Warbird posted:And they were correct. I'm in Charlotte and the only actual southern things in this area are my nards. Now you go about 30 minutes in any given direction that isn't following I-77 and then you're in the South proper. Asheville and The Triangle have similar rules; the former being about 10 instead of 30. Yeah, Charlotte is a transplant town and also very fond of bulldozing any history/personality it has in favor of more apartment towers for banker bros. The most Southern thing about it is probably Bojangles or all the NASCAR stuff. For the most part, it's Generic American City, which is why I assume film crews loved setting up here. I still love it, though. Joey Freshwater posted:So you're the one other person that knows Orangeburg exists.

I had a great experience with the internship itself, but was very happy to drive home every day.

The original ACC members left WVU behind in the Southern Conference in the 50s and then the rest abandoned us in the Big East in the 2000s, so gently caress them all. We've got West right there in our names, I'm happy with our new conference mates to the west.

I grew up in Raleigh and currently reside in Atlanta. Not only is Charlotte about equidistant between the two as driving goes, it's equidistant in character – combining Atlanta's penchant for tearing everything down with Raleigh's boring-white-suburbanites-uber-alles genericness.

My grandfather is good buddies with a guy that owns like every McDonalds franchise in SC and is rich as poo poo. He owns more land in the town than any other entity, private, public or government. He builds man made lakes and stocks then with whatever fish he wants so he can just fish all day. He's pretty awesome Both him and my grandfather are super old (he's like 80ish) and say stuff like "that negro lady at chilis was mighty nice, I think I'll ask for her next time we go" but both of them voted for Obama. Both times. Hanging out with two dudes that are that old and have lived in a town that's that far off the map for so long is an interesting experience.

I think somewhere we covered Vince Young signing with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He's apparently going to be in a QB competition with Maty Mauk of all people. I don't know why the idea of this fascinates me but it does. e: Haha, never mind, the Roughriders already released Mauk after signing him like 2 days ago.

Crotch Bat posted:Their only natural rival comes from statehood not really against the backdrop of cultural differences or similarities. I don't know any non-UGA fans who actually hate GT because they're GT, at best they hate GT because of Paul Johnson, they're very benign I think because nobody can really figure out what to hate. They tried desperately to make a big deal out of VT coming to the ACC because they used to be the only Tech and VT fans just couldn't care until CPJ came on board and I suspect the second he's gone we'll go back to just not caring one way or the other about GT. They're a lovably neutral school who rarely makes enough noise to rouse people to think something about them. GT is one of our oldest rivalries, and the schools are only 2 hours away from each other. And a lot of Clemson folks hate GT plenty... I'd say they go back and forth with FSU for 2nd most hated team on Clemson's list. Joey Freshwater posted:So you're the one other person that knows Orangeburg exists. My grandfather has lived there for as long as I remember (He's 100 now) and I hate going to that town.

Yeah, the GT-Clemson rivalry has a lot going for it. Proximity, long history going back to when GT totally hosed Clemson by hiring John Heisman away from them, the urban/rural divide...

A Bryant-Heisman conference of the surviving major teams they coached would work pretty well for a small one: Maryland, Kentucky, A&M, Bama vs. Auburn, Clemson, GT, Rice.

Crotch Bat posted:Pitt, Mizzou, BC, and Cuse aren't a cultural fit with the rest of their conference. The other teams you could separate any way and still come out with similar results.

Stuff I hope my team fixes: - Install a new center and interior OL, LT too: They suck. Any one of us could have slid in and played center for FSU last year. We recruited the number 2 center in the previous cycle and he should be a RFr or Soph now. Hopefully he supplants the current one ASAP because oh god we start off against Alabama this year. -QB Deondre Francois makes the easy completions: He routinely got battered behind our offensive line, holding on to the ball way too long. He would make some insanely good throws as well, while dirting the intermediate and short routes, as well as check downs. There's a "Deondre Francois Punishment Reel" on youtube if you want to see how bad our OL is and how often he took hits, either from holding on to the ball too long or just the defenders hitting late. -Running Back committee: Freshman Cam Akers seems the best of the bunch, but there are a lot of very good RBs at FSU right now who all do different things very well. -Linebacker corps is sad and thin: This won't get fixed and there are like two or three game-ready LBs right now so halp -Don't allow Louisville to perform early 1900's prison experiments on us again: Hopefully our very new secondary doesn't play so lovely after a year of experience. This goes with coaching, as defensive coordinator Charles Kelly has retained his job as the defense...ugh...improved through the year somewhat. We lost (I think?) nationwide sack leader DE Demarcus Walker to the NFL, so we'll see how it shakes out.

I really loving hope Herman finds success, just like I wanted Strong to.

Stuff I hope Mizzou has fixed: 1. The Defense - It was all bad last year, outside of Charles Harris and, later in the year, Marcell Frazier. Also plz figure out the starting secondary. 2. Drew Lock - While I love his propensity to chuck it deep, he needs to get his completion percentage up. Hopefully, they let him read all of the field and not just half of it again this year. 3. J'Mon Moore - He has the ability to be one of the best receivers in the country, but has suspect hands, in both catching and holding onto the ball post-catch. He was the leading receiver in the SEC despite all this.

Things I Hope A&M fixes this season -Offensive consistency. Too many scoring droughts due to cute play calling, dropped passes, or bad OL play. -Stop the run. Guice and just about every other SEC running back/QB ran all over us for massive yardage last year and we could do nothing to stop them. -Tackling. Players got trigger happy after Tennessee and tried to force fumbles when a clean tackle would do. I get that this is probably part of Chavis's scheme, but it's still maddening to watch. -Stability at quarterback. Pretty self explanatory- I'm tired of the revolving door of QBs.

Things I Hope Ohio State Fixes This Year - Offensive playcalling that verged on Paul Johnson-like in overly relying on the run - Teach JT Barrett how to keep his balance and not tip his shoulders/shuffle his feet mid-throw. - Please teach the wide receivers how to properly run routes so that they're not doing things like making five step cuts on a slant - The Offensive Line was aggressively terrible on the right side last year, especially in pass blocking. Either Isaiah Prince gets fixed, or we will start 3 quarterbacks this year. - Use any one of the TEs on the roster for something other than blocking. - Abuse the blitz packages this year to generate some extra sacks/pressure
