LOL. Born and reared in SC. I have lived in different parts of the country, both in Metro areas and Rural areas but never "up North".

You made an asinie statement that Clemson fans objected to Pitt and 'Cuse being in the ACC because We're a southern school. They're not. There is a cultural disconnect, which is what provokes the disdain for Pitt and Syracuse. You issued an opinion that branded Southerners as being bigoted against those not from the South because of a "culture disconnect". I pointed out that Pitt and 'Cuse are located in States, especially Pa.,that outside a small number of Metro areas are rural and that those rural folks share pretty much the same culture as those in any other rural area including the South. If one goes to the rural areas of any state and talks to the folks living there, one will see that those folks, even farmers such as yourself share many of the same views and culture. There are Metro areas in the South that are as "Northern" as any Metro area in the North. You made the opposistion to Pitt and 'Cuse a predudicial issue based on a cultural bias geographically. I happen to think we are way past that silliness.

Those opposed to Pitt and 'Cuse being in the ACC may be opposed for many reasons but not for the one you suggest. If that were the case, PSU wouldn't be talked about as being a great addition to the ACC or ND.

I wrote no such thing, look at the thread. English much? I wrote you couldn't compare rural SC to PA and NY and I stand by that.

My apologies. You did not write the Northern comment, but you did write "I would hardly compare rural PA or NY to rural SC. No, sir, that is truly laughable on many levels." which goes to my contention that I don't think CU fans object to Pitt because it is a Northern school, and I was pointing out that just because it is in Pa., a largely rural state,like SC, except for Pitt,. Philly and Eerie, that the Northern statement was a crock.

And you are still wrong on your statement re. rural areas in other states not having any commonality with SC rural areas.

I would be interested in knowing why you can't compare the culture (which is what I am addressing) in rural SC with that in rural Pa or rural America and why it is laughable on many areas.(I would hardly compare rural PA or NY to rural SC. No, sir, that is truly laughable on many levels.)

What is with this trashing of Pitt?

App State could have won the Big East over the last decade.

...and the ACC too

kinda like USuC in the SEC?

Re: ...and the ACC too

When they went 0-21 over 2 seasons--it was the WORST
