At Ole Miss. People typically talk highly about it. So I supposed to be impressed right? Just checking

I mean, I am pretty sure it’s tailgating in the groves. Not just walking there on a random day. But I have never been there so…

It’s much better when it’s full of tipsy coeds.

It’s an open plot of ten acres. Why did you go not on a game day

I don't think any of those people mentioned to walk around The Grove on a Sunday in July, dumb arse.

If Ole Miss claims its 10 acres, it's probably more like 6 acres.

Just keeping with everything else.

Did you sit in the stadium, too? I'll bet that wasn't very impressive, either.

Walking around a place on any day but Saturday won’t really remind you of the lore you’ve heard about.


There are many similar instances if this.

If it's scenic views you're looking for, no, it's not the best. However, when it comes to ambience, style, etc., Ole Miss is tops.

Having been to, at one time or another, nearly every school in the Power 5 conferences, my top 10 favorite tailgating schools I've enjoyed and experienced, taking in everything from the food, people, ambience -- everything:

#1 -- Ole Miss
#2 -- LSU
#3 -- Washington
#4 -- Tennessee
#5 -- Nebraska
#6 -- South Carolina
#7 -- Georgia
#8 -- UCLA
#9 -- Texas A&M
10 -- Texas

The Grove is beautiful. Tall trees, grass, stately buildings tranquil setting with very little traffic. I'd love to be able to walk there on a random Sunday.

Ole Miss campus is great for Sunday strolling.

Most SEC campuses are really nice. But Ole Miss is unique because it isn't very "busy" compared to a lot of schools.

Why no, sir, actually you’re not. You’re not supposed to be impressed by any Mississippi plot of land on a 117 degree July Sunday afternoon…just how stupid are you?

I had to down vote you. The Grove on a random Sunday in July is not really “The Grove.” Come back on a home football Saturday in September.
