Top Eleven Ways To Identify a "Region" Fan at State


hook and half

Recommended Posts

If you're going to call someone out for making a mistake in their post, the least you can do is use the correct word to describe the feelings people from Chicago have toward those from NWI. I believe the word you were looking for was disdain not detain. Lived at 3750 N. Racine in Wrigleyville and grew up on the south side of the city, trust me when I tell you, the Region is a lot more Chicago than the rest of the state. Going to Purdue made the difference between the Region and the rest of the state abundantly clear. You can make fun of it, but it's home and I'm proud to live here.

Since I couldn't find my Region Rat t-shirt (thinking one of the ex-girlfriends stole it) I figured I'd wear the next best thing this weekend to identify as a proud member of the 219. Look for me in the DITKA t-shirt on Saturday.

A real Bears fan has one of these in his closet:

I grew up a "hilljack" in Southern Indiana, and I wrestled in the EV SS. I have now lived in Chicago, not Northwest Indiana for 12 years. Please don't refer to yourself as someone from a big city to pretend you are more cosmopolitan than other people from Indiana. You don't live in Chicago, and you are just as big of a "hilljack" as everyone else from Indiana, myself included. People from the city look at you the same way you look at everyone else in Indiana, with detain. Simply because you live near Chicago doesn't make you better than any other Hoosier. Also, if you are going to use a Carl Sandberg quotation at least get it right.

We do not pretend, nor do we use Carl SandBURG (not berg) quotes  :)

 

Loosen up Francis, you have 12 years in the Big City under your belt...act like it  :)

Spoken like a "hilljack" (you said it) who moved to the city and doesn't (or ever has) lived in the Region. Thanks for filling me in!
