Have been to OM many times and been treated awfully each time, completely unprovoked. "Don't act like an arse and you won't get treated like one" did not hold true for me or the small group I went with at all, on any visit.

My fave was the elderly man that called my friend and I "a bunch of pu$$ies." Or the fratbro that grabbed me by my collar and told me to shut up for daring to cheer a good play by the Tigers in a game where we were being crushed with no chance of winning. Or the gal wearing a rebel flag as a skirt that cursed us and slurred "LSU sucks, go to a real school" about 2 inches from my face.

They are white trash in white linen and although a spectacle, the whole scene is completely overrated. Their delusion about everything - history, tradition, winning, the "class" of their fanbase - knows no bounds. Will never go back to that hellhole.

This is Fact. Its unbelievable how much they hate us. Every age race and sex shows the hate non-stop your entire trip. Grove is a catered affair that pales in comparison to anything you thought it woud be. Never again for me
