pre-order the black jersey and they will all bow at your feet as you walk the streets.

Auburn fans weren't too bad. We had a 5 year run of SEC bowl game opponents that coincided with my years with the team and in school and my first year after graduating. We played Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee and Florida. We went 4-1, losing to the Vols. The best fans were easily the UT fans, who could've been complete jerks since they rolled us, but were totally class. The Bama fans were...weird. They threw stuff at us, too.

Anyways, the Auburn fans that traveled were pretty cool. Obviously any bowl opponent will generally be less hostile than a conference foe, but you can usually tell what schools have jerk fans. I have a buddy who's a UGA fan and usually goes to Auburn for that game and continually has had good experiences.

Auburn people are generally friendly and knowledgeable football fans. However, their football team has been giving our football team an extremely hard way to go for years, especially after the divisional break up. Of course, the '96 SEC title game was an exception.

I've been down to Auburn the last two times we've played there (and one trip to Atlanta for an SEC Title Game).

They have some of the better behaved fans in the conference. I've had little to no trouble there.

how long is the drive from Knoxville to Auburn? Are there hotels within walking distance of the stadium?

Auburn is a good road trip. Their fans are leaps and bounds better than UF, UGA, Bammer, or USC.

Auburn and UT share a kindred bond based on mutual hatred for Bama. So if they get bad, just be like, "Hey, know who sucks? Bama." They'll be high fiving you in no time.

I've only had one bad experience with an Auburn fan, and he was extremely intoxicated... so I don't think you have anything to worry about

Last time the Big Orange played Auburn at Jordan-Hare, I was listening to the pre game on the radio when the Tigers ran onto the field. The stadium was so loud I couldn't hear the announcers. I knew right then we were in trouble. By the way, we got waxed.

We didn't get waxed at all. And I'm telling you, Auburn doesn't get as loud as Neyland. I have been to numerous games there, including the Florida game two years ago when they beat them.

I would definitely argue that Auburn is in top 5 SEC experiences. It is much better than UGA and Bama in my opinion. It is actually a pretty cool and fun place.

I've been to Auburn a couple times, also including when they beat UF a couple years ago. It's pretty fun, and the fans are generally nice, but I was very disappoined in the lack of talent. We tailgated in a little park near the stadium which was a really good spot. I'll try to fnd the location and let you know....
Going there this year too, and will most likely be in the same spot.

Last time I was there we made it a point to find out the true story behind "War Eagle" by asking most everyone we came in contact with after the game, we heard some interesting stories but no one's story completely lined up... I thought that was pretty weak, funny, but weak.

oh and BTW, you will get so sick of hearing "war damn eagle!!"

Bama fans are weird.. iv seen many of them cry after losses.
One of my best friends is an Alabama fan. He cries alot too. The best part about being friends with an Alabama fan is finding out new and interesting, enlightening facts about football from them. For instance, After UL-Monroe beat them last year, he informed me that UL-Monroe was loaded and probably going to a good bowl game, Who Knew? Another revelation he has since laid on me was that Auburn DE Quentin Groves isn't that good and couldn't pack Wallace Gilberry's lunch. Quentin Groves who tied a single game record for sacks(4) his freshman year at Auburn while in a DE rotation for the undefeated tigers. The same Quentin Groves who was know as the premiere pass rush DE in the SEC for as long as i can remember is not that good. I am so glad to be friends with an Alabama fan because if not for him i would look like an idiot when conversating with my college football peers for not knowing simple facts about football such as UL-Monroe being a powerhouse and Quentin Groves not being that good.

The Auburn University Hotel, which is pretty nice, is about a 5 minute walk across campus, but I am pretty sure you need to go ahead and book a room right now if they have any left. Here is a link of other hotels in that area. Nice little college town.

Auburn fans are cool. No worries.

I agree. They are some of the more classy fans I have met. Ive been to "The loveliest village on the Plain" and the game day experience is pretty good.

As someone who was there....we got waxed. We tried to make a game of it but it was never really close.

AU fans gave my son a free ticket that day and we were generally treated well. Except for this one drunk.....
