National reputation of what? crime? Hell, that's everywhere.

Not like here. Don’t be naive.

Nah, speaking as someone who has lived all over the South. Crime here is just as bad as most big cities in the South.

According to FBI statistics, here is the top 10 cities in the South

FBI Crime statistics

1. Baltimore, Md., pop. 618,385
2. Memphis, Tenn., pop. 656,434
3. Little Rock, Ark., pop. 198,800
4. Nashville, Tenn., pop. 668,685
5. New Orleans, La., pop. 397,208
6. Chattanooga, Tenn., pop. 177,801
7. Baton Rouge, La., pop. 228,389
8. Tulsa, Oklahoma, pop. 405,748
9. West Palm Beach, Fla., pop. 108,074
10. Tallahassee, Fla., 191,564

There are 3 SEC cities in that list, and I haven't heard anybody say they aren't going to a game in those cities cause the crime is too high. Now I ain't saying Memphis don't have a crime problem. It is a huge problem, but it is far from a Memphis only problem.

3 SEC cities?
