FAVORITE:

1. Auburn

We went in 2012 had had a great time. The game was meh, but the Auburn fans we tailgated with were beyond friendly.
I loved the old-school atmosphere of the campus and the stadium. Almost everyone we encountered was welcoming and gracious.


FAIR:
2. Mississippi State

Same group drove to Starkville in 2013. The Student Union was nice, campus was quaint.
Stadium was ok. Game was awesome.

Only ONE thing turned me off:
We were sitting on the State side in the upper deck about halfway up. I didn't realize that some State fans were so GD SENSITIVE.
A group of Bulldog fans sat in the row behind us and proceeded to ring their cowbells. Which is TOTALLY FINE.
However, when a visiting fan DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE that someone is going to clang a bell RIGHT BEHIND HIS GODDAMN ear, and his head subsequently INVOLUNTARILY FLINCHES because he was not expecting this foreign noise RIGHT BEHIND HIS HEAD, I don't think the CLANG-ER- the Miss State fan behind me, should assume that this INVOLUNARY FLINCH was at all an INSULT TO Mississippi State, their team, university, fans, players, coaches, cheerleaders, waterboys, and the Cowbell Tradition itself.

But that's the way he took it. I could not enjoy the game because if my head moved a Septiquazillionth of a centimeter to the right or left, this was taken as an insult and thus, another round of cowbells right behind my right ear lobe, with ABSOLUTELY NO PROVACATION on my part at all.




LEAST FAVORITE/WORST


Same one I went to in 2007 and 2011, and that my friends unfortnately want to go to on November 7.
Unfortunately I cannot wear P&G there, but I can't bring myself to disguise myself in anything red either.
That's all I'm going to say.
I will say that I think I could tailgate with a few of the ones on here - Patton, sheluvs, WhiskyJohn, MelBama, RT.....
