I'd say LSU because they're my favorite team to hate. The biggest reason being I can be my true alcoholic self because God knows every other Cajun is

I was accepted and on my way Georgia, until I got an offer for a scholarship at Bama; that certainly changed things. So, off to Tuscaloosa I went.

Ole Miss and LSU are alot alike besides sports program




In what ways??? Ole Miss and LSU couldn't be any more different. Baton Rouge is a large metropolitan city while Oxford is a small college town. LSU's campus is a lot larger than Ole Miss'

The people at both schools are very different as well.

Now that you put it this way, maybe not. I am probably the wrong person to ask this question but I know alot of people from Baton Rouge that went to Ole Miss.

I would say Bama and Ole Miss are most similar. Both have very beautiful old south campuses and are both very greek. A LOT of old money at both schools.

Kentucky. my dad was a huge big blue fan and hailed from there. however, LSU was it and i never seriously considered going anywhere else. no offense intended because there are a lot of great SEC schools but for me, LSU was and is the greatest and i wouldn't trade my time there for anything.

Graduated from Arkansas.

I wasn't really interested in any SEC schools. I did get accepted to OU and UTx.



If I had to do it over again now and needed to look at an SEC school, maybe LSU or Georgia. Maybe Florida. Strangely, I've always secretly liked A&M as a school.

Not a flame, but Ole Miss just seems too small and way too "organized" to be all that much fun to me. If you definitely want to go greek, then it probably is great. But a small town and smaller school like that would have felt stifling to me back in the day. I get claustrophobic thinking about it.

If not LSU, definitely UGA.

I could also see myself at Vandy with all the nerds.

It seems that way to me too. Bama was far too, as you said it, "organized" for me. Way too much emphasis on all that greek stuff for me. I came from the north where the greeek thing isn't that big of a deal, there was certainly a lot of culture shock for me, when it came to that. Actually UA seems a little less greek oriented these days, I could be off on that though. Honestly UGA would have fit my personality better. I loved my time at Bama and wouldn't trade it for anything, it just wouldn't have been my choice without the money the school offered up.

I graduated from LSU. I almost went to Auburn since my dad and grandfather are/were both alums. My wife has a degree from Vandy and definitely would have enjoyed that. Nashville is awesome.

Graduated from Auburn in December, and I may end up at UGA for grad school. Athens is a pretty cool town.
