Easily the most cordial and welcoming SEC fans I've met at a game. The game was a disaster but the pre and post game festivities were a blast. The Grove is as advertised...can't imagine what it would have been like for a 3:30 or 7pm kick. 40 dollar cover for a college bar is a little high but the scenery was worth it.

Wish it wasn't 12 years until we had to come back and I wish our team had put up a slightly more competitive effort.

Good game

Had a pleasant experience for the AGGIE game in Oxford a few years ago as well.

Found a super sweet tailgaiting spot in the grove, chairs included. My girlfriend even scored a super nice Patagonia sweatshirt, too bad it was too large.

Yeah, the Library is normally only a $10 cover but they make sure to take advantage of the big game weekends. I think it has been $60 before when Texas played in Oxford. Hopefully you were able to make it to the Square for dinner or got breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast. Do wish we played y'all more often as the UGA fans are normally pretty classy and Athens is a great college town to visit.

Ole Miss and UGA not having a game each year is a travesty. Two of the most similar schools, towns and fanbases in the SEC.

What the hell, a $40 cover to a college bar.

You better have gotten some tail from that

Looks like I might be making a visit to Oxford soon...

And A&M as well, when they visited last week I had an absolute blast with their fan base. Good, good people.

Is that the bar with the mechanical bull? I was told it was a $100 cover for the Texas game.
