not really. "the grove is the best" every time an ole miss fan opens his mouth is more like it.

How's that any different than LSU fans spewing back "OMG IT SO ISNT!!!" every time they see it?

Like some Arkansas poster (yes, it was an Arkansas poster who actually said something that wasn't a retarded flame or a poorly spelled diatribe about the shape of Bobby Petrino's ballsack) said, people like what they like mostly because it's what they're familiar with. The same reasoning can explain why, no matter where a person moves to, they always tend to answer where they grew up as to where they're from (I, for example, grew up in Mississippi but have lived in DC for several years now. I still tell people I'm "from" Mississippi.)

So Ole Miss fans are naturally going to love the Grove and others are naturally gonna hate it. Don't think you've made some fricking grand discovery or announced some paradigm-shifting treatise when you say "ugh the Grove isn't all that great."

Open your eyes, be objective, and see things for what they're worth. I think the tailgating scene is great at LSU. The food is excellent and being blackout and covered in your own vomit isn't frowned upon. It's definitely not my cup of tea, because it's not something that I feel out of place as a part of (hence a lack of familiarity), but I can wholly see why people like and enjoy it and don't waste my time trying to "convince" them of something else.
