Definitely old money W&L, Tulane, and Sewanee rejects who want to feel better than other in state kids

At Ole Miss they act like the Delta is something out of Gone With the Wind when in reality it is more like Deliverance. I have been to the Mississippi Delta and it makes me grateful to be living in Southeast Missouri.

It may not be trashy but it is highly overrated! If you want little finger sandwiches or chicken tenders, that’s the place to go!
Then there’s the “Walk of Champions”. They haven’t had a championship there since the early 1960’s! 1963…63 years ago!

The word you are looking for is pretentious. The Grove is not trashy…there is a lot of cos-play wealth…and there is real wealth now too (lots of TX, GA, IL, VA and NY kids with extremely wealthy parents there now).

I hate to admit it, but the ghetto culture invading LSU tailgating has made portions of the game day experience trashy.

Florida is super trashy.

Ole Miss is pretentious.

Trashy? No.

Overrated? Yes.

Then my guess is that you brought it on yourselves. We always welcome opposing fans into our tent, even Tigahs. But there’s always a few walking around that can’t differentiate between good natured cheering for your team and lewd trashy smack talking.
Good Luck Saturday! Should be a good game.


I had a very good experience when I went during a non-LSU game. But when I went in '03, '07 and '23 as an LSU fan it was horrible. Now I agree it was probably a loud minority that every fanbase has but for whatever reason wearing LSU apparel in Oxford brings out some of the worst fans lmfao. My niece goes to Ole Miss now and she asked us to not come this weekend because she feels the exact same way. Now, when its not an LSU game I had a great time and fans were awesome but put on LSU apparel and the "bad" fans come out of the woodworks every time.

I went on a cold day/evening in 2019. The grove was way smaller than I thought it would be, it looked fancy with all the chandeliers but the cold finger foods were nowhere near as good as Louisiana tailgate food. They dress so nice (blazers, ties and nice dresses, all in OM colors) and we were in jeans and bright gold hoodies. I felt like the white trash there; didn't matter - LSU won.

Went to the 2023 game we lost. Sat next to an OM fan on the flight there. Super nice guy. Invited us to his tent. The older fans were all friendly enough. The kids were....kids.

The Grove is underwhelming just like their high school grandstands. No need to ever go back,

Still keep in touch with the guy we met on the plane for friendly trash talking.

Agreed. Not trashy, just pretentious Mississippians trying to act like they aren’t from Mississippi. Been a couple times, and didn’t have issues until we got into stadium and dealt with typical trash fans you would run into at most SEC games.

We had some good years in the SEC before the conference outgrew us...much like Ole Miss.


Sewanee never won a single SEC football game, bruh.

Their inclusion as a founding member was mostly a historical vestige even in the 1930s.

It's still a neat story. As is the story of their 1899 team.
