Worst Experiences as a Visiting Fan

1. Clemson - Self Explanatory. If you aren't wearing orange overalls and don't have Dabo as your screensaver on your phone, then you aren't allowed in "God's Country" as they call it. Their fans consider themselves equal to the traditional powers of College Football and always treat SC fans like shite when we play in Clemson. It's a rivalry though so it's to be expected and our fans reciprocate when they play in Columbia.
2. UCF - A large portion of this fanbase seemed like they were of the guido contingent from New Jersey. Extremely confrontational before, during, and after the game. Very trashy group of people.
3. Georgia - A lot of UGA alumni are awesome. For the most part, a fun fanbase to be around. A lot of their sidewalk fans ruin the experience for visiting fans though. Grown men barking and yelling GO DAWWWWGS can be extremely unpleasant.

lol
It's always funny to me when threads abotu mistreatment or awful experiences boil down to "and people were actually barking! OMG!!"
Buddy if someone barking and yelling "go dawgs" is the worst treatment you've received at an away game consider your life charmin soft and being lived on easy mode

For me it’s West Virginia. Those folks are vile and not at all welcoming

Miss St. not even close. A morning game when Prescott was there. Plenty of rude and obnoxious fans. 3 St men talking shite to my wife at the end of our row when she was heading down to concessions. We were on 40 yd line about 30 rows up among season ticket holders. You would think they could show a little clsss.
Nope

The only time I felt truly unsafe at a game was in War Memorial in Little Rock.
Tim Couch was still the Cats QB. Game was tight and he overshot a receiver in the endzone. The hawgs held on for the win.
As the blue and white faithful began exiting the stadium, the Arkansas trash began throwing bottles and other trash into the UK crowd.
It was pretty surreal.

I’ve never had an overall bad experience as a visiting fan and I’ve been to almost every SEC venue. I’ve had a few run-ins with obnoxious assholes, but every fanbase has those.
The most tense situation I’ve experienced was after Alabama’s first win in Jordan-Hare in 1999. There were some Bama fans wanting to roll Toomer’s Corner and a whole bunch more Auburn fans not wanting them to. It never felt unsafe though and cooler heads eventually prevailed.

Notre Dame
I’ve had unfortunate experiences at other games (e.g., UTex, Colorado, Baylor); but they’re distant seconds.
ND = the most overrated and disappointing trip ever—and I’ve traveled to a decent number of games. It’s doubtful any future away game will ever touch ND (fans, stadium, environment, etc.) in terms of shittiness.

So, your two biggest rivals and the school supported by the most obnoxious poster on here? Shocker.

I've been to the majority of SEC stadiums as an SEC fan and honestly haven't gotten anything too bad at all compared to visiting NFL stadiums.
I'm never going to an NFL stadium again in away team clothes. Just brutal and relentless. Surprisingly Carolina was the worst followed by Baltimore.

The only place I won't go in the SEC is Baton Rouge. What you experience there is seen nowhere else. Only place that feels "unsafe"
Ohio St fans are shite. They rival LSU
A&M fans are the best. Went out there in 2013 and had a great time.
UT fans, when they are winning are pretty bad.

I haven’t been to LSU, but based on how I’ve seen their visiting fans treating home fans- I’d have to assume that trip wouldn’t be a great experience. And Louisiana seems like a shite hole. That’s saying a lot coming from someone from Columbia (man I hate that it’s this way… but it is what it is…).

I expect to come across a few unruly fans when traveling to away games so I've never been truly shocked by bad behavior. While not a true road game, the Ohio State and Penn State fans we came across during bowl games were the worst of the worst.

Trust me on this. It’s Florida. Florida is rough especially when they’re good.

UCF. Their fans don’t know shite about football, and for some reason theyre all puffed up like they won something. Their stadium ( high school sized) is silver aluminum bleachers, gives you an awesome sunburn by halftime. The visitor section is placed in front of the lone stadium loudspeaker platform which without ear protection you will lose some hearing capacity. Its a commuter school.

Have to be fsu...went to the 07 game and unfortunately that was pretty much a home game for them. Their fans had been drinking most of the day and it didn't bring out the best in them.
I've been to a Clemson game and they weren't that bad.
Auburn wasn't bad either tbh.

Lol…y’all ain’t seen nothing yet. While individual games or instances stick out in your minds, you won’t consistently see anything in the south or SEC as bad as UT Austin. From overheating visiting team locker rooms…putting the opposing bands and fans so far away they might as well be on the other side of IH 35…to punk arse kids picking fights with grandparents…to the homeless druggies accosting and threatening everyone, breaking into everyone’s cars, and the fact the Austin police, by order of their liberal woke city, will not protect you or interfere unless you get killed, rest assured your Austin game day experience will suck. Lol

Going to Georgia Tech is the worst possible experience you can endure from a fanbase. I don't want this to sound racist, but you're just surrounded by a bunch of scrawny little foreign engineer students that know absolutely NOTHING about football and just reek with homofied, fagometric vaginosis. They're obnoxious and think they are all just a bunch of geniuses because they attend Tech. I'll never go back to another game their as long as I live.
