I went to the bathroom and seemed like somebody at each stall pissed on all the toilet paper. There were no paper towels and I had nothing to while my arse with lol.


First, were you aware of the paper situation pre or post poop? If before, you could have have mitigated the damages by utilizing maximum spread.

Second, he who is wearing socks always has something to wipe his arse with. That's the number one reason that I don't wear flip flops in public except to the beach.

Easily getting barked at by grown, adult men and women. The most embarrassing thing I have ever seen from a fan anywhere.

1)
having to dodge empty glass bourbon flasks and red cups full of who knows what.

2)
sitting in a crowd, having driven my own car with school tags on it and knowing that this crowd easily has 30% of the people with red spray paint in their vehicle for those moments when they feel the urge to graffiti some object.

3)
having elderly (no exaggeration) men telling me to STFU when I applauded a guy being able to walk off the field under his own strength after a nasty cheap shot

4)
same as #3, but this time having a 12 year old screaming - complete with spittle everywhere - "Get him a body bag!!!!!" ... both 3 and 4 were the same game and the same year said team had a guy break his neck because he was spearing another player.

5)
being in any arena with people wearing hunter orange and screaming "rocky top" -- despite their team no longer being in the tournament.

6)
having to listen to the piped in "rocky top" through the loudspeakers and being told that "artificial noise makers are not allowed".

7)
sitting in a crowd of about 2k, but because they leave open mics around, the crowd is about 20k... and the announcer has to orgasm "3...3...3....3 (fake echo)"

8)
any crowd that believes tweed is a good pattern -- nothing to do with tweed, but it's more to the point I know I'm going to hear people talking and whistling at the same time because of the gaps in their teeth and the amount of drool/spittle they'll be working with.

9)
well.... I can keep going, but it's going to be really ugly after this.

Went to a MSU-Bama game when I was really young af Davis Wade. Bama thrashed us but we still had a ton of drunk Bama fans screaming obscenities in our face before drunkenly tripping over themselves. A lot of them would also just yell “Roll MF Taaaaayde” while walking alone back to wherever they came from.

Worst? The only Florida game I have ever attended in 2014 versus Idaho. Hot as Hades, so humid you could cut it with a knife, raining buckets, and flashes of lightning. Delay, delay, delay; then, just one play... delay, delay, delay... cancelled.

Pretty sure everyone has a “barked at” story after visiting UGA. Some of us, a lot of us actually, will add a “walking through frat row my wife and daughters were subject to a string of vulgarities and profanities and I almost got in a couple of different fights” component to the UGA experience. Still others will add a “it was just the barking, it was the drunk in our faces barking and screaming on the way to the stadium and while standing in line to get in” experience, And still others of us, those of us old enough to remember going to Athens “THREE YEARS IN A ROW” while in graduate school in the late 70s and through 1980 .... and literally getting in fights outside of Sanford.

Yeah, Sanford has its special place in a lot of SEC fans’ hearts when “worst” is mentioned. God Bless their little hearts over there, up there, in Athens.

With that in mind though, by far, the most interesting experience at an SEC stadium ever happened on the bus ride in from the hotel to Tiger Stadium, Red Stick ... what so,e of us witnessed there will never be witnessed again and God Bless Skip for the post game apologies but me, personally, I thought it was one of the most incredible things I had ever seen ... I tell my grandchildren about, “The Day We Ran The Red Stick Gauntlet.” They want to hear about it every year come football season.

Gainesville when I was like 6 or 7, all day Friday and Saturday we were treated like shite by everyone, cussed at, flipped off, etc.

While we were tailgating, I was playing tag football with a group of kids and some drunk bitch asked me if the jersey I was wearing was a Bucs jersey (remember the old Bucs unis looked at lot like VOLS). I said it was a Tennessee jersey, she said I needed to go back to my own group.

Late in the game, hundreds of souvenir cups filled with God knows what were thrown at the visitors section, my dad put his arms around me and tried to shield me from the air raid.


I don't even remember who won the game, just that I've hated the Gators ever since.




I've been back to Gainesville twice since, back in 2001 when Travis Stephens fricked their little butts. Fans were assholes again, but not as bad. And again in 2015 with my nephew when we blew a 13 point lead in the 4th quarter, (Goddamnit I hate Lyle). Honestly, the fans weren't too bad this time, few idiots, but nothing egregious, mostly gracious in victory actually. Glad my nephew didn't have to put up with the same abuse I did when I was his age.

in a bathroom at AU I saw a few fans trying to beat up a lone UF fan. And again at AU in the parking lot I saw a few AU fans trying to beat up a lone UT fan.

I’ve never really had a bad experience with SEC football fans (going to Rupp wasn’t the best). That said, Maryland fans are terrible. Screw those guys.

The smell of guano in the morning. Brutal 11 A.M. kickoff in college station. LSU’s tickets were at the top. Terrible smell and terrible game experience.

Jeremy Hill shredded the farmers which made it bearable. Our defense PWNED JFF too. Made him look amatuer.

Went to the Auburn game on the way back from a beach trip two years ago. Walking to the stadium and a douchebag threw a water bottle out of the window of his truck and it hit my wife. Fans were so insanely trashy around us. Auburn fans are extremely cocky, and there’s nothing more bizarre/disgusting than a cocky redneck.

Went to an OM game in 90 or 91 vs Memphis (met Chucky Mullins after game) I've only been to two games there, the other vs Auburn and Tubbs first return game. Anyhow, it was late and game was close against Memphis and all I remember is dozens of beer bottles being thrown into the crowd.

You should go to Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. It’s essentially a stadium wide “Two girls, one cup” experience with drunks puking all over each other and pissing on themselves.

I've honestly had good experiences everywhere in the SEC. Away games at Clemson and UCF are a much different story. Those fans are unbearable. It's expected at Clemson though because our fans treat them badly when they come to Columbia, but UCF was out of nowhere. A total Guido nightmare down there.

Nothing really to bad. Been all over the SEC. Got heckled after walking out of the stadium at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. You just have to have thick skin.
