We need to help our newest SEC brethren with summary notes on their new rivals.

I went over to one of the Mizzou sites, and although they seem to have a general feel for the LSU and Arkansas fanbases, they don't know much about everybody else. Someone needs to inform them.<div>
</div><div>What word or phrase would you say best sums up each fanbase? What do you think of when you hear the name?</div><div>
</div><div>Here are my initial thoughts -</div><div>
</div><div>LSU: coonasses</div><div>UF: jorts</div><div>Bama: degree-less</div><div>Ole Miss: bowties</div><div>Vandy: ivyleague wannabes</div><div>UT: hillbillies</div><div>Arky: dueling banjoes</div><div>UK: basketball</div><div>SoCar: Spurrier</div><div>UGA: Athens</div><div>Auburn: camguzzling cheaters</div><div>MSU: maron is all that matters</div>

LSU - Nebraska with panache and cajun accents
UF - Texas without the attitude
Alabama - Oklahoma to the nth power
Ole Miss - Texas with even more attitude-- sports teams are a different story though.
Vanderbilt - Washington U. of St. Louis with a D-I program
Tennessee - A poor man's Texas but still pretty darned good.
Arkansas - A porcine Missouri.
Kentucky - Kansas
South Carolina - Oklahoma State
Georgia - Colorado-ish with a hint of Texas attitude maybe.
Auburn - Texas A&M
MSU - Kansas State & Iowa State

But I think I would have referred to Mississippi as Baylor without the academic prestige.

...being a safety school for Texans who wanted to attend the University of Texas but weren't admitted (I think that's right). I had thought about making a comparison to Baylor or Texas Tech somewhere. I couldn't find a good place...

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Mississippi is Texas without the money, quality athletic programs and academic prestige?

But I guess that makes you guys A&M without the same aforementioned qualities. Probably better not to be throwing these kinds of stones at each others' glass houses.

Being compared to Kansas and Iowa State is a pretty tough pill to swallow as is. He took a rock and aimed it at a window in our glass house. I'm not sure what he hit, but from the sounds of it, there was a lot of damage.
