OT- Moorhead out at Miss St

Thanks (seriously) for doing the Lord's work. While you're at it, please cover the frequent misuse of bemused.

I'm afraid the misuse of myriad over the years has in fact made it both a noun and adjective. So sayeth Webster's Dictionary. So I'll go ahead and take that high horse from you. Or if you're just pointing out it should be an adj and will only ever ben an adj, then I think the response of 'ok, boomer' or Clint Eastwood's 'get off my lawm' meme is warranted.

If the worst thing I do today is misuse myriad as a part of speech in a sentence on Mgoblog, then today will have not been a terrible day.

Nope.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary notes that confusion over the use of myriad as a noun "seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective ... however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural 'myriads') and Thoreau ('a myriad of'), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English."

Friend of mine is a Miss. St. grad.  The fight is not a rumor, the freshman QB got into a bad fight with a defensive player and that was the reason he was injured for the bowl game.  

Don't be obtuse. The person I replied to clearly took a shot at our team. 

OK, this is an annoying pattern.

1. Negative guy compares bad team to Michigan

2. Other guy says that Michigan is better than said bad team

3. Negative guy, in response to #2: "Why are you comparing us with bad team?"

This type of exchange has happened multiple times in the last couple of days.  It is dumb. 

You know who else would kill for our meh records? Kansas - what that has to do with Harbaugh underachieving idk. 

Because RXwolverine did by implying that Miss State isn't okay with "average results" but according to him Michigan is.

You way overstate that, but what does it have to do with Partridge anyway?  He's from Hackensack, and most of his NJ coaching was in Paramus.  That's NYC suburbia through and through.

Deep South != Appalachia culturally.

To each his/her own. Alabama and Mississippi have their moments, but in sum they're two of the most backward states (by several measures ... not just in the opinion of coasties) in the US.

I've lived in the south (Tampa, and currently Atlanta) for almost 24 of the 30 years I've been alive and I have no issues making fun of it. There's certainly plenty of pros to living here as opposed to living up north or in the midwest. Far cheaper cost of living, great food, overall nice people, and Tampa/Atlanta are hardly considered rural southern boondocks. They're major cities, so you can get a little bit of everything here. 

But my wife and I are not religious, and we got the cold shoulder from at least a few of the people in our neighborhood when they found out we don't go to church. Not a big deal and it is what it is. We get good laughs out of it every now and again, but there are definitely people in this area of the country who make presumptions about what you should or shouldn't be doing with your Sunday mornings, and if your butt isn't in a pew, you're not someone to be associated with. 

I'd be foolish to think there aren't people like that in every corner of America, but it is far more prevalent in these parts.  

I am not sure what your problem is with the Midwest.  You can take shots for a number of different reasons but "people not being nice and friendly" is not one of them in my experience.

I grew up in Tennessee (19 years) and lived in NC for three years as an adult. Nice geography but full of backstabbing people, filled with hate -your-neighbor "Christians," blatant racism, and overt sexism, and some of the worst public schools in the country.  

The South deserves every derision and joke pointed its way and then some. 

I live in Georgia and half of my family is from Tennessee lol. I’m usually the one defending the South in threads - that doesn’t mean I can’t also make fun of it. 
 

Also, the people and places of the Midwest are infinitely better. I don’t dislike the South - I chose to live here after all - but I will be moving back to Michigan ASAP. 

I lived in the South. I would and do make fun of it.

I’ll still make fun of it. 
 

Places like NOLA are a third world country that keeps its people intoxicated with free public drinking so they don’t revolt. 
 

Those same friendly people will backstab you and blame you for their mediocrity. Fuck the Deep South.
