OT: GOAT QB - its not Brady.

[Jimmy Serrano]

You're a genius.

Two tooth Husky said what?

You really are juvenile!

 

[SC Husky]

Do you work at South of the Border or something? I'm not sure why you are so defensive about South Carolina.

I've lived in both states. The two nitwits got under my skin. That's all.

My daughter and her husband live in Philadelphia. He’s in finance and she has a MFA from Villanova and has a great job. These are both kids that visited the dentist regularly and they just told me that they hope Amazon chooses Philly and drives up the housing prices so they can sell their home and move. I asked where to? The answer: South Carolina! I was like wtf? My brother who lives in Attleboro but works in Warwick, is retiring soonish (3-5 years) told me they will be moving to North or South Carolina. Both of these are absolutely true and I have no explanation

Also Providence is better than anything The Nutbag state has to offer so enough of that.

Neither with kids in school amirite?

 

[SC Husky]

People are getting priced out. Is per capita dropping?

That is true. People are getting priced out.

 

[FriarJ]

Neither with kids in school amirite?

Correct, Daughter has a 1 year old

Buddy you really need to come up with something else, besides the fact that lots of people like simple, low CoL adulthoods/retirements in a half decent climate

Have you asked yourself why the stats you’re perseverating on are as they are? Maybe that the successful people that those states breed have the options to move wherever they want while the undeniable volume of useless hicks in SC have no options? Maybe Northerners don’t feel some irrational sense of being beholden to their home states the way a lot of dumb southerners do to theirs (and ‘Murica as a whole while we are at it)?

Or maybe you haven’t and you do belong down there with rich

Young families are moving here as well. Its based on opportunity not on being beholdened to a particular state. When people relocate there are many factors that go into it. Do you really think southerners are dumb? Man, that is really narrow-minded. I grew up in CT just like all of you. But there is way more opportunity down here and SC has a lot more to offer as far as quality of life. If you could explain why people aren't moving into CT, I'm all ears.

Like someone else said, people are getting priced out. People are graduating with debts nobody had in previous generations and starting families in good school districts, with huge debt and low-paying jobs, won’t work in CT.

Not that they’re making a particularly objectively good choice moving south. They’re just doing it.

Connecticut is a grind because of the proximity to NYC and all the money that rolls in. It's a rat race. Different lifestyle down south. But as for schools, I had a step-niece who got all As at one of the best rated Florida public schools (USNews) who went to a public school in Fairfield Cty and suddenly became a C student. The students at that top Florida school were way behind the Conn. kids. She's a smart girl so she caught up after a year, but her parents tell me there is a huge difference between the schools. I would say that's true in a comparison between Clemson and UConn as well.

Families are making the best decision for their themselves. Who is anyone else to say whether or not it's a good choice. To compound the problem, businesses are also moving down here from up there. If this trend is not reversed CT will be in an even bigger world of hurt. I'm worried that United Technologies is going to fold up shop in CT and relocate. That's a real possibility.

 

[August_West]

It’s not opinion. It’s fact and everyone is able to talk fact.
Educating your kids in South Carolina is empirically the worst choice you can make in America

Opportunity?

Lol. When are you going to stop making stuff up?

 

[Mots010]

It leads me to believe that B.B. has one more SB quest in him then McDaniel takes over.

He's going to have to coach at NE, because he pretty much destroyed his rep on this move. He really screwed over the Colts. Apparently the assistants he was bringing in heard about the change of heart via the news with the rest of us.

 

[SC Husky]

I'm not making anything up. You've talking out your arse from the beginning. The unemployment rate in CT hovers around 4.6%. The unemployment rate in SC is 3.9% That is opprtunity ! CT unemployment rate exceeds the national average. SC's unemployment rate is below the national average.

Yes, wages are higher in CT. However, taxes to include state income tax, and property taxes, gas taxes, etc. are way higher in CT. The higher taxes wipes out any difference in wages.

Any questions dumb ass? You are so stupid!

One reporter said that, Diana Russini, but others said Josh called the assistants first.

You are (at best) sharing specious anecdotal stories to make your case. I am using hard facts.

Why does US News list South Carolina 48th in "opportunity" . Why don't you find out?

