Texas is too far down on your list. I would say it is around number 4 if not number 3. Texas is becoming heavily urbanized with thousands of Midwesteners and Californians moving in every year. It is even slowly but surely starting to attract people from the Northeast now. There is no way Texas is more southern than Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, or South Carolina. This is a state that political experts are saying that Texas could be a swing state politically in 2012 and can become a blue state in 2016.
The South has EXCELLENT SCHOOLS. And Yankees flock by the dozen to get in
UVA, William and Mary, Duke , Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, U. of Richmond, College of Charleston, Augusta State, Tulane U, UNC, Auburn
Just to name a few. Plus we're not all hung about our schools as if thats the only thing we have going for us.
I'm reading some contradictions here.
For one, you obviously ARE hung up on schools if you accuse other regions of doing so after listing a litany of universities and colleges in a classic case of one-upmanship. Now, how many of these are Ivy League schools?
Second contradiction: 3 of those schools aren't Southern at all, but Mid-Atlantic schools.

No, ALL of those schools are Southern. They are listed and acredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Colleges
Ahh, but are they Ivy League? And three of them are in the Mid-Atlantic.
And aren't YOU a bit hung up on schools, when in actuality you accused other regions of the same?
No, they are ALL Southern schools.

Anyway, I don't see Arkansas, Alabama or Mississippi losing their southern roots any time soon.
