Your honest first impressions of SEC fans from road trip game experiences

Since Mizzou has been in the SEC, my brother and I have been to three away games: South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt. However, we've been to Faurot Field South (otherwise known as College Station) when Mizzou was in the Big 12, so technically we've done four SEC away games.
Here are my honest first impressions of SEC fans of teams we visited during "away games":
South Carolina
First...it was hot as frick in Columbia, SC. Not the good hot either. People were sweaty and more than a few smelled bad. But I will allow it because it was so damn hot.
Back on topic. South Carolina fans really didn't desire pre-game interactions with Mizzou fans. They sort of kept to themselves and ignored Mizzou fans. We got the impression they viewed Mizzou as a sure win, and unfortunately for Mizzou fans they stomped us in 2012 so you can't really blame them.
The unwelcoming cold shoulder attitude most Mizzou fans experienced outside Williams-Brice was nowhere near as bad as the outright disdain, rude, and obnoxious behavior Mizzou fans experienced inside the stadium. SC fans yelled obscenities at Mizzou fans throughout the entire game. People were screaming about how Mizzou did not belong. We witnessed drinks thrown at Mizzou fans. And this all happened in a game SC dominated! There was zero reason for their behavior.
SC was easily the most rude, obnoxious, self entitled fan base we've ever encountered...which makes what Mizzou accomplished in 2013 and 2014 incredibly satisfying.
Side note: FWIW, I like the SC fans who post here. The Cockaboose was a cool thing to see. They could do so much more with the Cockaboose, like make it an actual attraction which occasionally circles the stadium.
SC women were mostly trashy. Of course a few here and there were cute, but most had foul mouths and acted as trashy as possible. I cannot count how many times SC white girls spoke in a ghetto accent. Nothing is less attractive than someone speaking in a fake ghetto girl accent. Plus, they smoked a LOT. Ghetto chainsmoking white girls. BARF! We did not expect this. SC is in the south and we were led to believe all southern women are sundress wearing belles. WRONG.
Tennessee
Very polite fan base. Vol Navy is one of the best pre-game traditions there is. Personally, the cool factor of Vol Navy FAR exceeds the overrated Auburn eagle. I mean, it's just a fricking bird, people! Not like it's a dinosaur brought back from extinction. LOL
Back on topic. Tennessee fans were gracious and genuinely desired communication with Mizzou fans. In fact, TN fans freely invited Mizzou fans to join their tailgating festivities and engaged in normal discussion. Of course they sprinkled their discussions with sleight passive aggressive jabs such as, "I'm not sure you Mizzou fans realize what you've gotten yourselves into regarding this game. Not sure it'll be close, but here's to a good game!"
The Rock was pretty neat. Someone had spray painted a giant portrait of Dobbs (with eyebrows) on the rock. When my bro and I pointed out that Dobbs doesn't have eyebrows, a few really cute and very drunk TN sorostitutes proclaimed, "Josh Dobbs has an eyebrow disease. He can't grow eyebrows....because he has an eyebrow disease!" That didn't really explain why the painting included his eyebrows, but the girls were cute and they took a picture with us before running down the boulevard toward the Satanic "Torchbearer" statue.
Inside the stadium people were completely different. Most of the TN fans inside the stadium were more overweight than average Americans which made seating a very intimate experience. They also did not like when Mizzou fans celebrated a big play or touchdown. But fortunately they spoke their displeasure with their eyes rather than their mouths.
TN student section showed their true colors near the end of the game when they started throwing bottles at the Mizzou bench for a perceived bad call by the officials (as if Mizzou had anything to do with that). One bottle hit a Mizzou player in the head. That player turned around, stormed the sideline, and attempted to climb into the stands to unleash hell on the bratty TN student section before being stopped by security.
When the final seconds ticked away resulting in a Mizzou victory, thousands of Mizzou fans stormed the sideline at midfield to briefly celebrate with the team. After Pinkel concluded post game interviews, he ran over to the Mizzou fans while pumping his fists. He yelled, "Tonight was for you...the fans!" And he led the Mizzou faithful in a long and very loud MIZ...ZOU chant as overweight and sad TN fans struggled to leave their stadium.
All in all Knoxville was a very cool experience. Most TN fans were good people (especially Frat Santa). I'd recommend the trip to anyone.
Women were just okay. Some were cute, but most were just annoying as frick. Most were chubby trying to fit into dresses 2 sizes too small. They wouldn't stop singing that damn Rocky Top song. I mean, they would sing it like every five minutes! The incredible annoyance of their constant singing of a backwooded song made them less attactive.
Vanderbilt
I quickly discovered you go to a Vandy game to experience Nashville rather than the actual game. Vandy fans clearly don't care about football. They're working hard to become leaders of the free world, which is admirable.
The few Vandy fans who actually showed up to the game were nice enough. They engaged in thoughtful conversations, none of which were about football or the game. They asked us where we were from, what there is to do in Missouri, and gave us advice about bars and restaurants to visit while in Nashville. Not once did they engage in football discussion. And to be honest...it was refreshing.
It's as if they had brains and desired thoughtful conversation over meaning smack talk. A few took notes about day trips to Missouri lakes and rivers to float. A few were actually from Missouri and spoke about their educational focus. At halftime Vandy chose to acknowledge the brightest bulbs in a midfield ceremony. Parents of the "brightest of the brightest" were formally dressed. Mothers and fathers were crying with pride at their sons and daughters high scholastic achievements. Hell, the entire stadium (both Mizzou and Vandy fans) celebrated these intelligent kids and their promising futures in law, medicine, engineering, etc.
Mizzou lost that game and it sucked. But, Vandy reminded everyone what college is truly about...and that softened the heartache of the game's outcome.
Very pretty girls. Their intelligence and good looks make them stand tall above the rest. Vandy women are wife material.
Texas A&M
Raucous crowd. Cult-like atmosphere. Everything any fan base would envy. Except they are as gay as the shite they receive! There may have been 80 women in a student section of thousands. No lie, we saw dudes kissing at one point on the jumbo tron. They clearly never got Bill Clinton's "Don't ask, don't tell" memo, which is extremely strange considering A&M is a famed military school.
Not that there's anything wrong with heauxmeauxsexuality. I believe there should be more gayness in college. It's good for the sport. Hell, it's no surprise people refer to College Station as Faurot Field South. Mizzou has owned A&M in College Station, but Mizzou is also pretty gay (Michael Sam).
But A&M takes gayness to the extreme. It's just a different world in College Station.
If you can stand the male-on-male grunting, milk men, and overly sexualized bizarre traditions...you'll have a great time! A&M fans were at least very respectful and fun.
Just remember to wear a chastity belt for protection.

