I'd like to attend a game and tailgate at each SEC stadium

Yeah, a friend of mine and I were almost there, until Oklahoma and Texas joined.

We've been tailgating at Alabama for years, and meet random out-of-state people almost every gameday. A lot aren't even fans of the visiting team, they just wanted to come to a game.

At some point I'd like to do the same and expand to novelty games myself, like Army/Navy, Penn State white out, etc.

Jackson, Memphis, Pine Bluff, Albany, GA.

Go there after 11PM for the full hospitality.

I've been to a Penn State whiteout, and it was the most impressive fan experience, perhaps the best new tradition in college sports.

My brother says Kyle Field is better than Ohio Stadium. I do not know if he says that to rile me or if he believes that.

The night games at Kyle look cool, but I don't think I'd enjoy a day game.

Not to talk shite, but as much as I love CFB, I've never had the desire to see a game at the Shoe. I've heard stories from Ohio State and Michigan fans about their games and it seems like a NFL game when you have drunken retards with no association with the team starting fights just because some guy is wearing the wrong color in the wrong section. I've already witnessed that at a Red Sox/Yankees game so I don't really see what I'm missing by not seeing it in Columbus or Ann Arbor.

A White Out Game would be cool, and I kinda want to see a Michigan State/Michigan game at East Lansing. Nothing else in the B1G really comes across my mind as an experience I want to make an effort worth seeing.

Belle Glade is sometimes referred to as "Muck City" due to the large quantity of muck found in the area.

During the early-to-mid 1980s, the city had the highest rate of AIDS infection in the United States, and in 2003 had the second-highest violent crime rate in the country.

I'm no fan of the drinking and fighting myself. It is a waste of time and energy. It is time to leave when that stuff starts.

I enjoy Ohio Stadium, but each fan has their own experience.

Why East Lansing? Not knocking it just curious.

I was deployed with a Michigan State alum, he's came down here and went to a UGA game with me, so I owe him one. I figured I'd get the best game day expierance East Lansing can offer when they are hosting Michigan.

I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

So question for ya since we are on the topic: I know the Ohio State/Michigan rivalry is sorta kinda based on the Toledo War, does Michigan State get a pass with Ohio State on that?

I think so. I don't recall it being mentioned. It is hard to believe anyone fought over Toledo.

We set up chaise longes at the water’s edge looking back at the boardwalk.

My uncle said he went to a beach in Florida, and while sitting there, noticed there was nothing but dudes. He got up and left.

Pipe down Nancy. All Americans are Yanks, ask any foreigner, haha. I'm a Yankees fan that was born in Jeff Davis Memorial Hospital in ole Houston town. Whatcha gonna do boy when I blast some Johnny Horton out my car cruising around town? haha.
