That's. It. Exactly.
And it's still true. Go over on another popular forum and do a search for any Southern state's name or even "Southern" and you'll find all kinds of disparaging remarks and our states held up for ridicule.
Another reason it's so hilarious to read those Q/A forums where potential new members ask, "I'm from the north and going to a big SEC school. Will I get a bid?"
