A Buffer Gay Dude posted:UW has a weirdo regional advantage of a pipeline of religious Pacific Islanders, it’s honestly a very underrated thing. Is UW's advantage there more significant than the rest of the coastal schools? Big rear end Polynesian dudes are/were a staple of the whole Pac-12 and Mountain West in my estimation.

Not really it’s just that UW and UO are the big dogs in the region and get the best ones (BYU and Utah sometimes snag some for obvious reasons).

Sark leaves for USC, Taggart leaves for FSU, Cristobal leaves for Miami, AD Cohen leaves for USC... Maybe one day people will stop leaving the PNW for "dream" jobs, it doesn't seem to work out very often.

GD_American posted:There's maybe 5-6 cities in the country that have anything you just can't get anywhere else (see that Tennessee Williams quote about New Orleans). We are an extremely homogenized society. ehhhhhhhhh I agree things are relatively homogenized but there are much stronger regional variations than people acknowledge. The bigger difference though is between a place with a small/midsized city and major cities. It's a completely different lifestyle. I can't pretend to know what they're into, but the main point is your lifestyle is radically different in a big city vs less populous places in the country, even moreso in those 3-4 major cities. And maybe he doesn't give a poo poo about any of that but he does have a wife and kids, who have to actually interact with the local amenities while he's working 100 hrs a week. Idk, I've moved around a lot and the more I've seen the more noticeable the lifestyle differences are between regions of the country & urban vs suburban vs rural. Being rich solves the dollar/sqft issue and access to luxe poo poo but that's about it. It's a moot point bc obviously he doesn't care about anything but his own ambition, I just can't pretend that the gulf coast is a place you should live if you don't absolutely have to. Fluffdaddy posted:Tuscaloosa is not even close to as barren as South Dakota wtf are you talking about True but its about 100x more beautiful and if you're an outdoors/nature guy it rules. Also Tuscaloosa isn't exactly a bustling metropolis here. guys the gulf coast is loving awful, you're not gonna convince me it's a good option over almost anywhere else in the country

yes its probably better to live in seattle than alabama - but the people it matters for isn't the coach, it's their family, and shockingly people who actually care about where their families want to live (or take their families likes/dislikes into consideration) do not coach at elite football schools. its a group of sociopaths.

Californians are literally moving to Nashville (where I live now) and are displacing black and brown people by driving the housing cost so high to where we can no longer afford to live here. I know this isn't the politics forum but looking at actual ethnically diverse places (most of the south) and talking about how trash it is loving sucks and you should feel bad for doing it. Anyways, Roll Tide.
