Is the Sec faster?

An interesting analysis of the speed question. He argues that it is not overall speed but the speed of the D-line that is the difference.
There are 404 defensive linemen on NFL rosters through June 2008. Of them...
80 are from the SEC (19.8%, or one in 5)
38 are from the Big 12
36 are from the Pac 10
34 are from the Big 10
The SEC produces more than double the defensive line talent of the next-closest conference.
Also, if you include linemen from what I've labeled "SEC country," the numbers get more lopsided:
SEC country accounts for 37.3% of NFL defensive linemen. Also, only three teams don't have a single SEC player on their defensive-line roster.

Last time I checked they had pretty good basketball and baseball teams.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the SEC is faster...we just run quicker. Oh nevermind.... I think I get now. God I love the dirty south.

Based on the latest polls LINK... LSU is fourth fattest state, behind Mississippi, West Virginia, & Alabama. Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky all made the top 10! I guess SEC territory is tops for everything after all.

Who cares as long as we win? I figure most of the time you can say whatever you want if your winning the games...

I have lived in Little Rock (doesn't count...I was too little), Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Tulsa, Baton Rouge again for a long time, Shreveport, now Lexington (for the last 3 years). I am one hour away from the Ohio border and I can tell you that the women up here pale in comparison to the hotties in Baton Rouge. I speak from experience.

Yes, they have to overcompensate for the uglies. LoL
