Alumiyum, in 2008 I was on a trip to campaign for Obama in Michigan. One of my co-canvassers was a 6'4" black man from Huntsville who'd gone to UA on a full ride in the 80s. He told us about attending a welcome reception for his scholarship program shortly after arriving in Tuscaloosa. One of the alumni, a little old white lady, chatted with him warmly for a few minutes and then told him, "Well, you CAN'T be from Alabama." He said, "Yes ma'am, I'm from Huntsville," and she replied, "OHHHH...you're from the NAWTH."
BTW, look at those pics of UK bid day and tell me that's not the South!
Haha...but AnchorAlumna is right.

My stars above! I have never understood why people disavow their Southernness so enthusiastically. I have ancestors who came to Virginia, some that met them here and some that came in chains (got the DNA to prove it) and not a Yankee in the bunch. It is ok to be Southern, y'all!
