Alabama obviously.


In all seriousness, probably South Carolina. Their support compared to success is impressive. Also, I’ve always found their base to be classy.

Only had interactions with 3 SEC fan bases.

LSU fans #1 because I spent a good chunk of my 20’s in BR and loved the people down there, still have many friends in LA and they’re all hardcore LSU. Great folks.

A very close 2nd is Alabama fans. They were the best visitors I’ve ever hung out with and they could be over the top assholes because they are living through the biggest dynasty in CFB, but they seem to be handling the absolute dominance with class and that says a lot about them.

Visiting Tennessee fans were nice folks, didn’t interact a whole lot.

SC and Auburn fans on here seem to be good, level-headed people overall. Man I can’t waIt for some road games

Well, there is only one school in a power five conference. What i dislike about them is the amount of fans they have with no affiliation to the school (among many others dislikes). Carolina is the correct answer. Their level of support doesn't seem to go down when they suck.

SCAR. Classiest visiting fans I've been around. That includes all of the old Big 12 as well.

South Carolina fans. They have such rabid fandom for so little history.

Plus they were the best visitor fan base I’ve ever encountered in college.
They are great hosts as well.

I got nothing but respect for Gamecock fans

South Carolina fans act like heathens when they come here. I can't imagine what it's like when Clemson is in town. I don't know why they do but I'm certain fellow UK fans will echo this.

Classiest visiting fan base I've dealt with is Missouri. Their fans are always nice, well behaved, courteous. They're welcome in Lexington any time.

USCe fans. Next are UK and Bama fans.

Georgia fans could be great as well except they just get way too drunk on game day. Same for LSU fans but at least they know how to cook and don't shite themselves at the stadium.

Auburn fans cry too much. See Ole Miss and State. They're the same except they cry about each other too much. A&M fans seem to be good people but have the worst little brother syndrome ever. Their gay reputation is mostly earned.

Florida away fans are really good. Their home fans are the same as Arkansas fans. See Tennessee fans for same.

Mizzou and Vandy don't really have any fans.

South Carolina and Arkansas are easy answers, but I’ll give a mention to Kentucky football fans. The real ones who didn’t just start watching the last three years.

I feel like I can relate, because being a Kentucky football fan historically has to be very similar to being a Georgia basketball fan.

Unpopular opinion here probably, but I really enjoyed the LSU fans ive interacted with at The BOX. Ive never been to a football game in BR, but i enjoyed the baseball fans. and the LSU fans i know are good folks who love football. Ive personally never ran across bad LSU fans.

Auburn and mizzou are the worst.

Florida fans were awful at the SECCG, but thats been my only interaction.

UGA fans were some of the nicest, classiest, knowledgeable fans ive been around.

Excluding people on this site, I’ve had good experiences with Auburn fans, Florida fans, and UGA fans. I grew up around a lot of Auburn fans, so I’m partial to them. Florida fans through the years have been similar in my eyes to LSU fans, and it’s a pretty fun rivalry in my opinion. UGA fans don’t pop up in my circle often, but they are usually very approachable people. On this site, I can’t stand anyone regardless of affiliation.

True LSU fans are some of the best fans in the country imo.

We're assholes to Clemson fans. I'll be the first to admit that. I get the same treatment from their fans in Clemson whenever I visit though. Just how the rivalry is.

That's probably because they think that they can win. Any fan base is more tolerable and polite when they go into the stadium thinking that they'll definitely lose lol

For me, it has to be LSU…in Misssissippi, if you ask locals who their favorite teams are, it will go like this: Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and then USM, LSU, and Alabama all have about the same number of supporters…brother, in Louisiana, you don’t even have to ask the question.


You must not be familiar with all the Louisiana invaders plaguing South Mississippi, almost none of whom have even stepped foot on LSU's campus.

They didn't care about LSU football before 2001 and suddenly stopped caring in 2020.

I have no respect for them.
