So while I don't think chanting SEC has anything to do with "[censored] the north", the atmosphere surrounding the war may have helped contribute to this attitude of "togetherness" the SEC seems to have.

With that being said, I still hope Auburn is swallowed by a large sinkhole of raw sewage and Phat Phuck Phil chokes to death on a twinkie. And while we're at it, screw Bama too. And geaux to hell Ole [censored]! I think that about covers it.

I would agree with this. That while it isn't a north-south thing now, the war of northern aggression created the us vs "the world" atmosphere that is prelevant now. And that applies to southern non-sec schools in florida and and georgia and virginia, in addition to the northern schools. SEC fans take pride in their conferance.

I hate auburn and phat phil and bama as well, but for some reason, i root for them in their bowls. Especially Auburn, that is team i hate the worst. Good grief, i hate auburn...hate em

I root for the Big 10 in bowls as well, however, I would never start a "BIG.......TEN" chant at a game though.


I find the S...E...C chant hilarious. Keep it up.

To answer your question, yes the North won. To dive a little deeper, I think the resentment that still lingers is more from Reconstruction than the war itself. The Reconstruction period was brutal for southerners, and that probably has more to do with riff that still lingers between the two regions. Probably why most (if not all) State Capitol buildings in the South face the South. Of course, this is all just guesses on my part, but it's all I could come up with.

In Ohio, we like all the states...'cept one.

I would hope the same for _ichigan, but I dislike the state so much, I don't care to see any improvement.

Can't say I feel that way about our neighbors. Louisiana pretty much ranks 49th in all meaningful economic and education categories. If not for Mississippi, we'd be dead last. So I kinda hope those rednecks don't go anywhere.