When I got to Knoxville, I couldn't wait for the tailgating. My enthusiasm was curbed when I noticed the abundance of funnels, tubing, and astroglide.

How long did this diatribe take you to construct?

Georgia was by far the worst fan base experience I've had to date, and that was very surprising. 2008 Blackout game
LSU fans were the most pleasant surprise. Very enjoyable experiences in Baton Rouge every time I've gone. Other than the tiger baiting, the people have been very hospitable and gracious.
Florida fans are obnoxious and trailer-parky. Very bandwagonish feel to it.
Arkansas is my favorite road trip. The people are great, and Fayetteville is a surprisingly cool little place.
Mississippi State and Ole Miss fan bases are exactly the same, except one of them has an unearned sense of self worth and likes to play dress up to make themselves feel better about being Ole Miss fans and living in Mississippi.
Auburn sucks.

This going to rustle jimmies but it's true and based on first hand interaction
Mizzou - well behaved and polite
Ole miss - well behaved and polite
Miss state - well behaved and polite
Florida - well behaved and polite
Arkansas - well behaved and polite
LSU - loud, foul language, one tried to start a fight just because I had an A&M shirt on (no one offered me gumbo or bourbon either)

I went to Oxford a few years back with a friend. While walking through the grove, a noose was thrown at my feet and little kids came up to my face waving little confederate flags.
Im bullshitting..but I will be in Athens for the GT- UGA game. It will be my first time in Athens, and I hope it's as awesome as yall say it is.

I cringe every time UT plays on national TV. It's embarrassing as an SEC fan to hear that shite over and over.

Been to all the West schools except A&M and I really enjoyed every trip. LSU fans are the loudest but it's typically good natured. Been there at least a dozen times and the worst thing I've ever experienced was the same weirdo repeatedly Yelling black bears, black bears like a broken record every time a Reb walked by. Auburn has been the most pleasant experience. Bama and State fans were more annoying in Oxford than they were at home. LSU fans, from my experience, generally have a good time in Oxford and we generally enjoy having them.

I'm old and some of these impressions are from long ago:
South Carolina 199? - partying in a giant gravel lot wasn't too fun, hot as hell..lots of dick references on their fan gear
Auburn 2000 - best fans I've ever been around until after the game. Good folks overall. Nice tailgating scene..bad traffic.
Ga Tech damn near every other years since the 90s - frick them, Rudest most violent people on earth. I'm always prepared to end up in jail when we play there.
Kentucky 2002 - obnoxious for two quarters, absent shortly after half time.
Clemson several times - auburn with a lake

Florida fans at the swamp were a class act. Even with my uga hat on.
Florida fans in Jax at the cocktail party can go frick themselves. Completely different atmosphere.
