    "But it sure is fun painting millions of good people with the broad brush of 'dumb redneck' ain't it?"

    First of all, you're only showing how stupid you are if you think people in the south know football better than anyone else. There are two reasons the sec has been successful at football: 1) fertile recruiting ground; and 2) zero emphasis on academics.

    Buzz off with this nonsense. Outside of Stanford, Northwestern, ND, Vandy, and a few others, EVERYONE offers the same players. Are PAC12 schools better, on average than SEC schools related to academics? Of course. But that doesn't mean the athletes are held to a higher academic standard. ESPECIALLY regarding entrance requirements.

    In the Southeast, college football matters more. It just does. That's not a slight, the interests are just different. USC has one of the most front running fan bases in the history of the Americas. Hell you guys have had like 2-3 sellouts in 3 years. We have 100k at practice. We don't have the population density to have access to a lot of professional sports, so college football is top priority.

    Engineering degree from bama? LOL. So let me call on your prestigious engineering degree. What sense does it make to put so many of these structurally unsound dwellings in a region known for such extreme weather?

    Yes.

    Also, it's literally one of the worst states in the country by any metric you want to look at. But roll tide, baby!

    According to whom? What are these metrics? The ones that have you paying 900 grand for a 1400sq ft 3/2 rancher built in 1978? The one where you have a super long commute and pay super high property taxes? The one where you have snow half the year?

    I lived in NYC last year for work for a number of months. I was with my family in about a 7 million dollar condo rent free. I couldn't wait to get back to Alabama. And I wasn't even paying the taxes.

    People are different. People like different things. I wouldn't live in the state of Washington if you paid me. But then again, I also realize that things I like aren't for everyone.

    Funny how they can blow up "the SEC as a whole may be a little overrated".

    I don't even know how the SEC is considered overrated - everyone has been saying they're the worst conference America for a decade...Any time the SEC loses an OOC game everyone falls all over themselves to announce the demise of the SEC.
    What the hell are you talking about? Everyone has said how it's way better than anything else for 10 years. ESPN and CBS fall over each other to say it's way better than anything - until this year when even they couldn't fool anyone.

    Yeah, I understand geography. I wouldn't want to live in the state of Washington as a personal preference.

    The SEC has the one team in America that doesn't suck, but still.

    Who doesn't suck in the PAC12 besides UW? Please don't say USC because they beat a bunch of 4-8 teams to end the season...
