BEST AND WORST OF THE SEC The University of Alabama football team proved to be the best team in the Southeastern Conference last season. Whether the Tide can prove it again remains to be seen. What we can find out is does Alabama have the best tradition? The best rivalry? The best fight song? Or does Alabama have the worst? The Tuscaloosa News asked readers on tidesports.com to give us their thoughts on the best and worst of the SEC. Here is a sample of what some tidesports.com readers wrote. Visit tidesports.com for the complete report.
TRADITION
CAMPUS BEST: I would say either Bama or Ole Miss. WORST: I would think that the worst campus discussion begins and ends with MSU. We are talking Starkville here, people. — BAMAWV
BEST: Well, if I have to be honest, the Eagle flying around (Auburn’s) stadium and landing on the logo (at midfield) is pretty cool. — thedeuce WORST: Mississippi State cow bells. It’s hick and annoying. — sarcastro
MASCOT
RIVALRY BEST: Well...I agree with Keith Jackson...“Son, the 3rd Saturday in October is when boys grow into men”... — 50+yeartidefan
WORST: Yep, agree. Vandy/ UT is a complete joke for an instate rivalry. Of course, Vandy is a joke all by itself. — Marshall Dillon
BEST: Who doesn’t love UGA? Especially after he tried to bite an Auburn player a few years ago. WorstI’m going with Smokey, too. What the hell does a mangey looking blue tick hound have to do with Volunteers? — Killer Instinct WORST: The worst has to be the Gamecock. I mean seriously...Gamecock? — Broctune
FANS BEST: Surprisingly Florida. I had heard horror stories, but every fan I encountered at the game was polite and knowledgable. — Oldlefty12
WORST: LSU. They are classless, vile, rude, nasty, brutish, mean...and that is before they start drinking! — BamaBlitz
STADIUM BEST: I definitely would say Bryant-Denny. The work that’s been done there in the last 15 years or so has been amazing. When you go from playing your biggest games at Legion Field to having the best (and biggest?) stadium in the SEC, you’ve clearly made a lot of improvements. — Rachel_In_Red
WORST: Worst stadium has to be Vanderbilt. Looks like a glorified high school stadium. — BamaBlitz
