florida, well most of it. Destin is ok. Rosemary Beach is ok. But the state as a whole is comprised of awful tourist trap towns, trashy mansions that are owned by old New Jersey transplants, retirement communities, crime-ridden dumps, and gator-infested swamps with 150% humidity. I've never been to Gainesville though, so I can't speak to that, UF fans.
As far as Mississippi, I've only been to Oxford for a day during a trip to Memphis. It's a nice little town. I can see why people love going to school there. I haven't seen a whole lot of the rest of the state.
Most of Arkansas is backwards and terrible. It's like driving through all of the worst parts of the 1950s. But NW Arkansas is quite pretty, and Fayetteville benefits greatly from being nestled in the Ozarks. Getting there is kind of a pain in the arse, though.
As far as Texas, I've only been to Houston. I hated Houston. It's hot, there is no zoning, horrible traffic, very little to do other than millions of shopping malls and chain restaurants. No thanks. The area by Rice's campus was enjoyable I guess.

how is it possible for it to be a pain for you to get from shitty kansas city to arkansas? are you coming on a horse and buggy?
and no way in hell is arkansas any more backwards than you racist rioting looters in missouri.

I've been to all of them, but haven't "visited" Arkansas or Texas.

Just realized I've been to almost thirty different countries but have never been to South Carolina (live in GA)

North Arkansas is beautiful. The south, though not visually bad, is awful. Drive through Arkadelphia to Amity on to Oklahoma this summer. There's some backwoods mofos in that area.

It took me thinking about my reply to this topic to realize that I've been to every SEC state. Only been to South Carolina once, but all of the others I've been to several times. I've only ever actually stayed in Mississippi once, and that was to go deep sea fishing. Passed through Mississippi probably 100 times though, easily the worst SEC state (not even trying to troll).
Slacker, I only replied to your post because you were the last one. Sheer laziness on my part.

All of them many times. Have lived in Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama and we had operations in Georgia and South Carolina. The only time I have actually been in Kentucky that I can think of is flying into the Cincinnati airport.
