re: Describe cultural fit in the SEC

I’ve traveled a lot of places for work. All over SEC country as well as the Midwest, and north east. Because of the lack of NFL teams with rich tradition all of our eggs are generally in one basket. SEC football. The closest non “southern” teams would likely be Texas schools as they have some really passionate plans. They also seem to align with a lot more of our values. That said, traditional “southern” values that I was raised on seem to be in a lot of rural areas they just have a different accent. One this. I can say that’s shocking, the general perception of the south is that we are racist rednecks that are intolerant of others. While those folks are in every part of the country; in my experience, the south is by and large less racist than almost every state I have visited, with Ohio likely being the worst.
