Southern Football
Another reason why the South is great.
Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically different
from up North. For those who are planning a football trip in the South,
here are some helpful hints.
Women's Accessories:
NORTH: ChapStick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket.
SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a
fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary - that's what dates are for.
Stadium Size:
NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
Fathers:
NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.
SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.
Campus Decor:
NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.
SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.
Homecoming Queen:
NORTH: Also a physics major.
SOUTH: Also Miss America.
Heroes:
NORTH: Rudy Guliani
SOUTH: Archie & Payton Manning
Getting Tickets:
NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and
purchase tickets.
SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus
and put name on waiting list for tickets.
Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game:
NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because
they have classes on Friday.
SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want to see the
few hungover students that might actually make it to class.
Parking:
NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game
parking.
SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the
weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.
Game Day:
NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.
SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to
where ESPN is broadcasting "Game Day Live" to get on camera and wave to the
idiots up north who wonder why "Game Day Live" is never broadcast from
their campus.
Tailgating:
NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local radio
station with truck tailgate down.
SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking
accompanied by live performance by "Dave Matthews Band," who come over
during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon.
Getting to the Stadium:
NORTH: You ask "Where's the stadium?" When you find it, you walk right in.
SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it becomes the
state's third largest city.
Concessions:
NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda.
SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's mascot on it,
filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for bourbon.
When National Anthem is Played:
NORTH: Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them stand up.
SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect four-part harmony.
The Smell in the Air After the First Score:
NORTH: Nothing changes.
SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.
Commentary (Male):
NORTH: "Nice play."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs."
Commentary (Female):
NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs."
Announcers:
NORTH: Neutral and paid.
SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear
in his eye because he is so proud of his team.
After the Game:
NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.
SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker. While somebody goes to the
nearest package store for more bourbon, planning begins for next week's game.
Nothing else in the universe comes even halfway close to the glories of
Southern football .

There is this comedian who has a bit about being in the south and being inundated with the phrase,
"Ya'll want some sweet ice tea?" Every two seconds by a waitress in every diner or restaurent he went to. as a northerner he had never had any.
I love sweet ice tea!

Well Hey Y'all, I think I belong here.
I live in SC.
Pass the grits.
I live in SC.
Pass the grits.
I was born in FL and lived in several southern states. In my opinion, some are not so much southern as they are country or hillbilly (perhaps a distinction only a southerner would notice).
FL - only slightly southern in attitude, no real accent of its own but quite southern geographically
TN - hillbilly/country - very distinct dialect - different than southern, extremely hospitable and friendly but much more northern geographically.
So, I think southern (if you mean a certain attitude and dialect) has more to do with culture than geography.
~passes Red the cheese grits that Doub-ya-Dee fixed~
LMAO @ myself

Scuse me Mz. W, would that be PBC? Ifn so, then we was neighbors. I was born,raised, and still live here. My Daddy's folk have lived in Florida since the 1800's [they was cattle men, raising beef for the Spanish in Cuba] and my Mama's kin are from South Georgia.
Granted I have become homogenized by the diversity in South Florida, but still am Southern to the core. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God!
And...isn't Jax. considered L.G. [Lower Georgia]??? Just kidding!!

Wow....all the southern gals here.
Let's see I was born and raised in central Alabama, right in the heart of Dixie. Lived there until I was 22 years old....Married my husband, and moved to Texas. And except for a brief (18months) stay in Wisconsin, we've lived basically in the south ever since.
West Tx, does count as the south right?? LOL

It is a great place to live if you don't go out (to the beach or the clubs) during spring break and summer...lol... it is much more fun to visit.
It is an ordeal to simply drive to the store during spring break, especially when MTV is broadcasting from there. PCB is a small town (size-wise) but it is a tourist town, so many people are packed into a small, very hot area.

Yeah I totally agree. I was there in the "off season". I still had a blast. I don't think I'd like to be there during the spring break crowd. Not really my scene. Too easy to get into trouble LOL.
I also enjoyed my trip to Fort Walton Beach area too. They are pretty similar I imagine.

morningirl and i talk on the phone with frequent infrequency. She has this major southern drawl thing going that makes me scramble to keep up with her words sometimes. My dominant, Tex, has an accent that has to be heard to believed. Even standing there facing him, i still miss about one word in five. My California-born-and-raised ears just can't handle that drawl, i guess.
And grits, well, come on! That's not really people food. All y'all just laugh at us when we gamely try to eat it cuz you told us it was good, right? It's really for horses or rabbits or something, right?