Because US News cherry picked data. Jobs = opportunity ! Available jobs are not an important metric to gauge opportunity? Jobs must not matter to you because you're probably unemployed and happy.

Please list for me the metrics involved in US News opportunity ratings.

 

[SC Husky]

Please list for me the metrics involved in US News opportunity ratings.

I noticed that available jobs is not one of the criteria. Like I said, real opportunity = jobs. What don't you get? So why do you think that people are moving into SC and leaving CT. You never addressed that. There is way more opportunity here. Some dying magazine puts out skewed and cheery-picked information and you buy it hook line and sinker. You are stupid.

Proven that you cant read AGAIN. Arent you getting tired of me beating on you like a rented mule?

The states were ranked in their capacity for providing opportunities for all their citizens. This included an economic examination, counting income inequality in each state, the household income of a state’s residents and the percentage of households living under the poverty line. And a measure was taken of the share of households where sustainable food isn’t always available. In considering the cost of living in a state, the rankings also took into account the median housing prices in a state in comparison with median family income. Gaps in educational achievement and employment – as well as unemployment rates – between whites and Asians compared to other minorities were counted. And the ratio of men and women in the labor force, including professional, leadership and management positions, was considered – as well as educational attainment and political representation for women.

SC Husky on a family day out

 

[Rocktheworld]

shhh keep politics out of this on mens board. I dont want to lose this thread. Weve got a living breathing idiot on here that is just self'ing time after time paying out like a loose slot machine.

Like I said I’ll leave it at that.

But I mean I’m shocked this thread hasn’t been locked or deleted yet. Does Fishy think we have still been talking about Brady for the last 60+ posts?

It was an OT thread to begin with. meandered (NON politically) to more OT with one of the biggest dopes Ive ever seen just flailing away. Why are you trying to take away nice things?

He asked me why I think people in SC are stupid

Gave him a pretty good reason to believe that

We've got enough hard data to prove that without resorting to voting . Have you not been watching me beat him down for 2 days? Learn, young padawan, learn.

Not disagreeing totally with what you say
The story about your step-niece maybe true in her case but you can't paint every student with the same brush. Some kids need adjustment and that could have an affect on her grades
My wife and my daughter teach in public schools in CT and both have related stories that any of the kids they have that were/are recent transplants from the South are actually more fundamentally sound, overall, in the areas of writing and math because they received the basics and taught them down there. Up here in the North, they are too busy with teaching inclusiveness and other social crap and not taught how to sign/write cursive and basic non computer math skills. CT and it's towns spend way too much per student for the education of each child today - based on what the children are receiving in basic learning.
My best friend teaches in a prep school in Mass and he claims that the students from the south are not at all as they are labeled to be lagging behind.
As in Connecticut, there are areas in South Carolina that are not offering the best of education but do any of you think that those kids who go to public schools in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and New Britain are better off? Yeah there are great schools and systems in CT - Hand, many in Fairfield County and the West Hartford/Glastonbury systems. But will they remain that way if the state pulls back all that money - in addition, those who go to these schools come from high income households which inherently creates scholastic competitiveness for college placement. There are areas in the South - Durham and Raleigh NC, Lexington, Spartanburg, Charleston and areas around Columbia SC where there are great public/district school systems
The advantage CT has over most Southern states is the fact that rural areas in CT are all higher populated and have more professionals and technology - The South, overall is still more agriculturally inclined.
Right now the South is better for retirees and some cases, young folks starting out in the business world (less competition).

Clemson vs UConn - not sure
USCarolina vs UConn maybe

The South isn't as great overall as SC Husky is stating but it's not as bad as some on here are arguing against him
It is that old RE adage in both places - location location location - The Northeast is still more industrialized than the South and the competition is keener

I have no idea how I got into this!!!!????

[Adios]

After reading this thread, I am convinced Brady is the GOAT.

LeBron, on the other hand, should visit the Boneyard.

you shouldve stayed out.

You are picking the worst of CT against the best of SC. The only way to do this factually is to take states as a whole and apply the same metrics to them. When you do that those metrics say CT is #4 in the country and SC #50 (as in dead last couldnt be worse). Again, facts matter.

As far as your College things let me leave you with this:

UConn - #56 - USC - #103

So yeah, no. There is no "maybe" about it.


you are much better poster than trying to defend the indefensible.
