South East Ohio.
OU is located South of the Mason-Dixon line and East of the Mississippi. Technically we are in the South East, and some of the old home styles in the county orginate from Virginia, not exclusively Yankee in orgin like the rest of the state.

They do NOT want any part of the trojans. However, they may have a trick play in store for them: "Gregory said the offense has been working a lot on passing in practices"
Is the forward pass legal at OU?

Yes the forward pass is legal at OU, and you'll see more of it this year. We need to run the option to be different because everyone else in this league is going after the passing game. Like it or not, we are a niche school in the athletic world.

Place your arms straight out in front of your chest. Just like a cat trying to climb onto a tree.
Then when a big OU play occurs, leap into the air swinging your feet forward, to give the illusion that all four of your paws are in the air at the same time. Very Cat like. Really pumps up the crowd.
Easiest done with cheerleaders or a trained cat like myself.

Do you realize 36 degrees lattitude runs right through the center of North Carolina? Apparently not since you have a "bunny brain" BUGS degree.

I'm right, Y'all are wrong. Kitty Kat, methinks you have rolled down Jeff hill once too often.
The Mason's and Dixon's Line did run the boarder of MD and PA (DE belonged to PA at that time) UNTIL you hit the Ohio river then followed the Ohio river to the Mississippi River (approximately the 36th parallel). I say approximately because there is some conjecture as to the historical accuracy of the L/Lo when the Mason Dixon line was extended in this colloquial fashion.
There was one mistake in my post. It was incomplete as far as the description of the M-D line. It could be easily inferred from my post that the line immediately jumped down to the 36th parallel or that the line ran JUST 36 degrees parallel. That was an error, I apologize. I was posting from work and gave too much of an abridged edition. But the Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers meet between the 36 and 37th parallel (more towards the 37th).
I suppose you could state that since the Mason-Dixon Line extended along 39 degrees 40 mintues Lat and Athens is rests along 39 degrees 20 minutes lat that this would make Athens south of the M-D line. You are assuming (incorrectly) that the line continues on indefinitely.
By your accounts, the M-D line would have passed through Indiana and Illinois WHICH IT DID NOT.
Some of you probably think Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon were confederate geographers who drew a line in the sand sometime in some century. The origins of the Mason Dixon line was before there was even the Bill of Rights (1763). I should add here the American Bill of Rights ratified in 1791, not the British Bill of Rights of 1689.
Mason and Dixon weren't even geographers, they were British Astronomers who were hired to settle a border dispute between two families who owned the two colonies (PA and MD). I am willing to wager no one knows the names of those two families. One was the Penn family (PA), the other was the Calvert familiy (MD). So, the two (Chuck and Jerry) utilized a length of chain along with sextants (a sextant is used for celestial navigation, not something you do with your sister) and surveyed the now talked about Mason Dixon Line. It took them 4 years to complete.
In conclusion, Athens is NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line. Check your facts more than just staring at some pretty colors on a map. :rolleyes:
Let's talk sports.

Remember, the Mason Dixon line is just that a line. Your extending the concept to the Ohio River as the historical demarcation of the South, and your right about that. We are South of the Mason Dixon line, and West of the Ohio River by 30 miles at OU. However, the South is an element of Athens county heritage.

Among the three American migrant groups which converged in southeastern Ohio, settlers from Pennsylvania and Virginia were especially important. Each of these two groups was culturally very different. The majority of Pennsylvanians were of Germanic background, Lutheran or Brethren. and many were wheat and livestock farmers. The Virginians were principally Scots-Irish, Presbyterian, or Disciples of Christ, and most were corn, cattle, and hog farmers. Similarly, their buildings, including houses and barns, differed greatly. For example. Pennsylvania settlers introduced into Ohio the "bank barn" with its distinctive "overshoot" or "forebay." Ohio farmers, particularly, often use the term, "overshoot" to identify the barn's second story overhang. One of my first research projects was locating and mapping this Pennsylvania-type barn in order to understand the cultural contact line between easterners and Southerners in southeastern Ohio. In time, the location of the Pennsylvania barn was correlated with actual origins of settlers, a project that culminated many years later after the census data of Ohio's eighty-eight counties (in 1850) were gleaned from the often impossible-to-read pages of the population manuscript schedules.
Besides the Pennsylvania Barn (also known as Switzer, Forebay, Dutch or Pennsylvania-German barn), there are two other architectural images that reflect New England and southern influences in southeastern Ohio. The saltbox house, so typical in the rural areas of Washington and Athens Counties, represents the New England legacy on the land. Built of heavy post and beam construction and usually on a massive sandstone foundation, the saltbox is distinctive for its long, rear roof which locals call a "catslide". Popular in New England in the eighteenth century, the saltbox was resurrected in southeastern Ohio among settlers from Massachusetts and Connecticut and, of course, others who appreciated its functionalism and appearance.
Southerners, especially those from the Blue Grass Basin of Kentucky. brought the "Southern" or "Virginia I house" into our region. One of America' s most common "folk" structures, the I house (so called because of its frequent occurrence in the three I states-Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa) is always two stories high, two rooms in length and one room deep. Easterners and southerners built it because it stood for success on the land. The Southern I is distinctive because of its low-pitched roof, slightly raised on sandstone piers or foundation, and a central dormer or full, two-story portico. Sometimes this house has outside, gable-end chimneys, an unmistakably southern tradition. Because the porch is the first thing to go on these old houses, many Southern I houses in our region have only a door left on the second story to reveal the one-time presence of the portico. It left me wondering, when I first began to scour Athens' surroundings for cultural clues, why our ancestral settlers had a built-in suicide device on their houses. Eventually, one learns.

I agree that OU is a MidWestern School, in a MidWestern State. The Beast of the South East was more in reference from the player John Taylor "Richmond Player of the Year". A Herd fan took this comment as to mean I asserted OU was in the South East and to him it was a absurd assertion. I replied with this Mason-Dixon argument. I would also like to add that we are south of WVU, and we have fans in Parkersburg West Virginia right across the river. According to your definition West Virginia is in the South, and there isn't a cultural difference between Wood County WV, and Athens County OH. This rapidly begins to change as you head from Athens to Columbus, but that is another story.
