You Mean To Tell Me.....

[Twin Cities Panther]

.....hardly any of these big talking, high rolling, east coast blowhards are coming out to support the greatest 3 loss team in the history of college football? Are they afraid the stage coach will get lost or maybe of getting trapped in the middle of a Winnebago uprising?

Don't even tell me these sissified east coast types are afraid of a few flakes of snow:

What in the hell would they do if they had to live in cabins and subsist as hunter/foragers like us Midwesterners??

Its gotta suck to get out-travelled by a 4 loss New Hampshire team from your own conference?! Christ, they are farther away, it was Thanksgiving weekend and they had one less day of notice!

You got that right...I'd need a week of vacation afterwards to recover from a trip like that because it would require many, many "pops" on the way to and from...and I don't think even that could dull the slow, throbbing pain.

Re: You Mean To Tell Me.....

As a transplant to the South, whether its East or West at least we can agree its NOT the SOUTH. Couldn't resist this YANKEE perspective on Football in the South. I took this from one of my former players dad who lives north of me in florida. whether it has relevance to anything between our schools, i thought this was pretty damn funny!



The Way It Is in True Football Land

Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically different than up North.

For those who are planning a football trip South, here are some helpful hints:



Women's Accessories:

NORTH: Chap Stick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket.

SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a fifth of bourbon.

Money not necessary - that's what dates are for.



Stadium Size:

NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.

SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people.



Fathers:

NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.

SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.



Campus Decor:

NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.

SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.



Homecoming Queen:

NORTH: Also a physics major.

SOUTH: Also Miss America .



Heroes:

NORTH: Rudy Giuliani

SOUTH: Bear Bryant, Herschel Walker, Peyton Manning, Bo Jackson, Kenny Stabler, Pat Sullivan, Bart Starr , Cadillac Williams, Sherman Williams, Johnny Musso, Joe Namath , et al.



Getting Tickets:

NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus.

SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus, make a large financial contribution and put name on a waiting list for tickets.



Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game:

NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because they have classes on Friday.

SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class.



Parking:

NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking.

SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities.

The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.



Game Day:

NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.

SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting "Game Day Live" to get on camera and wave to the idiots up north who wonder why "Game Day Live" is never Broadcast from their campus.



Tailgating:

NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local radio station with truck tailgate down.

SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking accompanied by live performance from the Dave Matthews Band,... who come over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon.



Getting to the Stadium:

NORTH: You ask "Where's the stadium?" When you find it, you walk right in.

SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it is the state's third largest city.



Concessions:

NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda.

SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's mascot on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for bourbon.



When National Anthem is Played:

NORTH: Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them stand up.

SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect four-part harmony.



The Smell in the Air After the First Score:

NORTH: Nothing changes.

SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.



Commentary (Male):

NORTH: "Nice play."

SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sum***** - tackle him and break his friggin' legs."



Commentary (Female):

NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."

SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sum***** - tackle him and break his friggin' legs."



Announcers:

NORTH: Neutral and paid.

SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team.



After the Game:

NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.

SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker, while somebody goes to the nearest package store for more bourbon, and planning begins for next week's game.



Nothing else in the universe comes even halfway close to the glories of Southern football!









And for SEC Fans:





HOW MANY SEC STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?



At VANDERBILT: it takes two, one to change the bulb and one more

to explain how they did it every bit as good as the bulbs changed at

Harvard.



At GEORGIA : it takes two, one to change the bulb and one to phone

an engineer at Georgia Tech for instructions.



At FLORIDA : it takes four, one to screw in the bulb and three to

figure out how to get stoned off the old one.



At ALABAMA : it takes five, one to change it, three to reminisce

about how The Bear would have done it, and one to throw the old bulb at

an NCAA investigator.



At OLE MISS: it takes six, one to change it, two to mix the

drinks and three to find the perfect J. Crew outfit to wear for the occasion.



At LSU: it takes seven, and each one gets credit for five

Semester hours.



At KENTUCKY : it takes eight, one to screw it in and seven to

discuss how much brighter it seems to shine during basketball season.



At TENNESSEE : it takes ten, two to figure out how to screw it in,

two to buy an orange lampshade, and six to phone a radio call-in show and

talk about how much they hate Alabama .



At MISSISSIPPI STATE : it takes fifteen, one to screw in the bulb,

two to buy the Skoal, and twelve to yell, "GO TO HELL, OLE MISS".



At AUBURN : it takes one hundred, one to change it, forty-nine to

talk about how they did it better than at Bama and Georgia, and fifty to get

drunk and roll Toomer's Corner when finished.



At SOUTH CAROLINA : it takes 80,000, one to screw it in and 79,999

to discuss how this finally will be the year that they have a decent

football team.



At ARKANSAS : None. There is no electricity in Arkansas

Re: You Mean To Tell Me.....

Excellent post shush21! I have spent a good portion of the last four years traveling in the South and laughed big time at that!

I will say that, yes Arkansas is the natural homeland of whitetrash, but that is one nice football facility at the U of A! Actual the whole city is like a resort...land of Walmart.

Anyone who knows Florida knows that very little of the state population-wise is actually southern culturally. Almost all of south Florida especially is populated by northerners and Canadians.

Oh yeah? Spend some time in Tampa. I've done plenty of business there over the years, and the mullets per capita rank is right up there. The Tampa/Tallahassee/Gainsville areas couldn't be more different than Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade counties. The later are more like what you're describing.

You couldn't find more white trash in a dumpster behind a paper plate factory.

Ah, I love it. Might have to reserve that one for future use.
