I lived in Ohio so long my relatives started having Southern accents.
I have family that started in Michigan, moved to North Carolina, then to Minnesota.  My uncle, his voice has never changed.  His wife, who lived her first 30 years in Michigan, picked up a southern accent almost immediately upon moving to North Carolina; lived there about 15 years, moved to Minnesota, and now sounds like a supporting character from Fargo.

My cousin, their daughter, was born in Michigan, but moved to NC when she was 2, then Minnesota in HS, same as her mom, but less pronounced.  Her brother, who was born in NC, but then moved to Minnesota at about 13, has neither a southern or a Minnesota accent, same as my uncle, his father.

And, come to think of it, my late father in law, raised in small-town Duncan, OK, said "worsh."  He left there in his teens, and was an educated man, but some of the ways he learned to talk stayed with him his whole life.
I remember my 9th grade history teacher in Gadsden, AL, dropped the "r" in words like "washer" but added an "r" to the end of "window."
I always wanted to hear conversations between folks from Maine/N.H./Vermont and those from Southern Al./Miss/Louis

The biggest one I've noticed in Pittsburgh is the dropping of "to be".  So it's "the car needs washed."

The wife of course has an accent.  Folks will meet here and often ask if she's from Germany, which annoys her though she doesn't show it.

She does not sound German at all of course.

My step son in SF has zero accent in either French or English.   None.

I recall listening to a Podcast that Michiganders put an "s" on the end of stores that don't have them, and it seems to trace back to Henry Ford, that it wasn't just Ford, it was his actual company.  It was his plant.  Ford's plant.  I took a test, and failed miserably on which chains actually have an S at the end of them.

The biggest one I've noticed in Pittsburgh is the dropping of "to be".  So it's "the car needs washed."
"The living room needs vacuumed."  "The windows need washed."  "The oil needs changed."  I say those things.
I don't say, "the book needs read," and I'm not sure what the distinction is.

Why would UGA pout? DSOR would be in the annual East rotation. The only issue would be Bama's permanent cross-divisional opponent. Personally i wouldn't care if Bama played neither the barn nor ut on an annual basis.


You're in the VAST minority.

UGA would have no dog (pun intended) in the fight. And the obvious reference to LSU-UF is surprising. LSU fans bitch and moan about it all the time. I rarely hear a UF fan complain. Neither have a legitimate complaint because the two schools, with no guns to their heads, scheduled each other for 36 of the 39 years prior to the "invented" match up in 1992. With the exception of 1968-1970, they played every year from 1953-1991, with UF holding a slight 17-16-3 advantage. Wonder why the SEC thought they might be rivals?
Pre-expansion, Florida played Miss State every year, and that'd have been just as random. 
So in a conference broken into regional divisions, they decided to match up the westernmost and easternmost teams.  Brilliant. 


I'm not complaining about being paired up with LSU specifically, I'm just pointing out that it was all about ALA-AUB-UGA-UTK and the rest of the conference was just a 2nd thought.  As long as Bama gets the Vols and Auburn gets UGA, the rest of us were put into a bingo cage and paired up willy-nilly.



Why wasn't LSU paired with Kentucky?  They'd played them more than they had the Gators.  LSU-UK.  UF-MSU.  Just as random, just as (in)defensible.

When Georgia Tech was in the SEC, they refused to play either Mississippi team for many decades.  It's kind of amazing.

Good riddance.

This was one of the arguments used against having a x-div rival in the original B12.  Aside from Nebraska-Oklahoma, the rest of the pairings would have been pretty random and meaningless.  I think it would have been worth it to preserve that as an annual rivalry, but nobody asked me to make the decisions back in 1995.

I think the most likely pairing for Texas would have been Colorado, and that would have been fine with me.  Over the late 80s/early 90s, the Longhorns and Buffs had played several times and established a little bit of a mini-rivalry already, so seeing that increase and deepen would have been a lot of fun, I think.

I recall doing some unrelated research but seeing many years  pre-SEC-expansion where LSU didn't play several SEC schools.  It seems to me that up until maybe the 80s, the SEC was a relatively loose confederation of schools that had some coincidental scheduling but not a lot of hardcore rules about it.  That was just my interpretation when I saw that data, though I really have no idea.

Looking at randomly-selected years....Florida vs:
1982 
SEC:  MSU, LSU, Vandy, Aub, UGA, UK
OOC:  Miami (annual), USC, West Texas A&M?, Tulane, FSU (annual)
-
1977
SEC:  MSU, LSU, Tenn, Aub, UGA, UK
OOC:  Rice, Pitt, Utah, Miami, FSU
-
1973
SEC:  MSU, LSU, Bama, Ole Miss, Aub, UGA, UK
OOC:  KSU, Southern Miss, Miami, FSU
-
-
-
When they were figuring all this out in 1989/1990, Florida vs Auburn was a huge game.  No, it wasn't "The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry", but with the expansion and divisions, it was gone.  Yes, we played LSU all the time, but we also played MSU as well.  With only 6 conference games, it looks like it was mostly 5 set games and 2 revolving door spots....and not even a set number of games ('73).
