And I certainly do my part on rowdiness. I set up on the walk and for the eggbowl I had fricking Irish car bombs, not to mention pretty much any kind of liquor and 100+ beers.


We had gumbo and BBQ as well.

For fun people and overall fun, LSU hands down. Want to see a parade of the most beautifull yet dumb girls in the world surrounded by snobs, ole miss. I'd take ole miss but that's because I'm addicted to women bitchy or not.

I Agree..



Words of advise if you do make it the LSU game in BR and happen to win, on the way out to your car "don't talk shidt." As a matter of fact take an LSU shirt or jacket of some kind to wear on the way out.

As someone who has been to all 4... I'd go like this.

1) LSU -- easy #1. Tailgating is fantastic, fans are rowdy and the women are easy. Loudest stadium of the bunch. My knock on LSU is the bar scene. It's spotty and spread out, but find you a place and stay put and the people are fun to drink with.

2) Ole Miss -- went this year. Let me say I enjoyed Oxford a lot but was disappointed with the Grove. I know, I know, the weather, but from 7 am until 1 or so, A&M fans outnumbered Ole Miss fans in the Grove (that shouldn't happen regardless of weather). Bars were fun, people were nice, women were attractive.

3) Arkansas -- Fayetteville is a gorgeous town and Dickson St. is a good time. Arkansas game atmosphere isn't bad, but the tailgating is not very good. Too spread out, and the #s aren't that impressive. I'd still make this trip though due to it being the last time in a while and you'll have a good time going out in Fayetteville.

4) Mizzou -- Columbia is fun to party at, but the Football atmosphere lacks IMO. Tailgating is low key and the stadium just isn't that loud. I will admit, the times I have been here A&M hasn't been very good either so that could affect their attitude/turnout.

Either you're lying or you're blind.


Texas brought 3X as many fans as aTm did.

A&M seems to travel ok. There were more A&M fans at BDS than Grinders last year and for the amount of A&M fans that did make the trip, "they were a little loud." I can imagine what Kyle Field will be like this year.

Minus the smell of bat shidt...

55K in the wind and rain, not bad for a team that had not won a conference game in almost 2 years at that point.


On the other hand, yall are the biggest school in the conference and brought 4-5 k in your first SEC road game. Sorry I just expected yall to bring more.

Probably because we're not dumb enough to get to the grove at 7am for a 6pm game.

Most people show up around noon

Listen, I'm really not flaming here. But this is exactly why I laugh when Ole Miss fans claim they have the best tailgating.

Noon???

When we get to our spot in BR at 6 a.m. for a 12 hour day, imagine all the good food that gets cooked in that time period. Some of it takes 7 or 8 hours.

Wild guess here, but this thread has consisted of LSU fans bitching about how overrated the Grove is.

Weak.

We had to do this for the Cotton Bowl this past weekend - tailgating lots didn't open until noon - and it sucked compared to getting there at 8 or so.

Well yeah the people that are in charge of cooking will get there early. But the majority of regular folks get there at noon.

Tiger Stadium is awesome, even if LSU fans are frickheads (no flame IRL WTF LIGAF BBQ). Definitely a true SEC experience. The Grove is also the real deal, but y'all were already here this past year so if you're only looking to do one thing I'd do LSU.

We'd love to have you in the Grove though. The Aggies I've met over the past year have been surprisingly enjoyable, except for this one sack of shite I met at a Nats game. That guy fricking sucked. The rest of y'all aren't half bad though.
