re: First time to Oxford/The Grove

I found it to be extremely crowded. Felt packed like a sardine. I didn't get the allure of famous "Grove" other than that it's a tradition. Under the tents, out of the tents, it was chock a block. The people were nice as far as my experience, but I didn't think it was all that. It was more of a pain than anything else.

The Walk Of Champions is a nice tradition, but the "walk" is narrow for a bunch of big old football players trying to get through a packed Grove. When I was there, the players didn't look too excited to be doing it. It was nothing like what our team does at LSU. That's probably why I was underwhelmed.
