I've been to one our away games in Oxford. Hung out in the grove. Very lame.

Can Ole Miss fans explain what about it is special.

Lousy tailgating

It's so overrated, cold Wal Mart chicken tenders underneath a chandelier.

Everybody says it's lame. In fact it has a national reputation for being lame. Get at the back of the line.

But, have you ever walked in the Grove, barefoot, at night?

It's just a bunch of poor people acting rich under a few trees. There's nothing interesting about the grove.

We already know... everything about Ole Miss sucks and the grove is overrated. It's an opinion thread started at least twice every offseason.

Fwiw I have a great time in the grove, and plenty others do as well. Sounds like a personal problem to me if you don't.

I really don't see the fascination with tailgating at away games. I enjoy seeing and visiting people I know. Other than Ole Miss, not sure I would run into anyone I know other than other State people at an away game. We go through this 100s of times each season. To me; our tailgating is better than yours simply because I know people at ours and I don't know people at yours. Pretty simple, really.

Because most have never been out of NW MS. They just don't know any better.

The Grove is nice. I've had a lot of fun there. Half of my family are Rebs, but they're all assh*les.

Like I said, you're part of a vocal minority who share the same opinion. Congrats.

If everyone thought like you did, then we wouldn't constantly be ranked in the top 5-10 tailgating spots.

While poor may not be the best adjective to use I guarentee half the crowd carries 6 figure cc debt they have no ability of paying back.

I've been to the grove 3 times now. It's fun, I'm not saying it sucks or anything, but it is unbelievably overrated. It is without question not the tailgating oasis it's made out to be. Back in the day (before corporations took it over, RIP) the quad at bama was what the grove wishes it was.
