My vote for most obnoxious has got to be UGA's. I had a bottle full of human urine thrown at me when i was in the band back then.
Suprisingly the most well behaved has to be UF...i dont know why. but all the one's ive encountered seem to be allright.

What games are you going to??? My experience has been just the opposite.

I've been spit on in Athens and hit by a bottle in Athens. Gainesville isn't much better, walking down frat row and jeep driving, dave mathew listening frat boys shouting obscene remarks at everyone including women and children. I'd say all fans, including UT fans are bad. Maybe the teams with the best fans are those that don't win. Vandy, Kentucky, they're probably all nice people.

Worst in order from absolute worst, down.

Georgia
Florida
Bama
LSU
Vandy
Auburn
Kentucky
South Carolina
Ole Miss

Haven't met Arkansas, Mississippi State

Ga and Florida are the worst, Bama and LSU aren't TOO horrible, but they've got some really mean fans mixed in.

The rest aren't horrible, but they'll poke fun at you..Ole Miss are absolutely the nicest.

I took a crew to Notre Dame this year. I could NOT get over how nice the fans were at South Bend. As soon as we parked the van, and got out with about 10 orange jerseys, the fans came up to us, said "welcome to south bend!" gave us beer, etc. It was really such a different experience than what I'm used to traveling around the SEC. They were so nice it was just plain weird.

Free beer from ND fans? Do you remember the next three hours after that?

In alphabetical order, things I hate about each SEC team's (including UT's) fans on the net:

Alabama: Online Bama fans are more consistently filled with animosity than any other SEC team's fans. They truly think the world is out to get them.

Arkansas: Too melancholy. Chin up, guys. Easily freaked out, too. Mustain, anyone? Everybody on Earth knew, at least subconciously, that the kid would be a Razorback.

Auburn: These fans are Al Gore-level bitter about being left of the 2005 Orange Bowl. Let it go, guys. There is no written rule anywhere saying going undefeated in the SEC gives you a spot in the national title game.

Florida: These fans think everybody hates them a lot more than they do... Guys, your program is still a young'n in terms of success levels. People hated Spurrier, not Florida.

Georgia: Like Bama without all the Bear Bryant jokes.

Kentucky: When it comes to football, how can you do anything but pity these guys? Seriously. You just can't hate them. All you can do is chuckle while they huddle up in the stadium, half the fans in fetal positions saying hail marys that they can fall into a coma until basketball starts (how's this season going for ya?)

LSU: What a bunch of drunken idiot losers. GUESS WHAT GUYS?! YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY WHO THINK YOU WON THE 2003 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP OUTRIGHT! :D Plus they are the only team I've seen that will barely scrape by an opponnent (see: vs. Oregon State 2004, vs. Arizona State 2005) and act like it was a complete beatdown.

Mississippi: Don't see many Rebs fans on the internet... I've heard you guys throw a bitchin' party, though. Props.

Mississippi St.: Oh yeah. You guys play football, huh

South Carolina: After Spurrier's first season there, South Carolina may very well be on a ride to the upper echelon of the SEC East, and they're laughing in our faces all the way up... Screw those guys. They're the new Florida.

Tennessee: This one is hard for me to get out... But let's do some introspection guys. It's not like internet Tennessee fans are without our flaws. Let's face it, our squad is a player on the national level a lot less than we'd like to believe. We're usually just decent but never great... Fulmer needs a few more SEC titles and BCS bowls before I'll reconsider.

Vanderbilt: Yeah, you're the smartest people in the SEC. Blah, blah blah, too bad books can't play football

1. UGA
2. UF

arrogance, unknowledgable fan base and in UF's instance a Johnny-come-lately who thinks they have a history.

There are bad fans everywhere. As for UK, they are much more hostile during basketball season. I think everybody, including UT, has jerks within their fanbase somewhere, but it only shows when the team is winning. You're more likely to be at a road game in football than basketball, which is why the basketball schools probably seem really nice. As for being spit on, that is shameful, but it is probably not just UGA.

Comparing Vanderbilt to Harvard is like comparing Phyllis Diller to Elle McPherson.

it's been my experience that UF fans are the most unruly. I've seen more fights at TN/UF games than any other games i've ever attended....they're just down right mean. that said, i have a friend or two that are UF fans, and they are OK, but i've just been privvy to too many instances where UF fans are just plain hateful.

UGA fans are obnoxious yes, but more times than not, they seem to be farily knowledgeable and generally speaking like to have a good time. they are obnoxious in the traditional sense....jawing back and forth, doing that stupid bark they do....

Bama fans are just arrogant. "We're Alabama". Like it's some right of passage or legacy or something.....even when they sucked.

LSU fans are just crazy. I was on a plane from New Orleans to Atlanta in 01 the Friday before the SEC CG between us and them...it was 9 a.m. and half the plane was LSU fans. they were all already drunk, and for 2 hours on that flight i was known as "Tennessee bois" pronounced "bwaah".

Ole Miss fans, are a lot like UGA fans. The atmosphere in Oxford is underrated. Great place to go watch a game.

MSU fans are the losing team equivalent of UF fans. I've had people throw things at me, try to set my car flag on fire, yelled at personally, etc.....red neck doesn't even begin to describe (both my younger brothers went there, so i fell l can speak intelligently on this)

Auburn fans, well, for the most part, i've never had any issues with any auburn fans. all the ones i've ever met and associated with seemed pretty cool.

after that who cares....

Milo I like reading your POV most of the time. However, the fans online are SOOOOOO much different than the real thing. It's one thing to be flamed on a message board by a UF fan. It's quite another to watch one hit your girlfriend get hit in the head with a full cup in the swump. I have been to most of our traditional rivals campus and have been treated very well for the most part. I will not go to the swump ever again after the way my 2 trips turned out. I did drink with a guy called "King Gator" at the game and he was really cool, but that was it.

I've been to the Swamp one time. 1999. I still have nightmares about Alex Brown. Before the game, the fans were ok. After the game was different. People were up in my face screaming obscenities at my wife and me. There were fans driving down the main drag with people hanging out of the back of trucks screaming at me. It is the only time I ever felt afraid for my safety at a football game.

Is this an all SEC thread? Just wondering because if it aint, has anybody ever been to a football game at Clemson or a basketball game at NC State?

It's why I said online fans. Of course, the internet brings out the worst in everybody

You guys have got to start hanging out with me at the UGA\UT games. The crowd im with always welcomes other teams fans with open arms (that being beer, food and good natured ribbing). But inlight of the thread UF fans have got to be the worst that I have encounterd (though I am sure there are some good ones) most seem to be arrogant yankees that migrated south for retirement.

I don't know who is worst in the SEC but I have been to more games at Sanford than at Neyland and I have never felt threatened or been mistreated in Athens while I have had UT fans, yes fellow UT fans, get downright hostile with me in K-town. I think that anywhere you go as a visitor you will get a little ribbing from the home team but Athens is fine in my book.
