How do you plan to greet the opponents?

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.
