"College football has been conquered, in nearly every respect, by the Deep South."

Darren Everson

In an article for The Wall Street Journal about the rise of Southern football and the broader implications about America.  Even as a Big Ten graduate with a bias for that conference I have to agree.

Within the article political consultant James Carville, an LSU alumnus jokes that "half the people in that stadium can't spell LSU." when the discussion turns to the impact football has on the South's culture.  Don't know about that but it might have something to do on why they call the Unverversity of Mississippi Ole Miss.

Fascinating read.
