"an entire aisle at the grocery store dedicated to grits" Really? And we all have sex with our sisters too, right? What a snob. Explaining southern football passion to this guy would be like trying to teach a pig to read a watch. RTR

Saw on ESPN last night, a presentation on very devoted AL football fans overjoyed that their team is in the BCS title game again.

Some of the nicest, most polite people I’ve ever met were in Savannah, GA.

Saw videos, including one of a father wearing a copy of the famous hat worn by the legendary coach Bear Byrant, finding out that his Christmas gift was a ticket to the BCS Bowl game.

The so-called civil war as we were taught in school was about doing right, but the reality was it was a war the central government waged on We The People. It was nothing short of Democide led by lincoln, the worst president in US history.

I live in a 'southern' town of about 14k population. It has a Christian college with about 1,500 students.

A couple of years ago, I was in a local grocery. A woman ahead of me in the aisle was talking on her cellphone and was talking loud enough that I could hear bits of her conversation. I assumed she was unfamiliar with the area, and so I assumed that she was a parent or relative of a college student at the local college.

At the end of one aisle, she stopped her cart and exclaimed to the listener, " ... and they have guns for sale ... IN THE GROCERY STORE."

I had to maneuver to get passed her and I saw the 'gun' in her comment. I was a rifle, but not full sized. I think it was either a plastic toy or a BB-type rifle. I chuckled and went on about my shopping.

I’ll say it is. NBC Sports’ high dollar product vs ESPN’s high dollar product.

The only problem I have with this game is that I can’t root for a tie.

Hope you guys enjoy it, but I don’t like either one of them.

"Notre Dame is the nation’s team. Or, at least, the union’s."

Well bless your heart.

The author is correct that the Alabama/Notre Dame "rivalry" dates to 1966; but he's way off on all his cultural comments.

And he missed the importance of 1966. It wasn't just that Alabama, as the only undefeated/untied team was passed over. It was that the 1966 title would have meant three in a row for Alabama.

“The inferiority complex is still there in the South, where people think Northerners look down on them”

Surely he jests...Southerners think Northerners look down upon them? What would give him that idea? The irony is rich with this one.

But trust me, that attitude is met with a chuckle, and certainly not an ‘inferiority complex’. Exhibit A would be the exodus of people from Northern hell holes, and the population boom in the South. The South is a great place to live, and the people know it.

Catholics vs Cousins? More like Catholics vs Baptists except that college kids participation in church isn't that high these days. The hype of media around these BIG games is always to find something to whip up emotion amoung the masses. Nothing like calling us Southern boys hicks to rile us up I guess. I expect Bama to beat Notre Dame back to the middle ages in a not so good game from a stats perspective. Then every one will hit South Beach and get royaly drunk in a city that is neutral ground, neither northern nor southern.

I lived a good part of my life as a ‘yankee’ in Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. I’ve never seen a grits aisle...even in Piggly Wiggly.

Go ‘Bama! I’m an Aggie who was skeptical of our move to the SEC. Well, I’m glad we did. We fit in with the other schools. We our proud of our Southern heritage.
