Wow. I'm originally from PG County (Bowie Born & Bred, though I went to Central HS just past the Addison Road metro stop), and I certainly didn't think of our portion of Maryland as Southern. Heck, I didn't even hear about Sweet Tea until I was in grad school, reading one of the wedding newsgroups!
Though I have said y'all since 5th grade (albeit combined with a huge dose of mid-80's Valley Girl).
I guess I'd more think of Maryland as mid-atlantic. I guess it's because of the mix of students and geography (appalachian, near-pennsylvania, Baltimore, DC burbs, eastern shore, etc) that it's hard to peg it. It's a weird mix of light southern geography plus a bunch of northern attitude.
Now, the UMD greek system is a whole other thing-- that Greek Row just screams southern, doesn't it?
