re: For LSU fans who made the trip....

They might be one of the most fair weather fan bases that I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. When comes to how I was treated, it was horrible. Ten or twelve people told me how good of game it was and to have a safe trip home and everyone else I walked by said f you, you suck, etc. There were 4 nice Bama fans sitting around us and the rest were complete tools. One guy told me before the game i would leave by the end of the third quarter. Didn't hear another word from him until after Tiffin's field goal. I hate to judge a whole fan base by only the people who i encountered but, I encountered A LOT of Bama fans through the day and many of them just continued this trend and a majority of them were NOT students.

Even though I didnt go I talked to a couple Bama fans online hours before the game saying it was going to be a great game and hope there are no injuries. I heard this about six times so im wondering why everybody was saying it, then we just bstarted dropping like flys out there and Bama fans were screaming enjoyment. They knew that unless we lost some players, they were doomed from the first TD we scored

Tuscaloosa is a good gameday experience. But the tailgate kinda lacks.

we walked around campus before the game. tailgating was pretty good. not as good as georgia or ole miss but better than florida.
campus is ok. again, i wouldn't say it's as nice as georgia or ole miss, but on par with auburn and florida. better than ms state. definitely not as good as lsu.
we met up with friends and a group we didn't know. they were all more than hospitable and invited us to eat and drink. people walking around before the game were nice. one older gentleman told us he was glad to have us there.
the people who sat around us at the game were nice. they made sure to have conversation with us and we all said good game afterwards. aside from tiger stadium, that was the loudest game environment i've heard. and that includes the florida beatdown last year in gainesville
after the game wasn't nearly as bad as ky '07. i didn't see or hear anything too bad.
game experience wasn't as fun as georgia, tenn or ole miss, but it was better than ms state, florida, auburn, ky

as I've said before ,90% of fanbases are fine,10% are bad.
I don't need a welcome wagon,so indifference is fine with me. The vast majority were fine. We tailgated on the quad with some and behind the library with some.
But like anywhere you have the jerks. Drunk 'Bama kid four seats down getting up 50 times cursing,etc was bad. The inordinate amount of Alabama fans with stickers saying "LSU ain't shite" was suprising.And of course ,the losers harrassing us outside the stadium on Univ Blvd heading back to the car was pretty low class.
but,by and large the trip was fine. Great set-up on the Quad.

Tuscaloosa: nice bar scene, average to below average dining, campus is the best thing about the place
Treatment: fair. There are assholes in every group.
Campus: very nice buildings
Ladies: A+
Stadium: ok. Did not seem loud. It got loud in the forth quarter on a third and long for LSU but that was about it. I was expecting a little more based on what Bama fans were telling me.
Your video boards are below average.
Overall it was a good trip. If your fanbase could lose their since of entitlement you would be a lot easier to deal with.

Most fans were cordial, gave the usual "good game" etc. Even those sitting around us in the stadium were nice, good natured. Cheering when players are down is inexcusable no matter the situation.
We were in an RV lot on Paul Bryant only about 4-5 blocks from BD. Maybe we were isolated a bit from some of the nastiness. We got several RTR's and LSwho's and LSU Sucks to which we promptly responded "Go Utes". It usually went silent after that.
Overall, I always enjoy my trip to Tuscaloosa. This one was no different for the most part. But, the hatefulness is definitely on the rise.

I thought overall the treatment was pretty good. We RV'd in some Bama students' yard starting Thursday and they were awesome to hang out with.
There were alot of FU's and RTR's as people drove or walked by but that kind of stuff doesn't bother me at all. We had a ton of people shaking our hands after the game saying, "great game." The only thing I had a problem with was the cheering / booing of injuries but other than that, the atmosphere was spirited and fun.

Classy team. Some classy individuals. Classless home crowd. Cheering and chanting in unison when an opposing player, especially a stud, sustains an injury is, well I must admit, Albamian.

I had urine bombs thrown at me on several occasions, I saw two guys with bama bangs beat up this little girl for no reason, and someone called me a corndog.

I have been to Tuscaloosa 5 times and had a great time win or lose. I tailgate with Bama friends and always said this was the best place for opposing fans. In 2007 that changed. I thought I was in Auburn (a place I will not go to again) with all the in your face taunts. Same things happened this year. Florida fans to me are better than OBAma Gumps. I now have 2 places I will not attend and both are in the sad atate of Alabama.

- Enjoyed the trip, had a good time at Jupiter before the game.
- The ladies were hot but not LSU hot.
- Dreamland is extremely overrated. I can make better ribs at home in my smoker and the sauce was runny vinegar and a ketchup/mustard mix. Definitely did not come anywhere close to the hype.
-Stadium sucked for one of the most storied programs in the history of college football. I was sitting in the upper corner of the end zone and could not see any video board except for the little strip on the sides that showed the score, down and distance etc. This never was updated until the next play was starting. They did not have signs on the ramps telling you where your section was either.
- Nick Saban is embarrassing. Win or lose I'm glad he his yours. Reminds me of those kids that throw a temper tantrum at Wal-Mart, I feel for there parents because they love them anyway.
- fans were not as obnoxious as I thought they would be after the game. The younger fans were a little loud but the older more mature fans were just ready to leave and i think they understood what had happened and were ready to move on. They knew that they had gotten away with one so they didn't gloat much.
- Campus was nice. I liked the quad and the Greek houses were nice and close to the stadium which was cool.
Overall i had a good time but I was in meridian most of the time with mostly LSU fans. I would make the trip again.
