Noted.
I can't believe anyone has fewer fans than Miami, though.  Selling out their NFL stadium?  There are about 2 teams the Canes can host that will help sell it out:  Florida and FSU.  The rest of their games, you never have to pay face value. 
Not just those two teams. They don't anymore- but when they played Penn State, ND- well I guess they do play ND now that ND has half-joined the ACC- but when they play helmet teams like that- the helmet team fans fill their stadium. That's literally the only time they can fill the NFL stadium- when they have fans from other teams fill it lol.

Where is Urban living now?  If it's still Ohio then Austin would be a monumental upgrade.
isn't that TV show he's on shot in LA?

fixed it for you.

New Orleans area probably has a strong case to have highest concentration of talent per capita however.

The Metro Atlanta area and South FL have wayyyyyyyy more people. 6+ million in Metro Atlanta and nearly 10 million in South Florida. The entire state of Louisiana doesn't even have 5 million people.
Yeah, but I don't consider South FL to be "The South". Yeah, I guess technically it's located there, but it's a completely different beast. 

I feel the same way about Chicago. Although it's geographically located in the Midwest, it's such a large city that I think it's not "Midwestern" in the way that say Indianapolis or St Louis or Milwaukee is. 

When I think of the character of Atlanta, or Spartanburg, or Charlotte, I don't think that South FL resembles that in any meaningful way.

Being arrogant about a certain part of a state must be fun.  I'll have to try that sometime.

And for having only 5 million people, that's their fault.
you should hear the folks from Eastern Iowa

it's even worse in South Dakota.  There it's East River or West River

Sh!t rolls downhill. In Chicago, when we wanted to make fun of slack-jawed yokels, we made fun of Indiana. In Indiana, they did the same, but the target became Kentucky. Not sure who Kentuckians look down on, but I'm sure there's someone.

In Texas we have a saying-- "Arkansas, the only state Oklahoma can make fun of."

Atlanta really isn't a southern city beyond the obvious location aspect of it.

Miami is a small private school in a rich suburb where homes routinely sell for $5, $10, $15, $20, $30, even upwards of $50 million. An old piece of crap 1,200 sq ft home on barely over a tenth acre on a zero lot line in Coral Gables will cost you $700k minimum. It's not some college town that lives and breathes football. It's most very rich people, that really don't give a shit about that sport. They like tennis, golf, polo- you know- rich people sports.
Fair enough. Then GT is a school full of nerds without a logo as iconic as Miami or a vocal supporter close to Campbell (his fame might be overrated, but it dwarfs any person who could make Tech cool).

GaTech was a pretty consistent power under Bobby Dodd when most of you guys were not envisioned yet.  They also only had white kids for quite a long time, I don't know when they started having any number of black players on the team, 1975 maybe.

Dodd had some kind of ruckus with Bear Bryant 1963ish and that was part of the reason they left the SEC.

When I was in HS, my dream was to play basketball at Tech.

He departed in 1966. Jim Harbaugh was just 3.

hahaha. I like it. 

I have to admit. I always liked Texas. I don't know why. Maybe the uniforms and Ricky Williams and VY. 

Would be nice to see Texas make a comeback on the national stage.

I didn't know anything about Joe Rogan and his following, until folks said this exact same thing on the Longhorn message boards on some of the "Urban Meyer or bust" threads. :)

I remember him in Newsradio and I knew he did that show where people eat cockroaches though I never really watched it.  But I had no idea he had such a large podcast following.  I might have to give him a listen, now that he and I are neighbors.
Maybe Alex Jones can have you both on his show
