I have no clue who any of those players are. I was referring to UCF.

Part 1 one WW stadium renovation is almost complete, and just in time. 2nd part won't begin until after the last home game on Nov 14th.
Looks fabulous. Maybe I'll go check out the home game w/ GT this year.

Yeah, I took that test a while back. It pretty much nails it - Jackson, MS and Baton Rouge splitting the difference (grew up on the MIssissippi River in MS, so makes sense) with some influence of Tallahassee (where I lived for years and years). Zero NC or western influences though-I think after a certain point your dialect features "fix in".

I broke it.
Edit: After waiting a few minutes and refreshing, it gave me Winston-Salem, NC (close enough) third, which followed Yonkers (2) and New York City (1).
New York City?
Get a rope.
And that also confirms that I've done this before, as these results (or similar enough) were received earlier.

After my error, I got Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and New York City. North Carolina is by far the state with the greatest match.
I've never been to any of those places though.

Not alone. Some dialects were not meant for this world.

Calm down and just drink some soda or pop or whatever you weirdos call coke.
Soda.
We also call them water fountains here, think bubblers are B1G Ten West abomination.
ha, look at this weird guy pronouncing them differently!
Hey, Vanillite also pronounces them differently.
But yeah, look at those pronunciations! They are different!

Guilt by association. You knew what you were joining. You'll call them bubblers now, and you'll like it!
Resisting the urge to say something about him being a Georgia Tech fan. I'm kidding. Mostly.
I got Columbus, GA
Tallahassee, FL
Montgomery, AL
Yikes. The ironic thing is I have no southern accent at all. Columbus, GA accent is usually pretty strong. Have a friend from there who is unfortunately an Auburn fan.
I was born in Tulsa, raised until age 12 in Denver, then moved to Southwestern OK which is where I picked up some of my more hickish phrases.
Hey now, don't associate Nebraska with that silliness.

To be fair I'm not surprised. I grew up in the deep South my whole life... But my mom, dad, and bro were all born in the mid west. They moved to GA like two months before I was born.
My dad is from Illinois and mom is from the south. Combining that with being from a college town and I guess that's why I don't have an accent?
I pronounce cot and caught slightly differently as well.

not content with having an OOC schedule as laughable as baylor's, Wisconson continues to terrorize the english language with 'bubbler'.
The only way I knew of grinders prior to this was Adam Sandler's Lunch Lady song.

One of the more comical things about working in the Triangle NC area is that there's a few place that actually use the term 'grinder' in their marketing, which is a huge tell about where the people who work here mostly come from. No one south of the 'college football give a shit line' calls a sub a grinder.
I love how all the variations from sub (hoagie, hero, grinder and sub itself) are all used here. I use hero and sub myself.
If I hear someone say hero I assume they're mispronouncing gyro.
Yuck, yuck, awesome.

OSU copying Texas Tech yet again, for shame.
But do you use the word bubbler when referring to water fountains?
I'd love to see chicko's results to this poll.
Fixed.
