Most people who live in Texas do not consider it in "the South," but you go on.

You had no rebuttal to my point about an immigrant family leaving the area and have happily been in Dallas for several years. You know what? People have a different variety of reasons that are important to them. Many people move out of the area, and when grandchildren are born, they may move back to the area to be close to their grandchildren. Others have different reasons. But in your haste to dismiss the purported traffic issues in Dallas, I have asked my friend and he said the traffic there is not terrible.

But we agree that places that are crowded have traffic problems.

Will say this much - people outside of NY/NJ/Northeast are far less consumed with divisive politics in other areas of the country. Arizona is a good example.

Your referenced article showed majority in TX consider it the south but your comment said others. TX is definitely in the south but nothing west of TX is “south” even if geography tells us otherwise.

How old are you? Remember not to stare at the sun directly.
Old enough to appreciate beautiful southern women while also realizing that having another man's nickname as your handle, and reciting his musical accomplishments, on a college football message board of all places, is one of the creepiest things I've seen in quite awhile

That's an overgeneralization. There is a cadre of snooty Northeast folks in this thread who look down on there noses at any school South of Washington, DC. Given the choice of going to school at Clemson, University of North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, University of Tennessee, University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, University of Florida or Florida State (among other schools in the South) for the same or less tuition than Rutgers, good enough academic programs, no winter weather and other positives, it's an easy choice to pass on Rutgers.

Some kids/families want smaller schools too. Bu that's not good enough either for the Rutgers
Über alles snobs here who snort at nearly every school being worse than their alma mater. Comical, when in many instances programs at some of these schools are ranked higher than, equal to or only slightly lower than the same program at Rutgers. Guess it makes them feel better in their discussions when on line at Shop Rite or Costco.

Comparing UNC or Wake Forest to Tennessee or Clemson is ill informed, we don't even need to put RU in the conversation.

If you don't think FSU (or the majority of southern campuses) have beautiful women, you're either lying, insane or not straight

Most places have beautiful women. But NJ and RU have more. And to not be a homer about it, CA has more than that.

If you are going to deny the South has a 10x more serious obesity problem than the Northeast and West Coast, and that also exists at their colleges, I don't know what to tell you except remove your head from the sand.

No idea wtf you're talking about, but I'd venture to say most men on this board who have big opinions of the South enjoy looking at beautiful women as opposed to a mostly naked male RU alum

I was referring to Boss being creepy having another man's nickname as his board name
Speaking of that weirdo, he disappeared before letting the masses know his favorite southern campuses
Maybe he's camping out at the Stone Pony ???

This thread and board are laden with evidence to the contrary.

Most of the affinity for the South on this board is the thought they have lots of members of the same cult. And these days, even that is changing. Will be fun to visit this thread in November, hopefully it is isn't nuked.

If you're actually in the South this weekend why are you posting here instead of taking in the beautiful non obese women?

I get why Valet and others that can't afford it spend all day here but you said you're there.

Also, many people at least on the old board had GS and other coaches names in their handles, others had players like Rice, Leonard etc.

Agree with you all major metro areas va e bad traffic.

sure you will find somebody move South then back up north but Sc has has the largest per capita net migration in for 3 years in a row.

Temperate weather, low taxes, friendly people but it’s surely not perfect
We are not in disagreement. People move for all sorts of reasons. The person I know that moved back was because of education for his son. He probably jump the gun and should have waited until after HS. I personally don’t enjoy the humidity of the south but it’s a great time to visit the other 2.5 seasons. The south bird thing is not new. Not sure why people act like it is.

Here is what my wife and I determined about the humidity- it’s also humid in the NE but more humid days here for sure. But 9 months have better weather and its
Not like the other 3 aren’t humid up north so all in all more days we can enjoy the outside here but some
People prefer the cold and that’s fine too

I’m not worried if you are too young. It was more like if you are too old. College tailgates are full of girls “underdressed” at all the campuses. As a dad with college age daughter, I make sure I’m not staring directly at the sun.

Certainly not 10x the problem but yes, more obesity down here

but it’s not even close in the beautiful women discussion - SC is way better than NJ or CT

That's true, but it's also full of their moms who, like a lot of them, are smoke shows

CA is full of them - that we'll agree on
But the South is as well
Head to FSU, Clemson, Ole Miss, Bama, Auburn, Miami, UF, etc. - arguing that is like saying Olive Garden has solid Italian food

I never denied the South has an obesisity problem - that's you putting words in my mouth
But having an obesity problem does, nor ever will, apples to apples equate to the beautiful women down there

They're simply, on a whole, better looking down there, as well as CA
Period

Lol you guys and the politics ****, who cares what politics people have
We're talking about schools down south vs. schools up north and, in particular, the cultures / differences (and women)

Politics has nothing to do with how attractive someone is
Seriously one of the dumbest things I've heard in awhile

I know it sounds crazy but you can actually post on a message board in the South
Some places do have Internet

Usually, I'll go from Friday morning through Sunday morning, flying back super early (in this case, from Jax, a 2.5 hour ride from Tallahassee) which was made even more fun due to waking up at 3am to catch it

Yes, I think it's weird to have Coach's or players names as people's usernames
I think it's even more weird having a musician's nickname as a username as well, as well as continuing to bring politics into threads that have nothing to do with them, but I digress

Yep
Summers up North are humid but for not as long
Summer down South is longer, but more than offset by, at least in my humble opinion, ideal winter weather (amongst other things)

Only on this board can we be talking about beautiful women and politics inevitably enters the conversation

It's one of the things most straight men, regardless of political views, can freely (and respectfully) talk about, yet this thread gets highjacked w/political nonsense as usual

Speaking of stunning women, I had a chance to speak with Kayleigh McEanay at an event Friday night in Tally - not only is she beautiful, but smart, well-spoken, etc.

Sometimes you see people on TV, and when you see them in real life, they don't look as good
Absolutely not in this case - KM's a legit dime

Yes but… 100 random liberal women vs 100 random conservative women. I’m not sure there is even a competition there. But of course there are beautiful and ugly for every political belief, but on average- I mean just look at the national conventions when then pan the crowds. lol

It's so far off topic, it's ridiculous.

Miami perhaps but that's plastic. I am not really into that.

At least to me, obesity isn't attractive but again, everyone has the right to like what they do.

At least to me if I'm on vacation I don't post here. Especially about something so off topic.

Of all the weird things on this board, none of those would be in the top 10.

Though in the top 10 would definitely be the simping for other states and schools. When I look at what's happening in the world I am thrilled to have my bachelors from RU and thrilled to live in NJ. Wouldn't trade it for any other school or state, currently cruddy football aside.

LOL. Keep dreaming. Yes, everyone is so jealous of the women at the hate rallies.

Again, if morbidly obese and/or botox is your thing, sure. For everyone else, no.

And if you think that includes women on any college campus...maybe Liberty..even then, probably not these days lol.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but IDK, she reminds me of Squidward.

Yep.

One convention has women.

Your convention crashes Grindr and has a RU alum in his underwear on the big screen.

And I support your right to those things. Better that than bragging about being backstage at Miss Teen America.

Not to me. To me, personality matters, and she is Squidward-like to me. Nobody can convince me otherwise.
I may be different than others- physical 9's or 10's go to 4's or 5's in an instant if the personality is not there. On the other hand a solid 6 or 7 goes to a 9 or 10 if the personality is a plus.

As proven by data, the south has a horrible obesity problem. In black and brown communities. It’s not just the south though. It’s an epidemic throughout the country in those communities.
