I'm deducting points for Jimmy Buffet and Oparh.

No big. Coca-Cola is bigger than the two of them put together.

I know who Don Hutson is. My father is a Packers fan from way, way back. I don't think he was as good as that Jerry Rice guy...Starr was an excellent QB with multiple championships, but he didn't have the records or the longevity of Favre. Tough call.

Tommy Shaw of Styx? You should've stuck to the athletes. Surprised you didn't throw Evander Holyfield, Bobby Bowden, Condoleeza Rice or any of your multiple American Idol phenoms out there.

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans, by the way.

Cheers!

Lived most of his early, formative, years in Monroeville, Alabama.

Coke was bottled in Vicksburg, but invented in Georgia.

I figured that you would deduct points for the Idol winners & the runner-up. :cool: I would have....:D

Paul Zimmerman wrote that Hutson was decades ahead of his time as a receiver and if you factored the differences in numbers based on the changes in the game....Hutson is the best.

Fair enough. But we've been ignoring 8 or 10 other great states in the south. :eek:

What magnificent things can we promote about them? There are some amazing beaches all over the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean in the southland:

Sanibel, FL
St. Simons Island & Jekyll Island, GA
Myrtle Beach, SC
Gulf Shores, AL
Corpus Christi, TX
Florida Keys
Ship Island, MS
Outer Banks, NC

and on, and on, and on...

Actually up the road in Navarre Beach....back when that was in the boondocks....we were on vacation down in Fort Walton Beach and drove by Navarre to see where they were filming....the front of the shark was covered up so you couldn't see the scars on its face.

Part of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was filmed in Alabama.

That's true, but I thought that they did some of it in FWB too? At least that's what my Dad used to say. He used to tell me the story about how they were passing a semi-flatbed truck on the interstate with Jaws (covered) on it.

They filmed "something wild" with Melaine Griffith and Jeff Daniels in Tallahassee, FL

DALLAS — Four Texas metropolitan areas were among the biggest population gainers as Americans continued their trend of moving to the Sun Belt in 2006 and 2007, according to Census Bureau estimates released yesterday.



Dallas-Fort Worth added more than 162,000 residents between July 2006 and July 2007, more than any other metro area. Three other Texas areas — Houston, Austin, and San Antonio — also cracked the top 10.

Atlanta saw the second-largest population jump with just over 151,000 new residents. Phoenix was third with more than 132,000, and was followed by Houston, Riverside, Calif., Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Austin, Las Vegas, and San Antonio. Of the 50 fastest-growing metro areas, 27 were in the South and 20 were in the West. Two were in the Midwest, one — Fayetteville, Ark. — straddles the South and Midwest and none was in the Northeast. Detroit lost more than three times as many people as any other metro area — its population declined more than 27,300. Other areas losing more than 5,000 people were Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Ga., Youngstown, Ohio, and Buffalo, N.Y.

Experts credit much of the growth in the South to relatively strong local economies and housing prices that are among the most affordable in the U.S.

“People are running away from unaffordable housing, from the economic slowdown,” a state demographer in Texas, Karl Eschbach, said. “I would expect Texas to stay at the top of a slowing game.” According to figures compiled by Mr. Eschbach, 16% of Americans who moved to other states between July 2006 and July 2007 came to Texas, which led the nation for the second straight year in that category.

They probably filmed all over the area, they were headquartered at one of the hotels on Navarre Beach....I saw the shark parked out beside the hotel.
