re: What SEC Fan Base Treats Opposing Fans Best/Worst On Game Day?

No doubt about that part

I've been to every pre-2012 member stadium in the conference other than Kentucky - I've never had a bad time and only had a few rare negative moments. For the most part, people are good and fun if you are fun and happy.

Prime example for me was 2008 in Baton Rouge. That was as charged an atmosphere as I think you'd find in terms of a tinderbox kind of feeling. However, we were tiger baited 6-7 times and just kind of laughed, had fun with it and said Roll Tide or smiled and EVERY time the group that did it either yelled hope y'all have fun or invited us in for food and drink. It wasn't malicious, it was just fun big game banter. Some people can't seem to hear that stuff without being like "FVCK LSU" or whatever.

Some people just don't know how to go to road football games, and those people should probably just stay home.

Best for me was either A&M or LSU.
Worst was Tennessee, by far.

1. Auburn
2. State
3. A&M

This is based on my experience everyone’s might be different. We rag on A&M for being cheesy but irl they aren’t that bad.

1. Florida
2. Bama
3. Arkansas

Hands down the worst.

The vast majority of fans understand the costs that go into traveling for away games, and in turn, respect the opposing fans that are willing to spend that money to go into a perceived hostile territory to watch their team play. They are willing to bend over backwards to make them feel welcome by feeding, drinking, and bullshitting with them. It’s primarily the idiots that never travel to other stadiums, and feel like they have the numbers behind them to act like an arse, that always take it over the line.

I don't know the best, but UGA fans are definitely the worst. I've had a great time in every other SEC city for a football game except Athens. And I've been to Athens for a game 3 times, so they're not isolated incidents.

This sounds like you may be the problem.

Worst fans: LSU

Best Fans: LSU

I still laugh at the grandmother thing, but the curses we got from some of the other Georgia fans that particular day were not as funny. Other visits to Athens since then as I've aged have also been less than hospitable, which kind of stinks because Athens is a cool town.

I have no idea why the Gamecock fans were so nasty, but they were pretty awful to deal with.

Had the same problem. they were cool the Friday night before and after the game ended, but during that Saturday it was awful.

The best so far is UGA fans. Also had a good time with kentucky fans.

One year I need to make an Auburn Georgia game in Athens just to see what everybody is talking about

Best: unquestionably Ole Miss. Some of the best southern hospitality I've ever been treated to. Although LSU fans brought a great time to Austin last season

Worst: Probably A&M, but they have inherent hatred for us
