sportsfangms Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 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.

ClownBaby Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Did someone mention parking near my red Audi? That's it, I'm renting a limo, I ain't taking no chances.

John Galt Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I don't know the number, but I bet the driver's name is Lloyd. Tell him you are from the region and he will probably ask you "Well! How are things in Hamilton County?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenTowelRack Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 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. GratefulRobb and busstogate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Galt Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 One way to identify a region fan, especially an old one, is that when you mention "trolling", they start talking about how all the fish in their area are tougher than all the fish in the rest of the state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulRobb Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 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. #42 Ways to identify someone from Da Region...
