You didn't listen at all to what I said.
4 games a year were played in Little Rock by Arkansas. Ole Miss is the same distance to Little Rock as Fayetteville.
Take off 200 miles (distance from the hill to the rock) because 4 games a year were played in Little Rock. Now you'll understand why Arkansas was wonderful for western proximity.
The only thing that makes South Carolina more southern is minority population. They had to leave the union first or their state would've ceased to exist. (Reference map)
Now I understand your definition of "Southern" is deepest ties to the Civil War. That's all I wanted to know.
You're right, by that definition South Carolina is more southern than every single southern state without question.

Your adding all these meaningless caveats.
"But but but Little Rock!"...but no one gives a shite. The University of Arkansas is in Fayetteville not Little Rock. Don't throw out the "four game a year" line either like you play half your conference games there. Since 1992 you've played 67% of your conference home games in Fayetteville and 76% of your home games since 2000. Even if you played every game in Little Rock, Columbia would still be closer.
The only thing that makes South Carolina more Southern is history, about 190 extra years of it. South Carolina is at the heart of Southern history and development, Arkansas is a border state on the periphery of that development. It's more than just race and the civil war but I will grant you that the definition of what "southern" is and the debate around it will vary from person to person.
