Best and Worst Away game experience you've ever had in CFB

Obviously try and stay unbiased towards your own teams.
What schools get your nod in terms of overall fanbase, atmosphere, environment, And overall A to Z experience (traffic, local town scene, etc)
My best: Tie between Alabama (LSU vs Bama in 11 was insane) and Florida St (FSU vs Oklahoma a few years ago).
My worst: Florida. Sorry that I'm not sorry. The atmosohere was nice and loud for the LSU game even though both teams sucked. But come on. The pregame was meh. The bar scenes were terrible and the tailgating was a joke for an SEC school in the south. Add to that the number of south beach types who wear tank tops everywhere and I couldn't believe the amount of douche in the student body. Stadium was mediocre and not impressive.

Best: Purdue. More Buckeye fans than Purdue when Ohio State plays them at Ross Aide.
Worst: Florida State. Not because of their fans, but because their tailgating scene is quite lame. (They were playing Clemson)

1/9/12 will definitely stay cemented as the worst sports experience ever for LSU fans.

Best Away: Georgia fun town, good fans, great experience.
Worst: Miss State: Stadium sucks, fans were obnoxious, just a lot of trash talking came from a fan base who has not really done much. I remember police had to get between the LSU section and the Miss St. section because their fans were drunk obnoxious looking for a fight. (Not sure if it was there student section if so might be a bad idea to put them that close to the away section).

My favorite was the Holiday Bowl in San Diego against Oklahoma State in 2008. We were two programs that were trending in the same direction with rich boosters and innovative offense. Too bad Oklahoma State has fallen off a bit. The stadium had beer and the opposing fans were great. San Diego is a fun place to go in the winter.
Worst experience was Boise. That was partly do to my teams doing.

Help Me! I'm in the ACC with Scar as a rival. Honestly the ACC Championship in Downtown Charlotte against Va Tech was pretty cool. All others in the ACC are wine and cheese. One day I'll make it to Blacksburg and Tallahassee. I seriously got in a Scar game as a teenager for free by climbing a dumpster into the stadium. I followed the home team fans. NC State is similar to a Columbia experience.

Best: Notre dame...very friendly people
Worst: Northwestern....17 degrees and very windy. Atmosphere sucks.
Never really had a bad away game experience cause of the people. Just the usual friendly banter with opposing fans.

Despite the loss, Athens was great. Great game atmosphere, too.
Worst: 2010 @ Arkansas
Those fans are so garbage. Having to deal with them talking trash was the worst.

Best: Ole Miss.
Worst: Arkansas. I've been twice and both have been two of the most boring experiences I've had as a visiting fan.

My favorites...Tuscaloosa and Athens. Been to alabama a half a dozen times and I always have a blast
Least favorite is easily Gainesville. The people there are not friendly and I personally didn't enjoy the city
