OT - Vacationing on St. Simons Island, Georgia

They know what's coming.
Glad to see you were smart enough to not change your eyewear while amongst fans of other teams. You'd be charger-less otherwise.

I spent a few minutes trying to find it but couldn't, which might just be me using shitty search terms - wouldn't be the first time that happened. Anyway, I remembered it as well and actually had to fight the urge to edit to make it more ridiculous when it was first posted. It may as well have ended with, "...and that's how the rotary engine was invented" or something like that.

I live in South Carolina and every "southern" football fan I have talked to down here respects Harbaugh. It's not an uncommon thing.

You are not alone in Brunswick, my friend! We moved down here (Exit 29) from Grand Rapids last Fall, just in time for Hurricane Mathew. It's interesting hearing the Georgia and Florida fans talk down here. I feel like they don't get too excited about things because they know Alabama going to wax the floor with them.
For those who come down to St. Simon's for vacation, that is great! Be sure to wear your M gear so I have someone to have a reasonable conversation with, lol. My advice though... if the beach is your thing, hope on I-95 and head south another 45 mins and go to a FL beach (Fernadina Beach on south). The water there is much more Blue! The water at the coastal Georgia beaches is not very appealing.

He was a greeter at the door.
Naturally, I threw out some trivia about how well Michigan is recruiting Georgia right now. No SEC troll would be able to withstand that. His response was "Harbaugh is a genius".
Soooooooooo......a guy who works at a business as a greeter who is paid to have pleasant interactions with people had very nice things to say to a customer about his favorite team?
This sounds like basically the platonic middle aged family friendly version of:

I'm sitting on my couch today. I had some pizza delivered with ranch sauce. The delivery guy gave me an extra ranch sauce and that was BEFORE I tipped him. I take that as a sign that he thought Michigan would have a better than expected year.

I live in Burlington Vermont and I'm wearing my Michigan hat today. As I was walking down the street a person I've never met smiled at me. It was a big, broad smile too, not just a quickie, 'hey, you're in my way' type smile. I take this as a sign that New Englanders think Michigan will be better than expected this year.

I call BS on that story Boddicker! I live in New England and people here don't smile at people they've known for years, let alone strangers.
August 21st, 2017 at 4:23 AM ^
I call BS on that story because I too live in New England, and no born and raised New Englanders know that college football exists.

I'm going to take this moment to threadjack? Since this has evolved into a "Wolverines in GA", i ask the question, any Atlantan's or Georgian's come to our AAUM bars/events in Atlanta? Whitehall Tavern, Pepperoni's, etc.

A little bit, yes. I root for BYU more than any other team except Michigan. However, my love for Michigan is a million times greater than it is for BYU
And yes, alot of Mormons root for BYU because it is a private, church owned school! No matter where I have lived in the US, a majority of members of the church I have been around will root for BYU as their first or 2nd fav team

the dateline of the story is St. Simon's Island, just a fabulous place to visit and vacation. My experience is that while living in North Carolina, there are SEC and Big Ten fans everywhere, especially Michigan fans. People who live in southern Florida don't tend to go to St. Simon's Island to escape the August heat, they head to the Georgia mountains, especially Fllorida State fans.
In any case, college foothall fans know what is happening on a naional level and they know what Harbaugh is building at Michigan, and it's more than the second-coming of Bo Schembechler.
