Are you hospitable to opponents while tailgating?

Tiger Stadium will be rockin Saturday night and there will surely be plenty of Gator fans in attendance. How do you plan to greet the opponents? Offer them boudin and gator with a friendly tiger bait chant? Or do you put the vibe out that they’re not welcome?

There's no reason not to be.

It's embarrassing when you see this or hear about it from opposing fans.

There is no reason to be rude to opposing fans....unless they are rude to you first then it’s ON........

Never understood why you'd want to be an a-hole to your guests ...
I treat every opposing fan how I'd hope they would treat me at their place.

We won’t treat them like they treat us. We’ll show them what college football and southern hospitality is all about. Florida fans better be taking notes on Saturday as they walk around all the tailgates. Hardly anyone will say anything mean to their fans like they do to our fans when we go to Gainesville, and if someone does say something mean, it’ll be mostly just messing around, and they’ll probably offer those fans food and beer

Leading up to the game, yes. Walking/stumbling to the stadium and during game time, no.

I've read multiple horror stories of people saying they won't go to LSU again. Heard the same thing about Tennessee. Haven't had an issue at bama, Tennessee, or any of the other stadiums/neutral sites we have visited. We were at the UT/LSU game and all tiger fans we encountered were good even with me wearing my Gator gear.

We’ll feed you, give you drinks, let you party and have fun. There will be good natured ribbing.
As long as you aren’t an a-hole we’ll be the most gracious hosts ever. You’ll probably get tiger baited, but it’s worth it

I don't tailgate anymore, but when I did if someone came up and started talking from a hated SEC foe and were cordial, I'd respond in kind. Otherwise, I generally ignore opposing fans entirely.
The only difference is for OOC games with fans that are never here and you can tell they are just happy to be here. Or, this past Saturday a guy sat down next to me in the EU and mentioned to his girl that Tiger Stadium was different than the Rose Bowl and that he didn't mind being that far away because the sight lines were better. started talking to him and turned out he lives in Texas but is a native Californian who always wanted to take in an SEC game. Spent a good bit of time telling him about the history of the stadium, great games there, he asked about seeing recent star players there lives, etc. Those kinds of interactions are great.

No Reason to be a "RICHARD" to anyone.....
UNLESS THEY ARE BAMA FANS.... HA!!!
No Seriously, just like politics, Just because someone has a different point of view politically doesn't mean F-ck them or what not, UNLESS THEY ARE EXTREME LEFT/RIGHT
Just like if they are EXTREME and yelling "we going to F-ck u up tonight" Then you have my RICHARD BLESSING
But for the most part, we all want to have a good time
REPRESENT!!!

I agree. We have some of the worst fans in football.

only time I've seen any outright assholistic shite in recent years were overdrunk baws/and frat baws that wander over to South Stadium drive among the grownup tents, as they're making their way towards the stadium I guess, that just can't resist being obnoxious assholes to the other team's fans, usually Gator fans elicit this but there's no excuse for it
ETA: the first time I went to "the swamp,"(it wasn't even called that back then,) I said I'd never go back until we would be coming in and favored to win by a huge margin, you guys have some terrible fans(everyone does, but I sure seem to run into more of them there), and really a not so great tailgating atmosphere, and frick that open container bullshite!

I've never been. But yeah...so do we. Some of the best, also.
What I've found, and I'm sure most would agree, that generally if you don;t go around looking for trouble and are willing to be nice then most reasonable fans, even overly passionate ones, will be cordial. That's not ALWAYS true, especially when you run into drunk college aged kids or assholes in general, but for the most part it is.
what I will say for our fans base, and kind of true for folks form Louisiana at large, is that they LOVE to be known for being good hosts. sometimes it comes off as almost needy...trying VERY hard to be inviting and fun. But it comes from a good place, and if you're open to it you'll be welcomed in and considered a friend fairly fast.
