As far as tailgating goes, I'd say Ole Miss. But the as far as game environment goes, Bama and Auburn kick our arse.

We were going on no sleep and alcohol as dinner, breakfast and supplement.

T Rey was kind enough to invite us and he's a hell of a cook. You should stop by his tailgate if he likes Auburn fans enough to invite ya over.

Good times

T Rey is good peoples. Plus, he's already invited me if I'm in Tuscaloosa this year. Also, I'm a chick, my team allegiance doesn't matter

Ball, the LSU game was the biggest crowd yet. Topped out at about 400. When Auburn is in town we usually have 300 to 350 and 40 to 50 of those are Auburn fans.

I've been to Ole Miss, going back there and Alabama as well next year. I had a blast at Ole Miss tailgating, it was very different from the wide open atmosphere on the A&M campus that I was used to but it was still a great time.

From my friends who went to LSU, Bama and Ole Miss, I'm definitely going to try to make our first UGA away game and get to Auburn and Fayetteville as well .

Ah, you're female... team allegiance certainly doesn't matter in that case.

Frankly, T Rey was such a nice guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he had hordes of the enemy at his tailgate. They're a good group of Bama fans.


I look forward to hosting our SEC bretheren in CS. Like Shane said, our set up is more like LSU and Bama than Ole Miss... spread way out all over campus.

I've also been to Baton Rouge and will for sure be going there as well when we play LSU away. There's so many LSU people in Houston I kind of forget we're just now going to be in the same conference.

Of course everyone thinks their place would be the best road trip for you, it is the nature of being a fan.
As a non biased third party in this (since you left MSU off of your list for some reason) I would list the trips as: 1) AU 2) Ole Miss 3) Bama
I've been to every SEC stadium for a game and can give you only one piece of advice.
MAKE SURE YOU STAY IN THE COLLEGE TOWN. If you actually stay in town you will have a good time wherever you go. The problem in most SEC towns is that it is hard to get a room on a game weekend and lots of people end up staying 30-45 minutes away. At least for the Ole Miss trip you could stay at the casino in Tunica if you didn't have a place in Oxford.

I'm definitely going to make the trip to College Station when we play y'all there. I've never been to Texas and I'm pretty excited

I know. I was extremely pissed at the time, but now I like the way it worked out.

Alabama has a great game day atmosphere, but it is filled with bama fans so it sucks.

Seriously, all three have a fairly unique experience and you couldn't go wrong picking one out of a hat. I've had fun in Oxford and Tuscaloosa.

Sadly, each year we will have to boot one or two people out of the group for being assholes. This past season both of the ones that were sent packing were the LSU weekend. One of those has been trying to get invited back but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

well if it's pageantry then Ole Miss really puts out a nice spread for a gameday

The Alabama schools are more similar than they're not

both schools big time stadiums filled with insane fans

if you're looking for a solid stadium than you have to pick between Alabama and Auburn but if this is more of a weekend experience I would go with the Grove and Ole Miss

the aTm group used it as base camp. So yes, they crossed and enjoyed the Quad atmosphere several times during the long day/nite.


In true Ag fashion, probably getting drunker and drunker with each lap

I'm going to T-Town and Auburn this year.

If you enjoy a quaint college town with great pageantry and tradition then Auburn is your choice.

If you enjoy a sloppy drunk time with Harvey Updyke in the middle of a messy city then your choice is Alabama

ETA: But seriously both are great.

T Rey, you missed my Katt Williams Stand Up Dance across the Street from you... I blamed the empty bottle of Makers.

That was a horrible drive back to Houston the next day.
