Only traveled for SEC games, and it was South Carolina a few years ago.

Every OOC game was great for me considering we usually don't lose OOC. Worst away games for me were Bama 09 and Ole Miss 09. I thought these were worse than being in the dome on 1/9/12 honestly.

Texas A & M 1991 (maybe 93). They ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and it got worse from there. It was like 1000 degrees with no wind and a stadium full of Aggie cult followers. I could not wait to get out of town.

Oddly enough, best away game experience was at A & M 1987. Story for a different thread.

Arizona in '03.

Crap stadium. No tailgating. Crap bar scene. Long drive.

Im sure Im one of the older posters, but the worst was when I was a sophomore at LSU, fall of 1980, Jerry Stovall's first year at Rice Stadium a loss to Rice and the weather was pitiful , pretty much a driving rain off and on for the whole game. We did come back next week or so and upset Florida at Gainesville and finished the season at 7=4 but the trip to Houston that year was definitely my worst non SEC Trip. Of course my all time favorite was heading out to Los Angeles in the fall of 1984 and giving it to the Trojans in the Coliseum. Wow what a trip and even made it on the Johnny Carson show.

I would say probably Texas A&M in 1993. The campus/town were boring as hell, it was something like 300 degrees and we lost ugly, 24-0, and were never really competitive. A close second was Texas A&M in 1995, but at least we made more of a game of it that time.

Virginia Tech in 2002 was a shitty game, but the overall experience was a lot of fun.

ULM football. It's too much like highschool in terms of the band, the crowd, and .... the team. At least the team was much better when it was
1-AA.
