Differences Between Northern And Southern Football
Being from the North and now LIVING in the South - I've seen the differences between football up there and down here, first hand! We spoke about it on the show this morning and I just had to share some insight (with some help from others)
Stadium Size:
NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people
SOUTH: High school stadium hold 20,000 people
Homecoming Queen:
NORTH: Also a physics major.
SOUTH: Also Miss America.
Heroes:
NORTH: Rudy Giuliani
SOUTH: Paul "Bear" Bryant
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: Teacher 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 tie, the University opens the campus for the game parking.
SOUTH: RV's sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities.
Commentary at the game (guys):
NORTH: "Nice play"
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs!"
Commentary at the game (women):
NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs!"
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 and planning next week's game festivities.
