    Yes, the SEC didn't look as dominant or as polished as it has in the past. A big part of that is coaching because the talent is there. The SEC will regain its dominance of the past when these new coaches get settled down. A big part of the coaching problem in the SEC is caus d by Saban in my opinion. Too many fan bases and administrations and boosters have become restless seeing what Saban has done and pull the trigger too fast firing coaches in some cases. A lot of good coaches don't want to come to the SEC to compete with him causing schools to hire less than qualified candidates

    Please tell me this is a joke. Like you're messing with me.

    "Area racism was the proportion of Google searches containing the “N-word” in 196 designated market areas (DMAs)"

    Do you know who uses the N word the most? Black people. Do you know where the population density of black people is the highest? The south.

    But nice to know based on this "scientific" study that the south is infinitely less racist than the northeast.

    Be honest, you've never been to the south (Atlanta doesn't count).

    Attended a wedding in mobile, alabama in 2013. Driving just outside the city we spotted a bumper sticker which read: "If we knew then what we know now, we would've picked our own damn cotton."

    Did you read the rest of the study? About black mortality rates and the incidents of racism? It isn't just about using the "N" word. Jesus.

    Look at which states are trying to roll back the voting rights act.

    The fact that you would say, "Atlanta doesn't count," pretty much makes my argument.

    Black people use the "ga" ending while racist whites use the "ger" ending. There is a difference and I'm sure the study took that into account

    1) I'm not sure that it did take that into account. 2) Black people use both more than even racist white people use the one. I live in Alabama. I'm 100% certain I know racists, am FB friends with racsts. I have never in my life seen someone I know who is white say the N word on social media. Like ever.

    And if we're throwing anecdotes around, the only person I've heard use the word freely was a white ultra liberal snowbird.

    The study is trash, just like UW's schedule.

    HAHAHAHAHA from the study
    Results from our study indicate that living in an area characterized by a one standard deviation greater proportion of racist Google searches is associated with an 8.2% increase in the all-cause mortality rate among Blacks
    Those also just happen to coincide with areas of higher poverty, more crime, and less access to healthcare and steady employment.

    But lets ignore history's most obvious driving factors in mortality rates "because racism." Deer lowered this is why Trump won.
