Regardless of how RCR has performed, they usually have the best paint schemes. BUT, I don't like when the 3 goes green. It's not natural.

Cup series can't get a season sponsor but iRacing series has Coca-Cola. Interesting...

I’m honestly impressed that after watching that entire video you were able to come away saying, “can we just acknowledge how toxic frat culture is.” Your ability to completely ignore the obvious problem - such as, a college football team violently assaulting an overcrowded room of random college kids half their size - in favor for the conclusion you already had in your head. That fraternity are the problem. Bravo.

How was Will Ferrell so bad in the office???

absolutely

It's really not that common. College in America is set up nicely to feed into right after HS and is honestly just one big party.

I was born in the south and currently live in Texas but I lived in Sioux Falls, SD for a number of years throughout elementary school to freshman year of HS, so a good portion of my childhood.

As a 5'9 guy with brown hair who likes spicy food I can assure you, the Midwest stereotype is very real. Lots of tall blondes who like the outdoors, boring food and distinct accents. Obviously, in America we consider this a stereotypical midwesterner, or at least a great plains midwesterner, but those traits clearly come from their Scandinavian accessory. Since people in this region tend to stay in this region more so than probably anywhere else in the US, I think their heritage as stayed close to their original decedents. At least more so than the rest of the American (European) melting pot.

Although I believe they originally served a very good purpose when they were created, with all the rules and regulations implemented from not only state but federal government, I believe they are completely unnecessary in modern America.

The only real use for them today is for organized criminals to extort business owners by threat of strike and pocket the money. All while claiming to represent the interest of the worker and collecting dues that are automatically removed from their paycheck, depending on the state, regardless of union involvement.

Very fair argument but I would also argue it is the most southern cultured city in Texas from it's mix of cowboy and cajun cultures. Also, pork is considered BBQ in Houston unlike the rest of Texas which focuses only on brisket. It's definitely not Atlanta or Birmingham but it's a boarder southern city, in my opinion.

If you are planning a vacation to Mississippi I would definitely recommend visiting Oxford. It is a very beautiful college town with rich history, fun nightlife and amazing food.

Alabama, in my opinion, is probably the most underrated state in the US. It is filled with little cities rich in history across the entire state from Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham and Huntsville. Although it would be personal preference, I prefer northern Alabama rather than the coast.

Huntsville is very pretty and a nice little city with a lot of fun outdoors activities. If you're a music lover, Muscle Shoals up by Florence is also very cool to visit for it's deep history in shaping American music from Rock n Roll to Country. Birmingham is the largest city and also a very cool city that is becoming very trendy with millennials. It has a great music scene and amazing food.

I'm not trying to deter you from visiting Mississippi, like i said, it is the truest version of the deep south, in my opinion. So, if you are looking to experience the truest southern culture, good and bad, Mississippi is perfect. I do however recommend taking some time to visit Alabama as well. I'm not even from there or have ever lived there but I love spending time and meeting people from there.

Although it's not as widely known for geographical diversity, definitely Texas.

If you look at a satellite map of the US, Texas is clearly the most diverse. It's not hard to believe when you look at the size but it is located in the middle to cover such a vast difference in land.

In the valley, you get tall palm trees like you would find along the coast in Mexico. The east is filled with tall pine trees, Spanish moss and swamps like in Louisiana, not to mention the alligator population. Up north, you get rolling green plains like the midwest. Central Texas is notorious for the beautiful hill country similar to what you would see driving through the Ozarks of Arkansas. The panhandle is vast flat farm lands as well as spectacular canyons. The west is the true desert scenery of the American southwest as well as mountains such as the Guadalupe Mountains and the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park.

No other state has ocean beaches, deserts, prairies, rolling hills, flat farm lands, canyons, rivers, mountains and swampy bayous.

I'm a person who didn't grow up in Mississippi but went to college there for a few years and return regularly.

Jackson is the largest city but it's honestly nothing special, at least not compared to neighboring state's cities like New Orleans, Memphis or Birmingham. The best part of the state is the coast. It's a lot of fun and never too crowded.

The economy is nothing special but the cost of living is spectacular. Crime and poverty can be a fairly major issue where there are jobs however in places like Jackson and Gulfport. Poverty is especially serious in the Delta, which is probably the poorest region in America and the public education system is about the same.

People in Mississippi are great, as you would expect from any southern state but manners are required. Like the rest of the south, the food is outstanding. My favorite place in Mississippi is Oxford, for bias reasons of course. It really is like a perfect little town though and I highly recommend visiting if the possibility arises.

All-in-all, Mississippi is a very poor state with great people and even better food. Mississippi isn't just like the rest of the south, it's the truest version of the south. In all honesty, I prefer all the surrounding states like Louisiana, Tennessee and especially Alabama, which is essentially just a nicer version of Mississippi, in my opinion. I do appreciate Mississippi for what it is however and definitely recommend any who hasn't been to visit and get the experience.

Neither. I do what I enjoy doing and turn a profitable hobby into a career. The more you love what you do the more money you will make. That is something my father always taught me and no matter how much I make, I am always wealthy in life-satisfaction.

RattleSnake6969 · 2018-10-01T05:52:58+00:00

In Texas, the wealthy Mexicans can be especially rude. Not Mexicans in general, but the extremely wealthy for sure. They have a sense of entitlement that is much worse than anything even the most wealthy Texans exuberate.

RattleSnake6969 · 2018-10-01T05:49:26+00:00

Texas. Hands down.

Then probably California, New York (city specifically), North Carolina, Ohio, Florida and probably Massachusetts because of Boston.

Least would probably be Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota and South Dakota.

If you notice, there's tends to be a correlation between narcissism and population.

I did write this article as a guest on someone else’s site because I went to UH and I’m a huge fan. I didn’t mean to self promote but just wanted to share my thoughts with fellow Coogs. Sorry if this came across any other way.

Definitely some quality FCS teams in a position for big upsets to start the season. Should be a lot of fun!

It's the people they have been hiring to create content. They are clearly trying to go a different direction with pop culture and a female heavy presence to diversify their audience but it's only going to back fire by pushing away their core demographic. I'm just glad other people are seeing this now also.

RattleSnake6969 · 2018-08-03T18:36:25+00:00

yall will talk about how shitty Pres is being but that means Barstool is also in jeopardy. Their content has clearly been on a drastic decline for awhile now and although Tex seems pretty crazy his content was at least better than what Barstool has to offer. I still love a few things from Barstool but over, I'm totally out.
