Having grocery store party trays for tailgates can only be popular for so long.

Tailgated at Clemson and South Carolina. Columbia is far less scenic, but much more of a shitshow. This video was this past year. Would have been even crazier if Covid wasn't here.

Iowa City is head and shoulders above Ames for gameday atmosphere.

As someone who has been to both state and ole miss tailgates... it’s not even close.

Also, live in auburn right now and it is nothing compared to bama tailgating.

I have a hard time believing marshal is more fun than West Virginia as well

App state over North Carolina or duke?


Ok, well that settles it then.

I’ve been to tGrove a couple of times, and I enjoyed it don’t get me wrong, but it didn’t really live up the hype for me.

My two cents...

Having been to both a BC and UMass games...UMass was better. Again, this was an outsider. Most of the BC people I saw were at bars in downtown Boston and took the T out to the game. THere was a small tailgate area, but nothing impressive.

As for NC, Duke and UNC (way too much wine and cheese crowd looking at basketball rosters)...surprised NC State was not there. They were pretty good both times there. But my favorite was ECU...what a sh!t show...and I say that with love

Alabama and Mississippi are both spot on.

Bama is a corporate spot with rentals and zero originality.

Ole miss is catered garbage, no open containers, and a jam packed lawn.

Give me auburn and those hillbilly’s from state if it’s strictly tailgating.

That's a hard graphic to screw up and they did so fairly spectacularly... impressive


it's a troll. Barstool frequently makes maps like this with the "best (thing) in every state" or "every states favorite food" and they'll get it about 60% right so just enough people believe it to be real.

Like they did one with every states favorite fast food place. They of course had some obvious ones like popeyes for LA and whataburger for TX, but then gave Pennsylvania subway and California Dennys, while every state bordering california had in and out

So are the games inside BDS.

I haven't been to my old student tailgate spots in Auburn (over by the old tennis courts by fraternity row) in about 15 years. But I certainly wouldn't take my wife and kids over there these days. Best to stick to the more laid back scene further away. It used to get pretty wild and raunchy at the old spot.

There isn't a chance in a million that fricking Purdue is a better tailgate than Notre Dame, and yes, I've tailgated plenty at both.


How is Notre Dame tailgating? Just curious.
