(Struggling for anything else).

Georgia - Uga isn't capable of eating a human

Kentucky - Anthony Davis - Go Pelicans!

LSU - EVERYTHING

Mississippi State - Rural settings can be very pretty.

Missouri - See Auburn

Ole Miss - Oxford is a great little town.

South Carolina - Cocks on the baseball hats is funny

Alabama - @HunterLJohnson

Arkansas - Your women make great first wives. Congrats!

Auburn - Your girls are typically really attractive. Kudos!

Florida - Wuerffel

Georgia - The wild women. The rippin and the tearin.

Kentucky - Ashley Judd

LSU - Bogies

Mississippi State - Stromboli's is my jam.

Missouri - Quinn Snyder was the man.

Ole Miss - Singlehandedly keeping all these stupid "Southern Gentleman" lines of menswear in business since 1848

South Carolina - The areas surrounding your football stadium had me very nostalgic for Panama City

Tennessee - Like OM girls, yours are very prudish. Unlike OM girls, they are ugly.

Texas A&M - (no message)

Vanderbilt - San Antonio Taco Co. + Demunbreun = #drunj

Alabama - When we're being honest, Bama and UT are somewhat like fraternal twins or cousins who grew up with one another and developed a grudge against one another because we've always been competing with one another. Yet, because we're always competing and trying to outdo one another, we've made one another better. TSIO will always be the game if for no other reason than we both owe that game and the coaches who emphasized it for turning us both into national powers.

Love the helmets, the traditions, the competition. Respect the hell out of the Bear. Saban is admirable in some ways but I haven't cared much for the personalities of the QBs who've been the face of the program under him (the player face). I think Saban is a better guy than he's given credit for.

Arkansas - Your fans have been the only ones who've managed to get me to participate in one of your rituals on game day. They talked me into wearing the hog hat for a photo with them even though it was a UT-Arky game day and even taught me how to properly call the hawgs. Although, I was reluctant to do this at the time, I eventually decided 'what the hell' let's have some fun. It's one of my favorite memories with opposing fans on a gameday.

Auburn - I really miss our rivalry. It used to be one of the better ones before expansion. It also had the distinction of always having a good natured feel to it despite being a very important rivalry game to both teams. I loved seeing Toomer's Oaks getting rolled after a win (as long as it wasn't against us). The War Eagle is also cool and beautiful to see take flight.

Florida - Oh how I miss the days of Spurrier and Fulmer. You were the school we all loved to hate and hate we did. The drama, shenanigans, FaxGate, even the very out of control, possibly criminal but typically even then more humiliating than permanently damaging, things the lower class fans of each side did to one another further added to the drama (though looking back I'd say the fan stuff was 90% exaggeration). Y'all had our number to be sure but back when it was going both teams always had a chance to win. Some of my best game memories came from those games the dramatic wins - seeing things cool off I even miss the close losses where both teams were so damned talented it wasn't even fair (now when we're back I probably won't miss those at all but I will probably still have some nostalgia about them - the Strip would start the party Thursday with all kinds of pre-game partying, hate events like smashing cars, specialized food like gator meat and much more and it didn't stop til Sunday morning.

Also, there's no doubt UF has worked hard to up it's academic standing and is currently one of the better public universities in the US. Y'all also have a damn good AD overall.

UGA - Beautiful town and campus plus great teams and very nice field/stadium. I've always liked UGA to tell you the truth. And I love the interaction between our fans. This has always been one of the outright funnest games on our schedule.

Oh and Uga is one "damn good dog!"

Kentucky - I consider you more our in-state rival because I'm far closer to Kentucky both family and geography wise. Love that the rivalry has always been two sport despite one having a better program in each sport than the other. I miss the Keg too and have a soft spot for UK sports because of my Mammaw.

LSU - Love the colors and the uniqueness of your tailgating. I always have fun with LSU fans - great people.

Mississippi St. - I like DAK as both a player and as a person (remember reading about him and he seems like a great guy).

Missouri - I will always be grateful for the 2012 game which helped us get rid of Dooley. Watching him quit on his team while that game was going on was the final nail in his coffin - the needed one. Also, kudos to Pinkel for leveraging the advantage of an incredibly experienced Mizzou team last year and going to the SECCG. Love the rocks and that one blackout helmet you have.

Ole Miss - Great place, beautiful campus and great people. Uniforms are pretty slick too. I love how OM takes its obligation to be better than the past seriously. Others would've put that burden down but OM carries it with determination even a sense of pride that it's your duty to make a new legacy and set an example and owns it, reminding us all that there's no shame in trying to better this world. Faulkner is my favorite author.


South Carolina
- The fans are passionate, Sir Big Spur and the cockaboose are awesome, and Ole Ball Coach is walking history and damn good coach.

Tennessee - Love my school.

Texas A&M - I love that you have your own wacky traditions for damn near everything even if I don't understand them all. I do wish I didn't need a specialized glossary for A&M-speak tho.

Vanderbilt - Nashville is awesome. Franklin did you dirty in more ways than one and deserves to shot in the testicles for it.

Truth. I read "he was good to married players" and I spot up my drink.

One thing that I see that keeps popping up...

Ole Miss's tailgating experience.

Is it true that you can't have grills in the Grove? How do you work that out?

You shouldn't make fun of Saban like that. He's a snazzy dresser and tries his best to be a gentleman. He's also the best active coach right now.

The high society cocktail party in the Grove is very pretty. All those red pants & matching bow ties the frats wear add a lot of color, too.
