I will chime in with my opinion. I have been to all of the SEC road games except for A&M, Mizzu, Arkansas and Kentucky so I won't speak on them at all.

My favorite road trip is easily Athens and this isn't even close. It helps that I have friends around the area and in Atlanta but I love the town and the stadium. UGA has owned us for the better part of a decade which sucks but I still have fun on the trip. If you choose to stay in Athens for a couple nights, the bars are fun and the fans are usually very good to deal with unless you come in as a dickhole.

Least favorite by far was MSU. I hated their stadium and Starkville. We found nothing to do for a couple days there. Granted I went back for the 97 or 98 game which it might have changed a lot since then, most places have.

Most disappointing was LSU. I expected to be wowed by the night life and we ended up leaving the night after the game because we couldn't really find a good bar that we enjoyed the night before. We ended up back in New Orleans for another night instead and had fun on Bourbon St. This might have been a different trip if we knew someone or a few to show us around but there wasn't a series of bars (like a row of them) at the time so you had to know where they were.

Tuscaloosa is nicer now than it was before the tornado, and no it isn't a jab but when they cleaned up, they cleaned up a lot more than the damage. The stadium is nice and the campus is really nice.

Ole Miss is a pretty place to go and the fans seemed pretty nice.

South Carolina was fun. Not a whole lot to say, Columbia is a good sized city so there is a lot to do and the surrounding areas are very pretty.

Wasn't a fan of UT and didn't like the city either. I put it near the bottom of my list.

Vandy was fun but that was mainly due to being in Nashville so you have a ton to do outside the game.

I went to the Swamp as an FSU fan in the 90s and had a blast. While the rivalry was in full swing, Gainsville is a fun town with a ton of hot women.
