So... By this outstanding logic and 1750s folksy talk, you're going to tell me that Maryland and Alabama should be teamed up because the Mason-Dixon line says so, regardless of where they're actually located - have I got that right?

I didn't say that. What I am saying is the majority of people in the United States considers Maryland the south.

Hoo boy.

Annapolis, Maryland is the south now? Better add Oxford, Ohio to the list of southern teams then since they go about as far south as Annapolis does.

And how do you know Navy is definitely getting a program together? If/when Navy gets a program, they'll go to whatever conference has Air Force and Army - it's a nice governmental package deal that they'd stick together to make sure they all get to play each other.

Since when are Atlantic Hockey teams "all together" geographically? Nevermind Air Force in this discussion but Erie, PA is nowhere near Boston, MA. Half the conference is in New England and the other half is in Western New York and Western Pennsylvania.

Western bias. :D

I think Navy and Penn St. have been "about to go DI" for at least 10 years. Of course reading cooperalls' first sentence should have clued you in to the fact that you weren't going to read an intelligent thought...

Miami-Ohio and Colorado College are south of the Mason-Dixon line too...

I'm barred in the state of Maryland and live in NoVa. None of these places are in the South save maybe the Eastern Shore where 8 percent of the MD State population lives. Even that doesn't have much in common with South Carolina or Alabama. There are a lot of laws that tend to be grouped regionally and MD almost exclusively falls in line with Northeastern states. If people in MN think MD is the south, people in MN are ignorant of cultural trends here in the mid-atlantic. The "issue" here isn't whether Maryland is part of the South, its whether Virginia is following Maryland into the Northeast alignment and dragging North Carolina with it.

I know, but there was SO MUCH wrong with it and I know there are lemmings here eager to take that and run with it... Which they very well still might do anyhow.

What in the name of Jeff Davis are you talking about 4four4? You considering Maryland as part of the South shouldn't have anything to do with the Civil War, as they were a neutral border state -- i.e. NOT part of the Confederacy. Don't believe me? Here's a tidbit from Wikipedia's entry on Maryland in the American Civil War: "Nearly 85,000 citizens signed up for the military, with most joining the Union army."

That said, in the world of college hockey, Maryland is pretty far south. However, still very far from UAH.

The official line never extended that far west, but the Ohio River has commonly marked the line between Ohio & Ky

say whatever you want but the part of the Mason-Dixon line that forms the border between PA and MD (the 39° 43' N parallel) is further north than Miami-Ohio
 
Re: Save Uah Hockey!

As a poster who holds multiple degrees in history...

Yes... Maryland was considered part of the south. This actually happened when they decided to move the Capital from Pennsylvania to a more southern location in exchange for the establishment of the national bank.

No... Maryland has its cultural geographic link as established as an Atlantic State. They view themselves as being more northern and metropolitan than the idea most hold of the south being more rural and agricultural.

And I agree with the other poster.... SAVE UAH!

But that line was never intended to be extended west along that parallel, and you're in the very small minority that want to do that versus following exisitng state borders...

This is all BS anyway...I'm not trying to say that people in Oxford, Ohio love grits and think soulfood is a way of life or that they all have confederate flags flying in their front yard...I'm saying physically speaking Miami-Ohio, Colorado College, Air Force and Navy are all south of the 39° 43' N parallel
