Whoever done this obviously hasn't ever been to Tuscaloosa. But I don't blame them. Odds are they would at least be shot at if not shot. It's a trash pile with a stadium in the middle of it.


I'm curious, are you one of the types who likes to claim that Bama fans don't have lives outside of football? Because I think you're objectively the most pitiful poster on this board. I don't really click on the Auburn threads so I'm not sure if there are any comparable Bama posters to you, but pretty much all you do is post about Bama. Just looking at the first page of your history, 18 of your last 20 posts were crying about Bama. Do you feel you're a well-adjusted human being? Or can you at east accept yourself for what you are: Harvey Updyke without balls.

Live in Tuscaloosa and am an Auburn fan, Ttown is not as good of a college town as Auburn, AL. Auburn University IS Auburn

There’s more to being a good college town than people are only there to go to school.

I'll be honest.

As a college town I actually like Clemson. def has a certain feel to it than Columbia does.

Some people do and some people don't.

Both towns though you really don't wanna leave where campus "area" isn't, just my opinion

You seem really upset by this. You sent time in College Station. It must have been painful realizing that you wasted all those years in Columbia. You live and learn. Sorry, you didn't find it sooner.

I can talk trash about the college in Hattiesburg but not the town. It has more than Starkville and Oxford combine. Plus, the location is better. I wouldn't live there, but for MS it is one of the top places to live.

Exactly what college is in Metairie?


There are 2 for-profit universities. A University of Phoenix & a Blue Cliff College location. No traditional state or private non-profit universities. It's a joke.

Tuscaloosa

It's easy to appreciate the success of the football program, but Tuscaloosa is a joke, second only to Starkville as the worst college town in the SEC.

Hattiesburg always rates highly in terms of retirement destinations. Lots of doctors and golf courses per capita.


Best bar and best brewery in the state too. Don’t @ me.

Nasvhille ain't a college town.

It's a city that just so happens to have Vandy in it.

Lol what? It’s a medium sized city that revolves around the university, has a beautiful campus, and tons of brand new shite courtesy of an F4 tornado. The bar scene and layout is second only to Athens with two dozen bars basically on campus. An amphitheater on the river that draws major acts. What exactly are you looking for in a college town that doesn’t rank Tuscaloosa near the top?
