James “not elite” Franklin (HC Penn St. Nittany Lions)

I swear my dad's Penn St fan friends used to give him shit for Ohio State being in "cow town". This was before I had visited either place, so I just assumed it was accurate.

Fast forward to where I make my first trip to a game at Penn St and literally park in a cow field.

It's like someone from Paducah Kentucky saying Atlanta is a cow town because it's further south.

Takes a certain level of moron (and there are plenty of them).

Even Joe Pa thinks that's a dumb idea.

Alabama, along I-20, is way more developed and densely populated than the desolate stretch of Pennsyltucky on I-80 between the OH/PA border and E. Stroudsburg.

Parts of Beirut are probably more densely populated than Afghanistan. Doesn't stop them both from being 3rd world shit holes full of crazy motherfuckers.

Completely Agree.
That's my point exactly.
Alabama is a backwards shit hole, but Pennsyltucky between Pittsburgh and Philly is even more backwards and shitty.

If you understand that, then the Cult thinking themselves the East Coast sophisticates of the B1G should give you perspective of just how delusional they are.

That and the fact they are ok with child rape, or whatever you want to call it.

Aren't most college towns quite culty, weird and very insulated(i.e.: Morgantown, Lubbock, Waco, Manhattan, Lawrence, Urbana-Champaign, Iowa City, College Station, Auburn, Oxford, Norman, Bloomington, Fayetteville, Blacksburg, etc)?

As a current Texas resident who has spent time in some of the State's college towns, I would like to comment.

Lubbock
Insulated - more isolated than insulated - and hell yes, it's isolated
Weird - if you watch Fox News, No ; if you watch CNN, Yes
Culty - nope

College Station
Insulated - sure, but the insulation is a net benefit to society
Weird - does the red ass brigade and squeezing your nuts seem weird?
Culty - the indoctrination begins during the campus tour (my daughter visited, but did not choose A&M);
I feel fortunate to have escaped the visit alive. Experience was a little too "Blair-Witchy".

Waco
Insulated - yes, but not in a bad way
Weird - See Lubbock
Culty - Ummm ... no comment (not sure who might be reading this)
