SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

[sparcboxbuck]

The comments are pretty good.

One thing is not like the others… well… not exactly like the others, anyhow.

The comments are pretty good.

so um, how are we going to define "Southern"
because I don't think that word means the same thing to everyone.

from there I'll tell you how I would rank them.

Use your definition. I will use my experiences.

1. Bama
2. UGA
3. Auburn
4. Ole Miss
5. LSU, but real fans are Cajun and consider themselves a different breed of Southern.
6. South Carolina
7. Arkansas is fake but not as bad as other below.
8. Missouri
9. Tennessee, but they use it as a label to come across quirky and hip.
10. Miss State
11. Florida is similar to LSU in that they are a different breed. Not in a good way though.
12. Vandy
13. Kentucky is fake as hell when it come to being "Southern." Fuck them!
14.Texas reminds me of Tennessee except they throw out Texas over Southern when convenient which is once every 5 minutes.
15. Oklahoma
16. aTm is more Southern than they are an army but still gay AF.

I mean.... just look at a map for Christ's sake.

Have you ever lived in the South? They don't view it that simply.

Hell, to them, Minneapolis, Dayton, and Omaha are the same as NYC.

True. But, mostly they can't read maps.

UGA and Florida are way down the list. They're the two highest ranked public universities in the conference, and both have been greatly influenced culturally by North->South migrants.

Ole Miss is, to my thinking, the epitome of Southern: backward ass state, dogshit academics and a true neo-confederate campus culture dominated by fraternities and sororities, and they laughably attempt to sanitize it all by wearing blazers and ties to foosball games.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

This you? Hahaha

I will neither confirm nor deny.

Lol. Found the southerner.

You're not seeing the big picture. Eventually this will dissolve into another B1G/SEC pissing match were we compare and contrast:

1). Which conference has the fans with the best taste in alcohol?
2). What's the best cocktail in college football?


Just imagine - "you're partying in the Michelob Ultra Touchdown Zone right outside Ohio Stadium and there he is! Jim Tressel! And this time, instead of punting, he wants you to go for it! Enjoy another ice cold Michelob Ultra - Go Buckeyes!"

The meme's write themselves!

If Ohio State creates a Touchdown Zone I hope it’s sponsored by a real beer.

Don't kid yourself about UGA.

When I was late teens, early 20s I traveled a lot throughout The South
Would go to a lot of Cattle auctions, so it was actually mostly wealthy "Southern Gentlemen" who were alumni of SEC schools.

Not stupid rich Oil tycoons. More old school property type wealth.

There is a reason this little cluster here is what most outside of the region refer to as the "Deep South"



This group all have that distinctive southern drawl.
They all try to present themselves publicly as "good God-Fearing Christians"
They all talk about each other behind their backs, but embrace each other when together.
And while the racism isn't nearly as thick as the stereotypes suggest, it is definitely still alive and well.

That's your top 5.

South Carolina is 6th, and could realistically be 1st. If not for the "look at me I'm from the South" attitudes of the top 5.
I mean they're freaking South Carolina. Started Secession. First shots of the war, etc.
But the state is actually pretty awesome. Clean beaches in the East. Mountains in the west.
Charleston is a cool city. Great weather, etc.

LSU would probably be next by default.
But really, we get lumped in with the rest just due to our location.

Arkansas and Mizzou are Big XII at heart. They just won't admit it.
That's why their so pissed Texas is coming to the SEC.

Tennessee and Kentucky are hillbillies more like West Virginia than the rest of the South.

Vandy is Ivy League that happens to be located in a great Southern City.

Florida is a never ending episode of Jersey Shore being filmed in Gainesville.

Texas A&M is dead last, because Homosexuality is still frowned upon in the rest of the Bible Belt.

Whiskey over Ice
