I thought we were above academis smack talk on this bored?
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? But it sure is fun painting millions of good people with the broad brush of 'dumb redneck' ain't it?

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

Washington isnt just seattle, FYI

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

Lane Kiffin just said the same thing in si.com. He talked about how loaded the SEC was in 2009 when he coached Tennessee and said the conference back then was way better than it is now.
.Lane Kiffin just said the same thing in si.com. He talked about how loaded the SEC was in 2009 when he coached Tennessee and said the conference back then was way better than it is now. You know why? Recruiting. Half of the top 100 players on a yearly basis comes from SEC states not including Texas. Want another reason just look at the NFL draft every year. The first round has SEC guys flying off the board early on a yearly basis. Look at the Pro Bowl, look at the All Pro list and you will see more SEC guys than any other conference. It says a lot when schools in the Midwest and West consistently come down south to take the three star left overs. We sure as hell don't go way the hell out there to get three stars

But outside of Seattle is CUOG CUONTRY.

"Millions of good people." Yah, right.journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0122963#pone.0122963.ref001 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.

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
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
