This is said perfectly.

I've lived in many places, at one point Princeton, NJ and I can confidently say the Birmingham suburbs are the most elitist place I've ever even been to. It's different here, it's not just about money but behavior and I don't think outsiders understand it, but good God it's real

Gainesville is the southern Mason-Dixon line

I went to the Colorado School of Mines; it’s as redneck as Bama lol

You can have a degree from Harvard and the moment the rest of the country finds out you’re from west Tennessee or Alabama, you’re a redneck to them. Best thing is to embrace it and use it to your advantage

The most “redneck” element to the university is the kids from the north and west coast who come down to cosplay as rednecks for 4-5 years.
Bad quite from Ty.

Not sure why you would struggle to fit in in LA....it's pretty much like anywhere else,....just bigger with more homeless and illegals

Born and bred southern. I love that he embraces that shite. I don't need us to look "cool" to ANYONE outside of our sphere. The south is BETTER because we are NOT like them.
RMFT, Ty.

Alabama arrogance is what has allowed auburn to take over the media and politics in this state. And increase their fan base so much. They are winning the war and Alabama just allows it to keep taking place.

In what way have they increased their fan base?

Gainesville gets a heavy pass for how redneck it is
Gainesville is a blue town, run by a lot of folks who aren't remotely redneck. The areas surrounding Gainesville are moderately neck af, but gville itself is not, at all. It's a blue dot in a sea of of red (necks).

Gainesville is much less neck than ocala, 40 minutes south. If you run the center of the state, avoiding the coasts and Orlando... there are rednecks until you hit the glades.

Maybe The Tiny Kingdom, but not so much elsewhere. Further out is the place to be.

I assume he’s talking about the suburbs to the south: MB, Vestavia, much of Homewood, most of Hoover, parts of Cahaba Heights, etc.

It's all about the circles you run in. You can live in Mountain Brook and never see a hint of "elitism" (unless nice houses is elitism to you), or you can go gossip at the BCC/MBCC and find it and elsewhere. Your kids probably have a harder time avoiding it, but not all of the school system is made up of country club pool rats.
To Ty's comment, who cares? It's a flippant comment. You'd be hard pressed to find any university that's actually "redneck". I don't know if Ty went Greek, but there are a couple of houses that love to chew dip and drive around lifted trucks. He probably ran in that circle and enjoyed it.
Yup, UA traded some of that that southern aristocracy vibe for yankee accents/coastal vibes and their out of state tuition.
