LMFAO how are you going to call me out for not providing evidence when you have yet to make a single effort to do any such thing to back up your ridiculous claim??
How many cities in South Carolina can you name w/o Googling? LOL you're ridiculous. And you have yet to state how the West Coast cities named earlier don't have anything in common. Where's your evidence??? And simply repeating "you haven't shown any so that makes me correct" is not sufficient.
The funniest part here is you're actually arguing as though there is much similarity between the South and the NE.
Again...lol...kind of like the way you're doing with Alaska? Try again.
I'm not the one making a claim that the South is LIKE the NE. I'm saying that Alaska is UNLIKE the West coast (which you're trying so hard to argue)
I never said the West coast cities don't have anything in common. YOU said that West-coast cities have "more in common than NYC does Miami etc." (remember that part? That smack-head icon you keep using doesn't appear to be working...it's causing memory-loss on your part)
Sorry, fam, but your argument is riddled with holes. You're telling me that -
-East coast cities North/south aren't culturally like. (you want to make that claim...fine)
-Then you say West coast cities are MORE culturally like (you want to make that claim...fine)
-When I ask you how this is so, all you tell me is that 'I'm' not providing YOU proof. (cop-out). If anything, if I'm not providing you 'proof' as you say then you're just as guilty as I am.
So here goes:
What does NYC have in common with Miami? Many NY'ers/NJ'ans move/retire to Florida to escape taxes/go on vacations/own summer homes. Why? Because Florida is seen as a liable alternative. Additionally, both Florida and the NE have high latino populations.
I've never heard of Honolulu to Anchorage or Portland. I could be wrong though but how would you know? You've probably never been to either.
The only thing wrong with the East Coast map is the fact that the southern states are striped. If it's on the coast, well its the coast. Miami is on the coast on the eastside of the country so it's a eastcoast city. Same goes for Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington, and VA Beach.
I dont see the big deal and if you don't want to call it East coast, well it's the Southeast.
For people to say that DC is where the east coast stops....I guess the west coast stops at San Francisco or Portland...
I don't care either way.
BTW, this is considered the South: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/US_map-The_South_Modern_.png (broken link)
I just posted these because that's how most encylopedias see it, and arguably the whole World as well.
It appears the East needed 2 seperate handicaps to come close to the West in this poll.
1) Including most of the South.
2) Taking away Hawaii from the West.

sometimes I think only about 10% of this board has actually traveled outside of a tri state area...
clearly many people on here have a warped perspective of u.s. in a cultural context.
Yeah the SEC rules, but I like Texas and Oklahoma also.....
I agree, Texas can compete with any school in the SEC. Fla vs TX in Pasadena for the National Championship I'm already calling it. And Colt McCoy for Heisman.

I don't like texas but the talent load they had around ricky williams and up to current was/is insane...it is in miami 80s, fsu 90s league and usc 2000s league easily. I did pull for texas vs. usc though...vince young was more impressive than r.bush to me.

Okay...let's say we subtract the south (which is at least a continuous coast and not an island in the middle of the Pacific). And go ahead and take the West.
Handicaps like...? Top richest states are in the east. Largest media market...east. Closer major cities...east. Financial capital of the country...east.
So yes...the geographically tiny NE contains that much more than the enormously geographically superior West. You're worried about lil 'ole us? lol

I agree. Vince was AMAIZING in 06, LEGENDARY preformance in the National Championship. I guess the NFL is to hard on him now. I'm a UT fan, but I was also a UMiami fan because I lived in SoFla. Miami and FSU fell off, tomarrow is a battle of has been teams. I guess all of Florida's talent went to UF. But I'm not bandwagoning UT, because I was raised in Austin and have been a fan for a while. And I think USC is cool, they have been staying consistent also with there talent. USC basically has 1st dibs on all of the state of Californias talent.
haha yeh... uf has stolen all the talent, along with alabama and georgia and lsu picking off FL talent.
05 bowl game was also insane. I think he is just with the wrong team.
He needs to be on a more bill walsh style offense like sf under steve young or philly under cunningham.
In all seriousness though I do actually like the West (even though the back-n-forth is fun lol)
East/West=apples/oranges but if they were the same what fun would that be lol?
