Never go to Athens with a weak Auburn football team. I made that mistake in ‘08.

They’re not very friendly up there.

I watched Auburn lose there 10 times it seems. I will never go to Athens again. I dont care if Auburn is guaranteed to win.

Yes sir, they’re not friendly folk up there. It’s like the visitors have to huddle up and stick together. Can’t go out to eat without getting harassed.

We played them in Auburn in 2008.

I was at Lake Martin last weekend and we went to the LSU game and tailgated with loved ones.

It was an amazingly perfect weekend except for the 2nd half of the game.

Not yesterday. Was there in 2001 and saw Auburn win (first Auburn game with my wife of 4 months...she's the alum). Had a great time except for the drunk-arse Georgia girl (I mean like 20) puked in the row right in front of us pre-game and then left.

Was back in 2003 and watched an ugly, ugly loss after getting harassed by Jawja fans walking to the stadium. I'm sure part of it was being in an unfamiliar environment, but I felt unwelcome and unsafe, and we were nothing but courteous to anyone. Swore we'd never go back, and I don't think I've been to Athens for any reason since.

OTOH, the DSOR was my first game at Jordan-Hare in 2002. After the leg humpers beat us in a heartbreaker, I was waiting in line in the packed upper deck restroom for the obligatory post-game pee when some drunk-arse Jawja fan (notice any trends here?) came dancing in yelling "go dawgs, woof woof" or some such non-sense in that dialect that's the only one they can speak on gameday. I thought "oh snap; this dumb dumb is about to get his face kicked through his arse." After 10 seconds or so, he danced back out, and do you know what happened? Nothing. I could hear the urine hitting the toilets. Humility and class any of you lurking Jawja fans, that's what it's about.

Real question is how many returned as Auburn fans.

SEC doesn't require allotments. That's worked out between the schools. I think 8k.

I’m so glad I was shithoused drunk when I left the stadium and didn’t pay much attention to them. If I hadn’t been I would have fought them to the bloody death. Even the scumbag trashy kids

I went in 03 and 2014 and after the Nick Marshall payback game, I vowed to never return. It was honestly the worst experience I’ve had on any campus at any time. I’ve been almost everywhere in the SEC and most all neutral site games since 2010 and it was horrific.

2014 was my only time up there and I haven’t been back since. I think it would’ve been worse for those that went in 2016.
