oh boy, not this again!

I'd agree with CD's breakdown of the bluebloods.

But not his take on chili.  He can't really help it though, that spaghetti sauce in Cincinnati has really screwed with his conception of the dish.

I "got used" to Cincy Chili, mainly by thinking it isn't chili, but a kind of weird spaghetti.  With a lot of cheese.  And onions.
I still made my own fairly routinely at home, "real chili", or the best I could make, usually with ground beef, onion, diced tomatoes, etc.  I had a friend who freeze dried chili powder each year with about 20% garlic I found it good stuff, variable year over year, but good.
For some reason, I really like onion.  Cincy chili has a lot of uncooked onion in it, as a rule.  Blue Ash Chili had 6-ways which included fried jalapenoes and I get that, no bean.  Which was a 5 way of course.

Knock it off Crap game these are beautiful people

Sandwiches have a lot of weird names, depending on the region.  Hoagies?  Grinders?  Submarines?  

Down here one of my Tex-Mexican buddies brings a taco to work and calls it a sandwich.  No lie.

Is he an Earl?

No, he's a Benny.
Short for Benito of course.
Also, I usually add diced raw onion to a bowl of chili.  And shredded cheese, could be cheddar or jack or whatever you have lying around.  True Mexican cheeses like Oaxaca or Queso fresco work nicely too.

Plenty of beans down here.  They go inside the tacos, or next to the enchiladas.  Obviously not in chili though, because then it wouldn't be chili.

Negative waves, negative waves.

Kelly they will hear my detroit motors long before I get into the center of town

AC, I think you have an awfully narrow definition of Helmet teams. It's college football's measure of reputation. You see it, you recognize it, and it gets a boost because of its history. And yes, there are gradations. But if the team won't be left out of the top 25 if it is 3-0, no matter what teams it has played and beaten, then it is getting a boost from its name. 3-0 VaTech is in the Top 25. Same for Wisconsin, Auburn, LSU, Georgia...If Miami or Florida State starts the season hot--they get noticed in a hurry. Much faster than Oregon State or Purdue. Again, Maryland and Wisconsin have the same record and each has a home loss to an unranked mid-major. Maryland has a win on the road over a ranked opponent. Wisconsin is #16 in the AP, Maryland is #35. That's Wisconsin getting a nod based on its history, not its current results. That's the helmet pushing it along.
