Particularly from the "Near South" (as opposed to the "Deep South" - not Florida, LSU, Georgia, etc.), states along the Mason-Dixon line down into the Carolinas. I'm sure there are some fine football players in those parts but it never is good to be locked into one area of the country, even Texas.
It's not really so much of a gripe as it is a curiosity, sort of like their fascination with Nigerian d-linemen.
