Gueydan, La. Town of about 1500.
BristolWhere in NE TN
I'm an Escambia County boy myself, grew up in Cantonment. I went to Tate and was a sophomore when we beat Columbus for the State Championship in 1980. When I was younger I was a HUGE Dolphins fan, **** I didn't even know there was such a thing as The University of Miami. But a senior on my HS team (Danny Brown) got a schollie to The U. I was an instant fan. When they won their first NC a couple of years later it cemented it and I've been a fan ever since. There are very few of us up here, mostly Row Tye Retards, Turds, and Semenholes.Not where you reside now, but your hometown where you grew up?
My family bounced around North Florida like some carnival workers, but we probably spent the most time in rural Escambia County (actually closer to Mobile, Alabama than Pensacola) and Daytona Beach.
Not many Canes in either of those places.
That explains a lot.I was born in a dimly lit forest and raised by wolves.
The question came to mind listening to sports talk while in San Antonio last week. They were talking college football and the media guest said there were only two "true" national programs: Notre Dame and Miami.
He said even though schools like Alabama and Ohio State and Texas and others have huge fan bases, those fans are concentrated primarily in one state or region.
He said with both Miami and Notre Dame, there is a high percentage of the fan base that has no geographic connection to the university or the football program. They were just College Football fans who liked The Canes or the Irish for whatever reasons.
The show's host actually agreed with the media guy on his point, which I thought was surprising for somebody from Texas.
Really liked it the short time I was there.That's funny haven't listened to any sports shows here but im from Bartow (Polk County )
But i reside in San Antonio now
Got my bachelors in M’ville.From Leesburg Ga.

I've only been here almost two years now was just getting used to the city then covid happen lol but I usually spend my free time in Austin or HoustonReally liked it the short time I was there.

Funny thing is Dallas and Houston are by far my least two favorite cities — and they're like two peas in a pod.
But San Antone wasn't anything like either of those two.
When did you grow up?
Where at? I live in canton. Grew up in Lutherville areaJust outside of Charm City (Baltimore for those of you who don't know) hon!
And nowhere near that cesspool now, thankfully! LOL
