The grove is a glorified picnic. You can't grill. You can't cook anything. You bring in table cloths and snotty old people to tell stories of the 50s when Ole Miss was relevant. There is no intimidation. There is no luster. There isn't even a smell of bourbon in the air. It's a family atmosphere with a group of people who have the mentality of a 5' man in an NBA locker room.

There's a guy in a Tennesee shirt in the photo. 2001 SEC Championship in Atlanta maybe?

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read that. I did not know that. I have never been to Ole Miss but have always assumed their tailgating was right up there because they are constantly at the top of every list with LSU.

A canopy and a bunch of decorations and a chandelier does not make a tailgate party. If you can't at least light a grill, that's not tailgating, that's hanging out. Therefore any top tailgating list that includes Ole Miss is crap.

North Dakota State university is in the top 5. Never in a million years would I have guessed that

Where was this picture taken? I can't think of anywhere around campus that looks like this. New Orleans maybe?


2007 SECCG in ATL. That's actually our tailgate on the left.

Nah. At least not for the lsu game. It's second best in the sec in my experience. Aside from all the gumps.

GOOGLE MAPS

This link goes to the elevated roadway. The building on the left is the Richard B. Russell Federal Courthouse in Atlanta, near the Georgia Dome. I have been there (to the courthouse). Don't ask why.

To the right of center are the tops of the two cell phone towers in the original picture.

More like that article is over-rating the importance of Wal-Marts finger sandwiches and fried chicken because of the chandeliers...

Florida #6 makes me question thecredibility of this list, lol. In my opinion they are not the 6th best in the Sec, much less the nation.

Seriously...this is about as bad a pic of LSU tailgating as it gets.



But the Oklahoma State pic was even worse. See anything wrong with the following pic?

#15 Oklahoma State University
At Oklahoma State University, there is no shortage of fun, especially when homecoming time rolls around. Not only is Oklahoma chock-full of enthusiastic school spirit, its traditions are carried out with pride when it comes to tailgating; you’ll catch both alumni and current students belting out "The Waving Song” and indulging in a tented tailgating good time.

ESPN will have to start a big PR campaign to let everyone know that the PAC 12 tailgates are really the best.

And how did Ole Miss finish second? Cold 'possum jerky and Velveeta grits is not appetizing to anyone that is not from there.

The Grove is seriously over rated. Full of pop-ups packed so closely together you can't walk, and peopled by the most pretentious people I have ever met. The food consists of wal-Mart finger sandwiches and chicken fingers. The "gourmets" might have a cheese tray and a chafing dish of a lame pasta.
The chandeliers hanging from the middle of the pop-ups aren't there as a tongue in cheek joke, but rather the Ole Miss fans believe this is, in actuality, a real statement of taste and class. It is truly laughable!
The campus is pretty though and the girls are generally attractive.

The grove is an absolute joke. It's full of people who think they are high society but really would be lucky to get elected to the HOA of the neighborhood they live in

You're not around the right people if you don't smell booze in the air at the Grove
