Being a Gator fan, I love 2 bits before the game
I'm not a Florida fan, but I thought 2 bits was cringe worthy.

UT Band playing the other team's fight song was unique and memorable. Sadly then they just played Rocky Top the rest of the day.
Auburn, just the eagle. Everything else was pretty standard and even a little high school.
Alabama, I liked the 4th quarter intro on the board with the crazy coach yelling that "Its Winning Time". The Houndstooth thing is really getting kinda tired don't you think folks?
Mississippi State - The cowbells are truly obnoxious. Nothing more. HIghtlight of that trip is spending the night in Tunica, which tells you just how bad it really is.
LSU - Sadly the highlight hasta be rude people, starting with the 7 year old yelling Tiger Bait Mo$*@r F#*%krs at the top of his little lungs while his proud parents stood drunkenly watching. I did like it when they yelled Its Saturday Night in Baton Rouge. Since the Hogs thumped them the crowd all left by the third quarter though.
South Carolina - I mean...I guess that recording of the chicken before the game starts.
Kentucky - Fans chanting C A T S Cats Cats Cats...oh wait...that's basketball...well...its Kentucky.
Mizzou - The most bland tradition free program on the planet I think.
Nothing of course compares to the near religious moment after the A marches down the field when the announcer in DWR Razorback Stadium let's loose with the world famous "C'mon all you Razorback fans...let's CALL THOSE HOGS" and all of Northwest Arkansas reverberates with the most famous cheer in all of sports. This is typically when most LSU players pee themselves while huddling under their blankies because it is too cold.
I forgot Ole Miss...I guess that says it all. Editing it in. The experience of watching the most desperately arrogant fans in all of sports as the 4th and 25 experience occured was priceless. It got even better with the facemask in OT. For that experience I'll be eternally grateful to the living inferiority complex that is Ole Miss. As to that Hotty Toddy thing? Nobody can understand a word of it actually, take a lesson from your brethren at A&M and get some yell leaders or something. At least their outdated 'yells' are in unison.

The Texas game was, by far, the most crowded that the grove has ever been. Just an unfortunate day if that was your only experience.
People that complain about having to pour beer into a cup are generally people that are just lazy as frick and want to find something to complain about. You had to do that for a half-day and it seems as if your entire world came crashing down. Ole miss fans do it every home game and we dont complain about it. And you didnt have to keep your cooler constantly locked...only locked if your tent is unattended because it can be a liability issue for minors to have such easy access to booze on university property....that's actually pretty common sense.
Also fans of other schools love to pretend that every tailgate at their games is filled with top of the line tailgating food. I've seen just as many chicken tender tents at other schools than at ole miss. Yes, there's an open flame law for setting up in grove...but the grove is actually a very small portion of where everyone sets up. You can set up a big as boiler right across the street if you want to. The tent that I frequented had a huge spread of food that required on-site cooking.
In short....stop thinking that you absolutely have to set up in the grove and also know where the boundaries of the grove actually are.

I went for an Alabama game in Oxford and had the same experience. You'd have to pay me to go to the Grove again.

Florida= 2 bits is lame in my opinion. Chop is cool and I also like the "thank you sir" chant after flags.
Texas A&M= Swaying thing before the game. Some Aggie chick put her arm around me and I did not have a clue what was going on.
Auburn= Eagle pouncing on that little helpless gay mouse. Greatest pre game tradition in the SEC.
USC= Sandstorm
Bama= I guess Sweet home Alabama song pre game. I don't have much to say here. Just way to many drunk Bama fans hollaring F*** LSU all day long. Even the Bama women were cussing at everybody. Best LSU response of the day "Bear died of AIDS."
Georgia= "Woofing" on kickoffs. Always makes me laugh.
Arkansas= Calling the hogs.
Ole Miss= I guess the Grove and having little kids run up to me and say "Go to Hell LSU"

It's annoying that you can't just have a beer like an adult. The whole hiding it in a cup thing is juvenile and seems like something you'd have to do in a Muslim country.

That's actually pretty sad. Why can't the people attending just not be criminals?

To be fair, we don't have many big traditions.

Also seems like something that a habitual complainer would complain about having to do. Beer tastes better poured anyways....unless you like shitty beer.

It's unfortunate but things get stolen pretty frequently if you leave things unattended. That isn't just exclusive to tailgating.
Some kid sneaks in a tent during the game and ends up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning....you're looking at a possible lawsuit from the parents.

Alabama - wish we still played Dixieland Delight. I know there are children in the stadium etc. but people need to relax a bit.
Auburn - the eagle flight is pretty cool.
Texas A and M - the band is legit.
Tennessee - Vol navy and Rocky TOp
Florida - gator chomp when the gators are good. intimidating.
LSU - opening bars to the fight song and the band running into the stadium.
Miss State - their baseball program
Ole MIss - the band playing Dixie
Arky - don't have one that stands out. woo pig sooie could be better.
USC - the rooster that crows in the middle of the game and maybe on 3rd down?
UGA - nothing really stands out? black jerseys?
Mizzou - safe spaces.

I like how at Alabama they get really into their chants. I've gone to the LSU game there for a while now and they get loud.

Favorite SEC Traditions:
War Eagle in Flight. Was right over my shoulder one year close enough to feel the breeze from its wings. REALLY cool.
LSU Golden Girls- pretty much anything they do. I love watching them and I make sure I take my high powered binoculars to games involving LSU. I miss a lot of the football plays at LSU games.
Tennessee Navy. Yep, that is pretty cool. Was on a boat one year before the game and had tickets. I didn't even go in the stadium it was so cool to watch the game on the HD on the boat while just outside the stadium. There is a delay, though.
Florida Chomp and Jaws. First time I heard/saw that, it was very intimidating and it continues to be especially in a high pressure critical game situation. Being in the Swamp when it is a critical game moment is about as good as it gets for SEC intensity. LSU is tied with Florida for tops for that IMO.
ATM kissing. I made sure I sat next to a hot girl. Well, she was my wife, but still. GREAT tradition.
I did see a lot of guys sitting next to each other. I was too busy with my wife to notice what they did.
Never been to a Missouri game, so I cannot comment.
LAME: Cowbells. Really? Who started this? They should be shot. I think all MSU fans are going deaf early, or they are either deaf already so they need a cowbell, or they are dumb and can't yell because they cant talk and need the noise of the cowbell so they know that there are actually fans who managed to not get lost going to that stadium. Either way, get those dang thangs out of a football stadium and back on the farm. I was deaf for a month - or maybe it was a year after that.
LAME: Arkansas grown-ups doing Soooie Pig is about as embarrassing as you can get in a tradition. I actually started laughing and had to really keep from doing so in order to not offend my friend the first time I saw it in person. I just can't get that picture and sound out of my head when I need to smile for a picture. What is really embarrassing is you can tell people are trying to show how its done to newcomers expecting them to think highly of it when all I can do is raise an eyebrow and say, um, ok whatever floats your boat while trying to contain my laughter.
LAME: Alabama thinking Sweet Home Alabama is their song with the "Roll Tide Roll" chant in it. The song is by a Jacksonville, Florida group and which contains a few Gator fans. They wrote the song as a defense of the South. All the South- when Alabama was attacked as representative of the South.
LAME: The Grove. They stole the tradition from the Ivy league and that is the only reason it is lame to me. The Ivy League started a lot of traditions that others have adopted and take credit for. So, that is lame.
