Just a few points:

Having been stationed in Shreveport, LA, I discovered that several southerners have not yet received word that the War Between the States* is over.  It was in the papers but apparently not widespread.  They defined anyone north of the Louisiana/Arkansas line as a Yankee.

Having lived in Florida, I discovered that more than half the state is from the north.  It's kinda like, Miami is Northern Cuba and the rest is Southern NY (with some other northern states' expats thrown in).  Most people agreed that anyone north of the Florida/Georgia line (states not band) is a Yankee.

Having lived in Texas for the past Decade, there are a few that go overboard (Big surprise, I know) but most people are great.  I do like their definitions of a Yankee:  If you live in Brownsville**, anyone north is a Yankee, especially Dallas residents.  If you live in Houston, anyone north of I-10 is a Yankee, especially Dallas residents.  If you live in Dallas, anyone north of the Red River is a Yankee.  Most people in Texas are friendly, especially if you like dogs, horses, military, guns, fishing, or work in the oil and gas industries, any combination of the aforementioned characteristics makes a person that much more friendly.

All of that to say to the Orange:  Clemson is just a southern YANKEE with bad drawl!  NOW GO KICK THEIR POSTERIORS INTO NEXT WEEK AND RACK UP A "W"!

* Commonly referred to as the Civil War
** If you go any further south, you will be in Mexico, to which we are ALL Yankees or is it Yanqui?
