Ehhh, traditionally vols I guess. They hate UGA and Bama.

I appreciate SCAR and UF for their anti-UGA nature.

I like LSU because they loathe Bama and are entertaining.

Maybe you're noticing a trend.

Culturally, it should probably be A&M minus the insane amounts of homo stuff that goes on there. Pro military, ag background, conservative, cult-like, etc. But they've been trying so hard to get Bama to notice them that I just can't root for them anymore.

IRL, Mizzou fans.

I also like most LSU fans IRL, I'm friends with many LSU fans (graduates of LSU), and they're good people. They even cheer for the Hogs when not playing LSU.

I've been very vocal over the years about my bromance with Ole Miss, and LSU fans would be a close third. Crazy bastards. The good ones outweigh the bad ones ... and they love their baseball like we Gamecock fans do, by God 'merica's game.

I find Arky fans pretty entertaining, even after they beat LSU.

And I'm pretty impressed with Auburn fans and how they manage to not lose their minds in this time of Bama success. I know if Bama and LSU were in the same state it would be annoying as frick

Ole Miss for me, too.

States have a good deal in common, and I've never had a bad time in Oxford.

LSU when it comes to baseball. Love the tailgating between Lsu and Msu fans during a baseball series. It's the best!

I like many bama grads who aren't directly tied to the AD (ex student athletes, etc). The reason for this is, in my experience, those tend to have the same hateboner for auburn that sidewalkers do. Guys who just went to bama and love their team are alright.

I like Tennessee fans. Same bravado and "we'll be back next year!!!" IRL that you see here, but genuinely good people to talk sports with and hang out with.

Mississippi State has some awesome fans. They just love their team and school; not much irrational hate just because of a logo. Great "salt of the earth" type people. Not as football savvy as Tennessee or Alabama fans, but still awesome to watch a game with.

I guess I'd rank the 3 MSU > UT > Bama (with my stipulations) as my top 3.

LSU fans are generally terrible.

Pretty much this for me as well, but I live in Missouri, so I'm surrounded by Northern Tigers. FYI, they don't really care about Arkansas

I'm also friends with a few Auburn grads, and they're good people. Every time we hang out, we always end up talking about football.

Ole Miss, or Auburn because of their hate boners for Bama.

Interesting perspective. I live among a lot of Bama/Utk fans. It's been my experience that the Bama fans follow/understand the game and the conference as a while much better than do the Utk folks. I've found the Utk fans to be much more myopic, and to be versed in the Vols only.

Auburn and Alabama fans are both very nice (in person- there's no point in judging based on internet posts). Never had any bad experiences there.

Georgia fans are the most annoying, but Florida fans are probably the worst of all (just being honest). Nowhere near the level of Maryland though. If you want to see an actual terrible fanbase, show up as a visiting fan

Auburn. Actually, I was an NROTC instructor there when they won their Natty. There are a lot of similarities between Auburn and A&M actually.
