I guess the old saying about Tennessee posters is true

If it were not for grown arse men barking at me I would rank a trip to Athens at or near the top

I like Athens but the barking shite is ridiculous

I still want to make it to Fayeteville, Knox, and Lexington.

Try in the spring or the early fall when the leaves start to turn. I love Fayetteville but it can be pretty dreary once late fall/winter sets in.

Oddly enough I've always thought of Fayetteville as a much nicer place to live then it is to visit.

Fayetteville on gameday is the worst Fayetteville, IMO.

Ok, 2nd worst. Worst Fayetteville is during the bike rally.

I disagree. The A&M trip we took in 2015 is one of my favorite road trips ever.

I also love going to games at Tennessee and having a beer at Calhoun's on the river. The Vol Navy is one of the cooler things in the SEC.

Nashville is always fun.

Athens is a given (though their fans are the biggest pricks in the SEC)

This is why I wish Auburn was in the SEC East.

and USC...only because USC doesn't really have much of a campus. 


Have you even stepped foot on our campus? Williams Brice stadium isn't even on campus so you can't count that. Our campus is similar to LSU with live oaks, fields, and integrated into a capital city.

Did I not state that I've been to every campus? Yes, I did.

Except LSU's campus is 2,000+ acres, while USce's is 359 acres.

I've said it before, and it's not so much of a knock as a fact of life. It's difficult for a visiting fan to know where your campus begins and ends in spots.

All I'm gonna say on the subject.

I enjoyed Oxford, Athens and Fayetteville.

Always have fun in Auburn too.

Of the ones I've already been to?

Probably Auburn..
Bama's ok too.

I don't plan on going back to Starkville. In 2013 in Davis-Wade I made the mistake of INVOLUNTARILY twitching my head to a sudden clang right BEHIND MY HEAD. That innocent turn evidently was an insult to all the tobacco-drooling Jethros behind me, though I never said anything or made eye contact at all.

Looking forward to visiting: Ole Miss and Knoxville - this year hopefully..

Knoxville for me, and Vandy is good but not sure if they should get credit for Nashville in general.

Everytime I have gone to Tuscaloosa, game or otherwise it has been overcast, cold, and rainy. Also full of tide fans. Maybe if I could visit when those conditions were better I would enjoy it more.

LSU: pretty good, fans are less confontational now vs back when they first started playing football there back in the early aughts

UF: I enjoyed visiting the business park where the stadium is located and would love to go back and see the actual campus sometime

Oxford: they think they fancy

State: they are not fancy. Always had fun though! Bulldog Bash or whatever is was called on the square was a good time.

Not me. I prefer Knoxville, Auburn and Baton Rouge. Lexington and Nashville are great spots for different reasons. Hope to make Oxford one day but the others are between meh and really suck.

Ole Miss, since Freeze has been there, it's been the most beautiful campus in all of the world. I hate to see what's gonna happen to it. Hopefully nothing.
