Best college campus
What is the best college campus on game day? Take tOSU out of it. We all know that it is the best. What is second???
I would probably go with Texas A&M. Great tradition and the 12 man is really awesome to see.

Tennessee deserves to be thrown into the conversation.
The only other campuses I've been to for gameday do not warrant discussion.

Didn't we already have a thread on this? I know, I know. This is actually a good thread - I just don't wanna see that Aggy chump get started again. 
I agree about Ewe Tee. They love them some football down there. I visited there when I was trying to choose a college, and they already had a street on campus named after Peyton Manning. His last season there was 1997 - and they had a street named after him by spring of 1998.

I really liked Penn State. Everything was well kept and it was really kind of like being on an island...nothing else around.

Best campus for gameday, not Urban Planning 101 
I haven't been to U Tenn on game day, but it certainly is very pro-Volunteer on every other day of the year...and I imagine all of Knoxville downtown is crazy |

For discussion sake... I will toss Wisconsin and Penn State out there. Wisconsin has a lot of excitement but little prestige.... Penn State is heavy on the prestige but a little lacking of excitement.
Every Pac10 campus i have been to can not be compared to what we enjoy in the big ten. I'd love to visit the SEC schools (particularily Tennecleats, Death Valley and the Swamp) and see how they compare to big ten country just so i can weigh in on this topic when the annual SEC idiot shows up on our boards spouting off about the dominance of "Suthern Football".

I went to Morgantown for the Miami game when Tremaine Mack blocked the FG and ruined their season...absolute anarchy in "The Pit" before the game.
100% different from tOSU...
South Carolina gameday sucks...I'm was hoping to trek to Clemson this year, but they are away on the tOSU bye week.

I really do not know. If you did I am sorry. I have not been on for a while and was just thinking about all the great games I have been to so this just came to my mind. Sorry again if it is a repeat.  |

It's not really a repeat. If you sort through the Texas game thread though, there was a guy *claiming* to be a Horn fan who kept trying to talk up Texas A&M and the 12th man. That guy has a real inferiority complex. Nothing to apologize for on your part. This is a good thread. I haven't been there, but I hear LSU is top-notch for gamday.
