Nothing wrong with being a Hillbilly.....

Recently everyone has started using Hillbilly as another term for Redneck. There is a big difference....

Hillbillies, are self-sufficient county folk who raise livestock...

Rednecks are country white-trash who usually get emotional involved with livestock....


You're welcome...

Also has one of the most eloquent Heisman Trophy acceptance speeches ever (which was given spontaneously without notes). The guy was on his way to becoming president someday.


"Thank you very, very kindly, Mr. Holcomb. It seems to me that everyone is letting their superlatives run away with them this evening, but nonetheless, I want you to know that I'm mighty, mighty happy to accept this trophy this evening.

Every football player in these United States dreams about winning that trophy, and of this fine trip to New York. Every player considers that trophy the acme in recognition of this kind. And the fact that I am actually receiving this trophy tonight almost overwhelms me, and I know that all those boys who have gone before me must have felt somewhat the same way.

From my own personal viewpoint, I consider my winning this award as indirectly a great tribute to the new coaching staff at the University of Iowa, headed by Dr. Eddie Anderson, and to my teammates sitting back in Iowa City. A finer man and a better coach never hit these United States, and a finer bunch of boys and a more courageous bunch of boys never graced the gridirons of the Midwest than that Iowa team in 1939. I wish that they might all be with me tonight to receive this trophy. They certainly deserve it.

I want to take this grand opportunity to thank collectively all the sportswriters, and all the sportscasters, and all those who have seen fit, have seen their way clear to cast a ballot in my favor for this trophy. And I also want to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Prince and his committee, the Heisman award committee, and all those connected with the Downtown Athletic Club for this trophy, and for the fine time that they're showing me. And not only for that, but for making this fine and worthy trophy available to the football players of this country.

Finally, if you will permit me, I'd like to make a comment which in my mind, is indicative, perhaps, of the greater significance of football and sports emphasis in general in this country, and that is, I thank God I was warring on the gridirons of the Midwest and not on the battlefields of Europe. I can speak confidently and positively that the players of this country would much more, much rather, struggle and fight to win the Heisman award than the Croix de Guerre.

Thank you."

Redneck has also become very commercialized.

Actually I'm meh with it. A lot of our fanbase is disappointed with Kirk Ferentz and his constant underachieving, take a knee, FB stretch play, ways. Were in the apathy stage of grief.

No ban! I love it, or should I say "them". Just curious after reading the warning thread on here about not posting porn pics.

I have to say, 3yardout ur fanbase is fairly reasonable compared to others. Weve had to deal with fan bases like Utah State saying that they are going to beat us by 20 in Neyland Stadium

No but I think the Eskimo Pie was, so we got that going for us.

I actually know Mike and the guy is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I think they actually have a store in Nashville now.

Other Iowa trivia.

Trust me, the Iowa fan base is stupid in other ways. For instance, they believe that they should just fire Kurt Frents and his $14 million dollar buyout, and either Bob stOOPS or Burt Bielema will be dying to take the job. The reasons for this? Well, Burt has an Iowa tattoo, and stOOPS's dad was buried in an Iowa jersey.

That's it. That's the reason.

Also, you know hoe the Vols beat Iowa in the play in basketball game? The refs were biased...

I was calling him by the wrong name in a basic sign of disrespect. FWIW, a large portion of the Hok fanbase INTENTIONALLY calls "Kirk" "Kurt" on purpose, just as I have done.

As for Bert Bielema, that's been a joke around here for years.

Maybe this is the kind of thing only people living in the midwest get. Am I liek the only person in Vol Nation who lives in a state that won in the Civil War?
