I'm not trying to call Missouri northern, I don't care about that argument. But I think we win the highest temp. award (moral victories). Those numbers are well below average for the coldest months here. Kinda depressing to realize that it will probably be in the 110's this summer

The weather is a non factor that early in Missouri, the only place it gets real cold in November is along the Great Lakes and the Canadian border.

I love how some people act like the weather is just balmy year-round in every SEC state.



The only states that don't get freezing arse cold in the winter are FL and LA. And FL does get pretty damn cold in the winter.

Missouri is not northern

Midwest as defined by U.S. Census Bureau

I am willing to admit that the dividing line between north and south is somewhere in Missouri, but the whole state is not Southern. If you took the road signs down in the northern half of the state people would easily think they were in Iowa.

Eta: in a purely North vs South debate I'm pretty sure the Midwest bats for the North all day long

I'll give you that, the northern half of Missouri is definitely more midwest than the southern half. I'm from Cape Girardeau, which is definitely more southern, so that's my bias. I don't have much in common with people from the northern parts of the state, which is also the least populated. Missouri is a big state.

Don't think I could agree that Missouri would "bat for the North" either. Politically, it's pretty red. Columbia is liberal, but it's also a college town. I won't go into Civil War history, it's been parsed plenty already. Not sure how else you mean?

You just lost your own argument by listing the three least culturally Southern states in the SEC. Hillbillies -- all of y'all.

So now we're going to get into degrees of "southern"? And I would argue that Tennessee especially is more southern than Florida.

This is a dumb discussion that has nothing to do with the OP.

Gainesville the town is still pretty southern -- more so than Knoxville. But, you're right about Florida in general. The farther south you go geographically, the more northern it gets culturally. UF's student body is more mixed than most other schools.

Personally, I like Mizzou and look forward to welcoming your fans to Columbia this fall. Met a lot of nice people at the Independence Bowl a few years back. Nice . . . but not a bit Southern.

I like how a thread about scheduling turns into a pissing match about Southern-ness.

It's the rant!

That is cold. Average high here in NOLA in Jan. is 61 and low of 41. And take no offense, I will always consider MO part of the north. I don't even consider VA part of the south, and boy do they get pissed in Richmond when you call them yankees

Busey. It can and will get extremely cold here in NOLA too during winter. I have had more than my fair share of people from CO, MI and other northern states complain about how cold it is. Though I think part of that is due to the moisture in the air. Makes it feel colder
