Ohio is the worst state and general group of people in the entire country.
Yes, for the novelty it is at the moment for woman, children, and families. I suspect it will pass once the instagram moms move on to something else.

This is the best national anthem I’ve heard in a long time.
I dislike McAfee just like the next guy, but if I’m trying to spend a huge amount of money for a good cause, support a local business, and treat my alma mater fanbase to a unique and special kind of experience, I would be pissed with the reported response from the business. I actually think McAfee has addressed this very reasonably. To hell with this bar.

Same. Most recently it was Texas. Tennessee in OT and Arkansas in 7 OT comes to mind. Chris Doring and Florida. On and on and on….

I’ve had a governor crush on DeSantis ever since March 2020, while I’ve been stuck with Bashear.

I’m not really sure how or why his presidential run was so bad, but I would seriously consider him in 2028. I would also consider Rubio as well as Vance. I would have no problem pulling the lever for any of the three.
It doesn’t have to be forced, or physical, to be rape.

Apparently some posters are basically okay with predatory behavior on children.

This is why age of consent matters.

Pernod may be okay with child rape…but most adults understand all the nuance and are still willing to punish predators.
Kentucky’s best winning percentage against an SEC foe. Great addition to the conference.

A lot of truth to this. Although, if your parents were alumni, or you live in the jurisdiction of a public university, you get to claim fanhood without any separate qualification. No one can help, or resist, being raised as a fan. Likewise, if you live in the same jurisdiction, chances are you are supporting the school in many various ways whether you want to or not.

Them’s fighting words. The only peer for Lowcountry cuisine is N’Awlins. But let me guess: you did the tourist thing in Charleston and ate at a downtown Charleston restaurant. You actually ate an interpretation of what a foodie considers Lowcountry cuisine.


I actually just threw in the dig about low country just to get a rise. I got no hate for it.

I’ve spent half my life in SC on the banks of Lake Marion. Have vivid memories of cleaning up damage with my family after hurricane Hugo at our house in Santee Cooper Country Club after that. My first and now current home is Kentucky, but I reserve every right to rank barbecue and call out the current locals for their homerism.

I stay away from Charleston like the plague.

Someone from a state that doesn't do BBQ


Kentucky does do barbeque. It’s rather unique and mainly confined to the Western part of the state. You’ll never go there and try it. No one cares if you do. We’re self aware enough to know it’s place…which is not on these kinds of lists.

Carolina has okay barbecue. But it’s not the “end of the story” best. A lot of people don’t like pepper vinegar or a heavy dose of mustard with their pork. Sorry, not sorry.

You know what you’re the best at? The Carolina Squat truck. Congrats. Best ever.

Louisville athletic dept might be broke, but the basketball team is throwing out insane money for 26-27 roster They will clearly have one of the highest paid rosters next year.

Kentucky BBQ is bottom tier.


So what’s your point? Did anyone argue Kentucky was better?

You all just can’t handle being ranked 3rd or 4th in these discussions and never fail to get bent out of shape over it. This same thread pops up once or twice a year and every single time, a bunch of Carolina posters vomit all over the place when they are considered second tier-ish.

I don’t care what you call me…but you still have less desirable barbecue than Memphis, Texas, and KC.

And your low country cuisine is rather lame as well.
Jesus…I don’t mind the white sauce and don’t pretend that Alabama doesn’t have other barbecue. But it is what Alabama is known for and no one gives a shite about any other barbecue from Alabama in these discussions. It’s not that deep.

I get all that..but Memphis has the basic style on lock down and gets all the glory. The regional variations, while all good, don’t necessarily get a seat at the table in these discussions.

Using a white mayonnaise sauce for bbq is akin to using ketchup on a ribeye


While I don’t praise Alabama barbecue, white mayonnaise is the base for just about every great sauce ever made. And in comparison, you all basically put yellow mustard on a pork chop. Might want to get off that high horse a bit.

You don’t get your own (or higher) ranking by being “basically Memphis”.

Western Kentucky barbecue is somewhat unique…but I don’t rank it because the sauce is small regional at best and of course…mutton.
