Best visiting fans?

considering Tennessee fans have always been hospitable and generous as well of the two times I’ve visited Knoxville. I can also say UT fans are at the top of the list on my best visiting fans as well.

You’ve got me as I know it’s a heated rivalry and a lot of trash is talked on the world-wide web and such, but I’ve never had any bad experiences.

I don’t know about personal interactions with them before games in Knoxville, but I do know they have a bad and classless habit or starting up their Go Bama back and forth cheer when a Tennessee player is injured. I remember a couple instances of such during the 17-13 UT few years back.

As far as my experiences though, Georgia fans are by far the worst no matter where you are, Knoxville, Athens, or here around Chattanooga. Hence my hatred for Georgia.

Florida, South Carolina, and Auburn fans have always seemed decent. Ole Miss and Miss State as well. Not so much with LSU’ers….

I’ve had fewer negative interactions in Knoxville with Gamecock fans than any other group, and the most negative ones I can remember at Neyland go back to Steve Tanneyhill’s days sixteen years ago. I think for awhile there most of them were just happy to be in the SEC, but generally they’ve been the most pleasant.

Florida fans are the worst in Neyland. Georgia fans are the worst on the road.

… Bama fans are generally the best of our rivals. But the most polite fans I have seen here in recent years were the Cal fans. They traveled well and were in complete awe of what they saw here (just like their football team, it turned out…)

Florida fans have historically been the worst, but I think Georgia fans have caught up with them.

(And of course all of the above is based on my own subjective experiences through the years. I realize that every fanbase – including our own – has some bad apples that can give others a bad impression and I know not all Florida and Georgia fans are obnoxious.)

Are typically classy, and in my limitedexperience the travelling fans are exceptional.

I’ve had good experiences with Volunteers, Gators, Gamecocks and Tiders. I am not quite as fond fo Georgia fans since I was once married to one and she boasted about “hating everyone else” in the SEC.

Gators first game I was in Ocala before the game, saw a bunch hooting it up and readying to drive up to the “big game” against Charleston Southern? I said "Hey guys who you playing (I knew) and when they responded I said “What’s the matter, was Charleston North too much this early?”

And they all laughed, which I did not expect. They offered to buy me lunch too.

In my experience, the fans that attended the University are typically great. I have seen a few “casual” fans who were less than polite, especially around Gainesville and at FSU.

I am sorry about the loss, I thought you guys would win it for sure when you started moving the ball late in the game.

Good luck against Florida, while everyone was hooting at you (myself included, I apologize) about WKU as a game, we should note that this is Florida’s first test this season.

Give em hell, you know Berry and the D will show up for sure.
