Since they call Clemson "Auburn with a lake" or whatever

Auburn pretty much does have a lake. Lake Martin is badass.

Not being a dick, but when all the Auburn fans walk to Toomers to roll the tree's it makes it easy for the visitors to leave
Didn't even think about this. We drove the 6 and a half hours back to Cola after the game so we didn't dilly dally on the way to the car

Well I am sure you wouldn't mind a bit of extra traffic this year

I dont find Bama that bad coming and going. Auburn is also very easy to get to and leave. Both have slower traffic of course but most college towns do.

When I went to Mississippi State, it was brutal driving through Tuscaloosa on game day - and we would be passing through nowhere near kickoff. That was well before the stadium could seat 100k.

Yup - Lake Martin is one of three lakes that are awesome in Alabama (Martin, Logan Martin, and Lay)

Ole Miss was much better in 2013 than it was in 2012. Changes were made. Appreciated it very much.

I know it's already been said, but Clemson is the absolute worst. I was told it was going to be bad before I went last year, but we were stuck in traffic for ages. UGA is bad, but living in Athens has helped me know the ways of the town and I figured out a way to get out of the stadium area fairly quickly if need be. It's not good though in general. Auburn isn't great. Ole Miss I've always walked. Mizzou and Arkansas weren't terrible but we left the stadium area at least an hour after those games. Kentucky was incredibly easy. So were Vandy and Mississippi St. South Carolina and Tennessee weren't that bad either.

The worst traffic getting into a game is South Carolina by a mile. I've been to two games in Colombia and it's a nightmare.

Getting out of Athens GA after a big game is incredibly hard.

It helps that they turn a lot of the roads into 2 lane one way roads all heading away from campus.
Which sucks if you have to get downtown for a gig and having dropped your gear off at the place you're playing before the game is over.

Yup, or trying to get a liquor delivery to the bar when the perimeter they set up around town is locked down.
Getting out of town, Ive never been stopped in one place for more than a few minutes, and thats only been on the internal campus roads. Once you get out of the actual campus, you move quickly

Auburn and Bama have not been bad at all the times I went. However, I study back roads and flow maps before going. MSU can be bad, but having went to school there I know all the side streets and easy way outs.

FIFY
Supposedly as many as 50,000 people never even made it to the stadium and turned around to go home because the traffic was so bad. Some people were stuck for 6 hours trying to make it to BR from Lafayette.

You think Alabama is bad now? The Bruno event team improved it.

after the UF game was a shite show. I waited about 2 hours before attempting to leave and it still took an hour to get off campus.

Worst experience I've ever had was when I was returning to ATL from Clemson after a game south on I-85 when our traffic merged with the UGA traffic (game ended at the same time) heading south. Sat on interstate for hours.

I live on West Parker and iy took my parents over 2 hours just to get out of campus and drive back to their house in St. Amant...after sitting at my apartment for 2 hours after the game. My SO didn't even try to leave until after 1:30 am because the traffic on Parker was so bad.

I truly believe that AThens PD and campus police make the traffic WORSE leaving the campus. They funnel the traffic a certain way and the roads they close hurt a natural flow. There are 3 main ways to get away from Athens and the police funnel you to the loop every time.
