Update….UGA lost to FSU today, 8-2. Further support for my assertion that the SEC is known for being narrow and choke prone. I hear no takers for this convo. You boys must be “skeered.”

Please let me remind you that UGA also lost that world series last year. Talking about a choke, were you? Oh yes, choke, much like that funeral you dressed for last year against Alabama, you goon! The ACC had an all-time NCAA record number of teams in bowl games last year; and last year’s SEC’s record vs the ACC, in your “forte sport,” was 6-4. To clarify, that’s SIX W’s for the ACC, sir. Also, current basketball champs – ACC. Highest all-time College World Series baseball appearances for a conference – ACC. The last time ACC was in the College World Series? That would be In 2007 when UNC went to the CWS consecutively. Last time the ACC “one” (sic – hello SEC grad.) the championship was Miami in 2001. LSU has been to the CWS 13 times – pretty good. This is the most of any SEC school. UGA? Only 6. Miami has been 23 times, FSU – 19, Clemson – 11, shall I go on? Also, didn’t Vanderbilt loose to, gasp, Duke last year? And your Ole Miss crew to, Wake Forest? Of course, who is counting. Just know that still waters run deep – the facts lie in the stats. SEC is good, don’t get me wrong. But the statistical, documented facts show the ACC is well-rounded while the SEC, again, is a one-trick pony. Giddy Up, y’all! Or, in language you might understand…”The south will rise again!!!!!!!!” “Hold my beer,” “Where’s my truck!?” “You got a purty mouth!”

Florida also has one of the highest high school dropout rates in the country (Google: High school dropout factories). I have traveled all over the south and found that every area has good people and idiots. It has little to do where you live. The ACC is better at baseball? Which ACC team last one the national title? UGA vs Fresno State last year. neither is from the ACC. The ACC is the choke conference. Check out the results of the bowl games.

Gov Crist impostor, I have lived in New Smyrna Beach, FL and Atlanta and I’ve travelled extensively across the southeast and I can assure you that you’re wrong.

You infidels will soon learn that the mighty Barack is going to tax Florida out of existence. Generally speaking, the showing of skin in that state is against the kuran and allah will take names. If you don’t beleive that you can leave my convenience store immediatly!

Berto,

Haven’t you seen the wonders of Panama City? Nothing is better than seeing hammered 19 year olds, visting chincy beach shops, and enjoying the ghetto by the sea. Florida is tops.

Right Crist, People that live in states other than Florida have absolutely nothing to do, ever. What would we all do without Florida to save us from our boredom?

While the ACC does dominate in basketball, baseball, and academics… Not hot chicks. I promise you, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, and Georgia have more hot girls than the entire ACC. Trust me.

It looks like someone got turned down by an SEC school. Let it go man. Let it go. Irrefutably dominates in baseball and basketball? Get over yourself.

Sorry, but this article is talking about states, not sports teams, right?! Then why in the world would its ignorant author put “Sorry Gators” as if UF is the only significant university OR football program in that state. I smell an SEC bias…SEC=Sloppily Educated Citizens. FSU and Miami are also very, very storied programs, not to mention outstanding universities — AND they belong to a conference that is superior in every way to the SEC, with the lone exception being football. The ACC clearly and irrefutably dominates SEC in baseball, basketball, academics (by a BIG margin) and arguably – hot chicks. The ACC’s worst academic schools would be top tier in the SEC. Who do you have…Vanderbilt is good, and maybe UGA and UF (and their heads are a little inflated, too). The football gap is closing you moronic rednecks, leaving the SEC to be a one horse show, and you know, no body cares about watching a horse show when you can see Cirque du Soliel next door for the same price of admission. Oh yeah, and get a decent education, too. Go ahead – lets hear the bellyaching on this one!

People who use Facebook are probably the same people who cares what drivel Ashton Kutcher has to say on Twitter. (hint: idiots)

Actually, Floridians have more interests in their lives than people from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas or Idaho. Great beaches, great seafood, golf courses all over the State, and on and on and on.

Maybe football fans down south typically think that Facebook is for sissies, so they don’t have a Facebook membership…

Florida must not have many internet savvy people. I lived in Sanford, FL for a while and it was pretty much a redneck area. It makes sense, really.

This has to be unscientific. You have Idaho and Hawaii but no mention of Ohio. The most rabid high school fans in the country. Oh well, it was a fun read anyhow.
