Moral of this thread:
More of you need to visit COMO. I have been to most SEC stadiums/towns and have enjoyed myself immensely. People have been friendly and the game day atmospheres were good.
Columbia, MO is a great college town. Put on your parkas and join us for a hot chocolate.

I haven't seen the Beaches and Mountains of Louisiana, are they a nice place to spend a vacation ? I have in Alabama.

Thanks, guy. Notice I said night life and bar attractions. Not total population of the surrounding areas and metropolitan cities. Go take a lap.

Campus is great. Town around it is just garbage.

You hate an entire state because you hate a football team from there? Talk about closed minded. Alabama is a pretty decent state actually.

Tuscaloosa's downtown is much improved from when I was going to school at Bama. I love the fine dining and the clubs there. Nice hotels as well. Right next to the Black Warrior, and a brisk walk to campus.

TuscaLousy is awful.
I actually did a study on the city a few years back with my friend Joseph Goodman of AL.com (the top journalist in the state).
I asked 5,000 people what their favorite local restaurant was - and over 4,000 people said “Da HaRdeEs.”
That says it all imho.

Is Tuscaloosa really this bad?
I can buy Auburn over Baton Rouge. Auburn is an adorable college town while Baton Rouge is a depressing crime-ridden shithole most resemblant of Biff’s evil 1985 from Back to the Future.
I beg to differ. Why dwell on the negative? Baton Rouge has had growing pains since Katrina, and its share of crime (mostly in North Baton Rouge), but I believe you're being monumentally simplistic and assuming in your exceedingly narrow-minded assessment.
It sounds like you CONCENTRATE only on the negative. There is so much positive that Baton Rouge has to offer....
Conventions, museums including Old State Capitol, U.S.S. Kidd, downtown business district, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the prosperous Port of Baton Rouge, historic Garden District, beautiful municipal parks, shopping, great restaurants, casinos and nightlife, and events,festivals,fairs, architecture, the Riverfront, historic sites etc. The city is growing to the south and east with new businesses, new technology, homes and economic growth.

Bruh, I live here, don’t try and sell me shite and tell me it’s shinola. Baton Rouge has a few bright spots, but it’s pretty f$&king depressing and has gone downhill RAPIDLY since 2016. That post-Katrina rebound is dead and going the wrong direction at near Zimbabwe speeds.
If one of BR’s worst neighborhoods wasn’t lying between campus and downtown and the garden district, it would be a much nicer place to live. Unfortunately, it’s hard to gentrify that much dangerous real estate when your economy is in the shitter due to complete government malfeasance.

I like living in BR. It’s definitely in the bottom half of SEC cities/towns though. Hoping some new leadership will start to turn things around a bit.

The Fayetteville MSA includes three counties -- Washington, Benton and Madison.
The Athens MSA includes four counties -- Clarke, Madison, Oconee and Oglethorpe.
