1. If Carolina is so damned great why do they all come to Virginia?
:shrug:

Oh and that goes for the West Virginians too (my mom is one)

6. The BEST THING about North Carolina
is its scenery. It cannot be beat. Breathtaking. :hi: Fellow NC'ian here. I think I've seen that view in the third picture somewhere near here. It is certainly beautiful.

7. Kansas has one fewer Roy, therefore is better.
Actually, I like Roy quite a lot (which is hard on a Dookie), but I've got to root for Kansas in this one for the sake of my standing in the office pool. Saturday night decides it all.

13. My heart is ALWAYS in hating on the tarholes.
Just not Roy, or any of his players. After all, had they been smarter, many of them probably could've gotten into Duke.

24. I have a great deal of respect for
Coach K and his teams. I'm an Arkansas Grad and the only time I have not been a Duke Fan was in 94 when the Hogs and the Blue Devils met in the NCAA championship game (which the Hogs won of course.)

9. Always wondered, where does the term North Cackalackee come from?
I've heard people call North Carolina this. Please don't tell me it's racist, but it probably is.

28. I'm not a member of that contingent
I'm from the most beautiful state in the Union, Arkansas. But I have traveled through Kansas and found it to be clean, neat, flat and the citizenry very friendly, courteous and helpful. Acres and acres of sunflowers are quite a beautiful sight. And did I mention Clean? And they do have one helluva basketball team. Should be a great game.

32. Inland states are not eligible for the title of "most beautiful"
Sorry, beauty requires coastline.

I haven't been in all fifty states but I'd have to go with California. And the only parts of it I've seen are between San Francisco and Monterey.

33. Then states that are split are not eligible either
Ya'll couldn't get along to have a Carolina?? You want beautiful? Spend a week in Eureka Springs Arkansas and traverse eastnortheast from there. You'd be calling the Hogs by the time you got back to the home of the greatest basketball program ever, Duke! And Psycho-T's picture on the cover of the current Sports Illustrated is pure ugly. He should slap his Mama. Don't ask me to post a pic, I'm good to post a post.

35. No one knows or cares why states split
That has nothing to do with beauty. I'm sure the Dakotas have their charm but I've never been in that neck of the woods.

Duke's coach raises money for GOP candidates. Are you sure you're posting on the right site?

Lastly, ugly is a proud Carolina basketball tradition.

Does the name Mike O'Koren ring a bell? I tried to find a pic but he's too ugly to even be on the Internets.

37. Wow
you are so fucking good at deciding that you make the rules. Coach K is an awesome basketball coach regardless of politics. Are you sure you are posting on the right sight? I suggest you find some "we are perfect motherfuckers and everybody else sucks" sight. You could be there spiritual advisor. Your attitude sucks and I appreciate the law of physics.

27. A geographic technicality
Edited on Fri Apr-04-08 04:39 PM by taterguy
I'm no Civil War buff but I'm pretty sure NC didn't secede from the Union until all the surrounding states did.

So it's kind of like our recent lottery. If all your neighbors are doing it you really don't have much of a choice.

I'm also pretty sure that there were considerable numbers of Kansans sympathetic to the Confederacy.

Or have you already forgotten?

ps: Kentucky was a border state. Totally different situation.

42. I live in Texas now, but am a native Kansan and shall always be a Kansan
Kansas is beautiful. The people are friendly without being cloying. We have a proud Yankee history. And I won't even say anything about the score right now because I don't want to gloat and don't want to jinx my team.

49. The best thing about your state is that it has a good college basketball team?
That's kind of sad.

Especially since most of the players on the roster aren't from Kansas anyway.
