Mark Richt on Jim Harbaugh's camp invitation to all coaches: “I don’t know how many guys wanna go up there and freeze their tail off."

Umm what?
I've been to a lot of states, and people in the Midwest are among the nicest/friendliest in the whole nation. That whole "southern hospitality" shit only exists in movies.
and I'm not from the midwest btw. I'm an OOSer.

takes this for granted. If you want to have a surprise, look up the nation's most segregated cities--Philly, Chicago, and Milwaukee. All of my northern liberal friends love Black people in theory; they just don't really know any.
There's a reason that 20 million black people have moved back to the south over the last two decades--it's called The Great Reverse Migration.

I'm not sure about that 20 million figure, but your larger point stands.

I was with you until you suggested that more than half of the entire black population of the United States has fled to the south in the last two decades.
phenomenon encompassing the entire South, and involves millions of people:

and I have heard some southern rural folk say some racially-charged things that I have never heard anyone say in public elsewhere.

you die of heat stroke.
every. single. year.
I lived there into my 20s. I'll take Tallahassee weather any time--70s-80s much of the year during the day, always dipping down and getting cool at night. August and September are blazing hot, it is true, but if you develop a nice rhythm of getting up early, exercising, and having a little nap in the afternoon, it always cools down again in the evening.
When I moved here I swore I would never get over the loss of the seasons. But after a year I was complaining when it got cold. (We had some flurries last year during one of those crazy cold snaps.)
Tallahassee's special, and great--rolling hills and heavily wooded, far different from much of the rest of the South. Although no place is perfect, I sometimes think this is about as good as you can get.
that is as god as you can get
If you like having no water and living on ground that shakes, sure.
Coastal California is great. The inland regions are a blast furnace half the year.
The weather from Denver on west is better than anywhere on the east coast - from Maine to Naples. The eastern US is flat and humid. That's why so many people are moving west. I advise them to stay in the east, thanks.

Don't enjoy swamp-ass?

True, but you constantly have to shovel sweat out of your ass crack. Or at least I do.
True. In fact there's no way to get rid of it at all.

If 93 degrees at 5 PM is spring to you then we are having one heck of a spring!

JH is getting under their collars. Obviously Mr. Richt has never spent a long, hot July day and evening on the Lake Michigan shore...enjoying sand, waves and SUN until a near perfect sunset at, oh, say,10:00 p.m. But, he's probably having a great time in the swamp looking for Gators...Lord knows i can't imagine why, he CLEARLY doesn't know what to do with a Gator ifn he finds one!

I support JH recruiting in the South as much as anyone here. And yes it is hot in Georgia in the summer - and humid. In contrast, Ann Arbor around the time of the football camp can be about as perfect as weather can get.
That said: there are shady parts, but Athens and UGA make up the quintessential "Ann Arbor-like" college town, and people with Richt's means more likely have a lake house with a ski boat an hour north, or weekend on one of the several sea island beaches 4 to 5 hours south-east.
Either way, Richt is full of shit.

The average low temperature in June in Ann Arbor is 58? That sounds way low from my experience.
This coming from probably the least annoying SEC coach #negativerecruiting

We'll just remind recruits of the old Charlie Daniels song "The Devil went down to Georgia"
If the Devil went down to Georgia, that makes Georgia Hell.
Why would anybody want to go to college and play football in Hell.
The Devil did not come up to Michigan.
That means that Michigan is not Hell, even though we have the town.
And that makes it a better place to go to college and play football.
We win.
How Embarrassing for him.
If the weather in june cause you to "freeze your tail off" then....

That's fine. I honestly don't care what any other coach or program thinks of us as long as Hoke isn't within a 1000 miles of any of our camps, nor any other camps for the sake of high school football players
Unless Hoke is in Alaska or Hawaii, he's not going to meet your 1,000 mile demand.
well he was enough of a disaster (and I mean a complete and utter, totally incompetent, disaster) that he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the continental 48
I've heard he's spending the forseeable future in Key West. That's 1,528 miles, for the record.
still within a 1000 miles of our camp in Alabama. I don't want Hoke in the country much less anywhere near anything Michigan related. Hoke is a cancer and I'd prefer him to be Europe's problem than ours.

Hopefully a Georgia native will prove Richt overwise with an announcement in a couple days...
might want to enroll in some basic geography/ climate classes. That is a very ignorant comment on his part.
It's just his subtle way to remind his southern recruits that it gets cold up here. I hope Harbaugh puts out a tweet about NFL football being played in cold weather.
