LSU/Bama 2011, absolutely the most fun I don't remember ever having

In saying that, can't wait to go back this fall and hit up Athens.

I've been to Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Tennessee (for Bama games) and the only place I didn't thoroughly enjoy was Mississippi State. The entire city/campus blows. I've been to UGA and UF games without Bama playing and both were a ton of fun. Still need to go to Vandy, UK, Scar, and the newbies.

Nothing is better than beating LSU in Baton Rouge. Second would be beating Florida in Gainsville.

You're not missing anything with Vandy... Nashville is a good time though. BR rules in the fall.

True road game?

2008 LSU was fun just because of the stuff we did around the game and the Dawgs hanging 50 on LSU in TS

2012 UGA-UF was the best overall, though, as it saw an undefeated #2 ranked UF team get shithoused in the most karmic way from a UGA standpoint. So many years I watched so-called superior UGA teams shite on themselves in Jacksonville. Last year, UGA forced 6 turnovers, including a bed-shitting by Jordan Reed. I've never cried at a football game, but the sheer happiness was enough to choke me up a bit

That was my favorite game period. That was one crazy atmosphere even if we did lose the game with Eli falling on his bum.

That was an insane weekend. Maybe the best gameday atmosphere ever in Tuscaloosa. Was a fricking circus.

I dont think I have ever been that pumped up for a game.

I wasn't at the 2012 Egg Bowl but I heard it was one of the best Ole Miss games. It was everything from the crowd, the score, the player's attitudes, and these guys:

I like when people pick games that show how mediocre their program is because you have no clue what game they're referencing because it had zero implications for anything.

I think maybe, I dunno, I've been to the Eastern Division venues a lot more than the Western Division but, if I had to rank them in order (with none of them really being bad experiences except for Georgia), it would probably be ...


1 - Florida (ten times, we just get along with Gator fans to a point, and it's a good venue)
2 - Ole Miss (been a lot of times actually dating back to the 70s - great atmosphere and fans)
3 - LSU (three times, first time in '02 was bad with Holtz, last two times were excellent)
4 - Bama (twice, both times were fine, good tailgaters)
5 - Auburn (once, in 2010 and they have good fans)
6 - Kentucky (six times, good fans, plenty friendly)
7 - Vandy (three times, and until this last time it was almost like a home game)
8 - Tennessee (fine fans for the most part, we always tailgate down at Calhouns, stadium is too tightly packed)
9 - MSU (went for a Thursday night game in '06 I think it was, partied like a rock star at the casinos)
10- Arkansas (been to both Fayetteville and Little Rock a couple of times. Very decent fans, lacking a home field identity but Fayetteville was the louder of the two venues IMHO)

















987,491,773 - UGA (meh)(j/k dawgs, it's really not that bad. Excellent venue, drunk obnoxious barking fans)

Going to Mizzou this season and A&M the first time we play them at their place.

I like how LSU fans act like they've been a powerhouse for 30 years.

My favorite spot has been Georgia in '02. We lost but still an unbelievable time in Athens. I honestly always love going to Starkville for any home game. It could just be because I know so many people there who tailgate and go out, but I always enjoy myself there.
