[split] Good Frank the Tank Article on B1G Expansion...
(02-20-2013 08:03 PM)Tiger8589 Wrote:  There in lies the problem for the Big 10. It's not all about Football to the Big 10 but make no mistake about it to the SEC it is. Those that don't live in the south don't understand it or get it. They might read this and that or think they do but you have to understand marriage of college football and the South. It's different than any other part of the country.

You can believe it or not, talking head sports writers from Chicago, New York, and LA don't have a clue how strong the ruthlessness and passion is when it comes to SEC Football in the south.

Totally believe it. . .

. . . Which is why some Southerners can't understand that even some schools from the South will leave for the really big money, which is research dollars as explained in the earlier linked article. This will go right over the heads of those who think it's all about football. It's not for the Big Ten.

RE: Good Frank the Tank Article on B1G Expansion...
the SEC just added two AAU schools. I can tell u what southerners do understand...how to build cars. Would it surprise anyone to know North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama (I think) all have auto assy plants. Wonder why those auto manufactures decided the south and not the rust belt? Just look at how many jobs have been lost in the rust belt. The South and Texas is already the only parts of the entire country friendly to business, that's why you see such changes in demographics and the huge population shifts to the south. This is along term tread.

The south still has a long way in providing quality education and good paying jobs. Those plants you mentioned are opening in south do too lower cost of employees but still is no bargain when the highest number of people living under the national standard of living is in the south, lowest educational level is in the south and highest number of people without health insurance is in the south.

oh my goodness, i don't believe that for one minute...you pay a worker in the south 17/20 dollars and hour they give everything they have to a company.....u do that in the rust belt the strike. Thats all a bunch of BS....just like my house could sell for 100,000 grand, in Cali it sells for 750,000 exact same house. Those rust belt states, Cali, Ill, NY are all on the verge of bankruptcy because of unfunded liabilities ...real smart people huh.

Doesn't change the fact that the south has a long way to go in improving education, health and living standards for most of their population. Now you might want to try to make it a north-south issue or a liberal-conservative issue, but as I said those points that are stated are true.

Like the original savings and loan scandal of the 1980's that was centered in Texas?

Like the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 which hit hardest across the Sun Belt from Nevada & Arizona to Georgia & Florida?

Fact is that the greatest concentration of wealth in the country is in the Northern liberal states and is transferred through taxes and government programs to southern states and mountain states.

They began moving down here because the materials and energy resources to ring e plants were more plentiful a and cheaper here. Get out a map and locate where the materials for autos come from, and you'll see a bunch of car plants nearby.

I hate it when sports boards morph into political boards. I'm still trying to figure out where in North Carolina there is an auto plant.

I wasn't talking about Cali. And I know all about the cost of raw material because I actually work in purchasing and I also know about lean manufacturing and holding cost down. And I know BS when I see it.

Daimler Truck plant, NC.


Now, lets get back to expansion and forget all this political BS.

You stupid ****. We don't take nearly as much back from the system as you stupid, tax-loving, union-loving Yanks.

Funny thing about it is that we (the working southerner) don't want your ******* help. You Holier than thou intellectuals thinking you've got to "save" the ignorant southerner makes me want to puke. You can take that pompous attitude, turn it sideways and shove it right up your ass. That's not how it works down south bud.

Look at what you've got up there now.... unions have practically destroyed the automobile industry and drove the cost of living through the roof in the Northeast. Michigan FINALLY figured it out apparently. It's no wonder some of the more sensible Yankees are moving south.

Ha ha ha!!! You're doing that to yourselves. You might need to go back to one of your liberal professors for a better argument. 03-lmfao

States with highest tax burden (2012).
1. NY
2. NJ
3. CT

4. CA
5. WI
6. RI
7. MN
8. MA
9. PA
10. MA


So.... 7 of the 10 are in the Northeast and 8 of the 10 are what I'd call Yankee States. 10 of 10 are Union states and Blue States.
