The Muck will forever rule!*





*It has diminished some since all the governmental social engineering has eliminated the need to “excel or do manual labor“ motivation.

South Carolina has produced a bunch of really good athletes.

They may not have the sheer volume as regions like South FL, Houston, Southern Cali, ATL etc...
But in terms of just pure quality of players, they stack up with any region.

Some of the best players in the league are from South Car.

They have some great family bloodlines in that state - Geathers, Boulware. et al have produced serious athletes alone.

I live in Rock Hill/Clover area. To have 24 players in the league from a town this small is crazy. Obvious the South Florida has more, but there’s also 50x the population.

No telling how many of those cats are actually from right across the state line in Charlotte

It’s definitely possible, but I think it has more to do with nothing else really going on here.

I know at one time the Muck produced an incredible number of NFL studs relative to the population out there. Rock Hill seems to be killing it.

I have a buddy from there. He refers to that area as "The Upstate" I thought that is in the area of Rock Hill? He's from near Greenville and tells me it's super good football through there. Never heard of South Cak though. Thanks!

New Orleans is under-represented because of Katrina. A ton of families got displaced and never came back, usually because they had no insurance and nothing to come back to. End result, 18 years later, is you've got a bunch of families/dudes scattered all over the country who really would otherwise be in New Orleans.

South Cak is a reference to the nickname of South Carolina which is South Cackalacky...

I used to go to the NC vs SC high school all-star game every year and those lines were always loaded. That's where I saw Zion Nelson for the first time and he was holding his own.. I think it was against Zacch Pickens when he really impressed me. He might have been 235 at the time against a 285 pound Pickens during the week of practice.

Schools in Spartanburg are routinely playing for the state championship as well.

it would have been top notch journalism to list all of the NFL players, but I guess their keyboard broke
