And try to get to a "bigger" game too.

I echo this sentiment. I believe that it is fine to go to a smaller game the first time - smaller crowds, easier ticket availability, but for the real experience, you have to see an Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida, Bama or Arkansas game, preferably when both teams are good and the outcome is in question as late as the middle of the third quarter (or later).

Little in my experience tops 1995 Auburn, 2007 Florida or 2009 Bama (my top 3, in-person, gameday experiences) because the intensity of those 3 games, in particular, was palpable and undeniable.
