Kentucky is actually a nice trip to go at least once. People are friendly for SEC football and the drive is nice. Combine it with other things and it's fun. It's like a Vandy as far as tailgating and fans go.

Favorite: LSU and Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt doesn't have much to do with the school, campus, fans, etc., I just like the bars, restaurants, and music scene in Nashville.

Least Favorite: Starkville, which seems to be a trend in this thread.

As far as things outside the actual football game, Kentucky was my favorite. The bourbon trail is really cool, as are all the horse farms. Really pretty part of the country.


Favorite one for strictly football is LSU. Great food, great folks, and always a good time.

Least favorite is Auburn, but I've never actually stayed in the area. Getting out of there after a game is friggin awful.

UGA. Easily.

Then again that's the one place I've been to Multiple Times.

Love going to Athens, fun town. The Black Out game was the most fun I have ever had at an away game.

Favorite is Alabama. Georiga has more to offer in terms of a scene, but in terms of fun, I have a blast in ttown. Lexington would be my 3rd choice. I love betting on horses so its more for personal reasons.

I missed Athens in 08', which everyone tells me is a blast. Looking forward to going there as an alumnus.

Tuscaloosa has to be up there. Tailgate scene is most similar to LSU, gorgeous campus, fine women, pretty great bars. Great stadium, unrivaled tradition.

2 years ago I got absolutely slammed at what yall call the Parade Grounds. Something about free liquor/beer were too much for me. It was so much fun I decided I needed to go back for more medicine so I'll be in BR this fall.

Glad I'm not from there

I agree fall is much better, but spring is better in a way because there's nothing else to do, so it just seems better I guess.
