We could get hepatitis from yalls spit, that's very serious.
When I visited UGA in 2013 someone spit at us. What they didnt see is the big 300lb ex LSU lineman friend of ours coming out of the restroom, that went over well

Dude, every school does that now. Frankly, I don't like it but it is what it is.
Maybe I'm usually too drunk but I havne't seen it done to the degree Auburn does, what I mean is the effort to do everythign possible to keep as few grouping of visitors together as they can.
At UGA for instance, we have the small sliver in the lower corner (roughly sections 101-103ish), but then the entirety of the 600 upper deck is visitors. At AU I noticed VERY few areas of UGA fans together. It'd be a small sliver here, a small one there, all over hte place. Even in the upper decks it seemed like they woudl only have a few pockets at a time dispersed all over.
Again maybe everyone does this and I've just never paid that much attention, but in all my many years of attending away games I haven't really seen it done that extremely before.

LSU is great once you get through the initial layer of hostility. You'll probably get told to go frick yourself, some 7 year old will threaten to kill your wife, someone may set your car on fire, but then you'll get to someone's tailgate and they'll feed you and get you drunk.

I once got the "double barrel bird flip" from a 10 year old in Tiger Stadium. Some people find such things tragic. I find it to be an amusing validation of stereotype. And since I don't live there, I don't have to worry about that kid robbing me in 8 years.

I don't know which was worse: Losing to Troy or then doing the research and realizing that Troy had more talent and should have won
Troy is one of those odd Sun Belt teams where most years you'll have a huge talent advantage so teams tend to schedule them. But every now and then they'll have a team loaded with SEC talent and God help you if you have them on your schedule.
Then, to add insult to injury, after they beat you they'll turn around and lose to a bottom dweller Sun Belt team that will finish the season with just 4 wins or something.
The only stadium I've been to where I felt unsafe was Neyland. I was in town with a buddy and he got us what he called "great tickets". We were so far up in the nosebleed section we had to hope for a break in the clouds to see the field. I left in the third quarter because I didn't want to risk my life going down those steps with everyone else at the end of the game.

Auburn's are grouped together. The seats are almost identical for vistors at both stadiums,
I think you are confusing that UGA fans spread out in the stadium because they get tickets from outside the allotted visitor sections

No, in fact I've had a blast at every away game I've been to. Part of that is having the right attitude going into the game. I know I'm going to get a hard time as I walk on campus with my Georgia shirt on, but I enjoy that and usually end up making some new friends. The best is always at LSU. My wife is an LSU Grad and she is always amazed at how we are greeted in Baton Rouge. We arrived for the 2003 game with UGA flags on the car, parked by the fraternities and were immediately greeted by 3 FULL MOONS followed by some birds shot in our direction. My wife was shocked, but the rest of us enjoyed the welcoming committee. Sitting in the endzone(UGA) that day I sat next to some LSU fans who gave me shite for the first quarter, then over time warmed up to us and started sharing their Bourbon with us. In 2008, I sat in Wally Pontiff's seats in a big LSU section and the fans up there could not have been nicer. I never miss an LSU/UGA game in BR and am looking forward to going again this year. Wish we played LSU more!

Clemson is one of the lamest away experiences I've had, but not because they were hostile.
A lot of it isn't really their fault (we lost, we had a shitty hotel, etc.). But other than our Clemson friends, a lot of the people were just weird. I've been to most SEC schools and figured Clemson would be similar, but everyone seemed like a socially awkward version of SEC fans.
Maybe it was just a weird weekend, who knows.

They are weird. The way Tillman acts on here is pretty typical of most of their fanbase. Not just saying that bc I'm a Gamecock, it's just a fact. Just a very, very strange bunch of ppl. We keep hoping NC will take that section of SC from us but I doubt they want them, either.

I've never had an issue anywhere I've gone.
Then again I'm pretty quiet during games, tailgate mostly with other fans as well as a number of HS friends have went to SEC schools. And if not my friends, friends of friends.

i've told the story before on here, but it's been a while.
was at a huge tailgate in columbia for that game of mixed company usc and uga fans. mostly fraternity/sorority people as i was a student at the time. watched the game at the tailgate with hundreds of people, mostly USC fans obviously.
when usc scored first, every uga fan literally got just every drink possible dumped on them for 5 consecutive minutes. sprayed, dumped, thrown at, everything. it was miserable. soooo, i got the uga troops all riled up and ready to go. "fill your drinks, get a full beer, etc... we are about to drive down and score and get some revenge!" took us about 3 hours to get that "revenge" and for some reason by that point the desire to attack had subsided.
the walk back to where we were staying was equally awful. that definitely felt like one of the biggest arse kickings of all time and i dont blame the cocks for reveling in it. horrible weekend, but that's life.

I assume this was the 35-7 game at night?

I wonder how much different that game would've turned out of Rambo hangs on to that interception on the first play.

Ask an Ole Miss fan to share his fictitious cowbell assault story.
I've seen it happen. Not an OM/MSU altercation. It was the MSU/LSU game in '07. Saw a cowbell fly from the stands above me and crack a fan in the head several rows in front of me. It may have been maroon on maroon violence? Cant remember, but the saw the guy walking up the stands right after with a good bit of blood running down his face.

Interception the next drive.
The stadium was the loudest I've ever heard it that night.
An early INT wasn't going to quiet them.

It's a fun hypothetical with no real answer and no way to prove anything, but I think you're selling that short. You have the memory of waht actually DID happen (a thorough whooping from start to finish and the crowd taht went along with it). If we intercept the first pass of the game and take momentum right off the bat who knows what would happen.
With as sorry as our defnese played we probably still would've gotten whooped, I just think it would have completely changed the dynamic.
