From my understanding most of the Deep South consider Florida and Texas to be their own subsets within the broader southern region.

I’ve heard from NASCAR fans that they consider places like Texas to be its own thing, and I heard from a civil engineering YouTuber named Mileage Mike (who is from Texas ironically enough) that Florida is considered its own subregion in the south.

Missouri is officially classified as a Midwestern state but honestly most of the state feels pretty Southern

There’s a difference between southern and rural

A&M is obnoxious, loud, extremely loyal to their teams, has weird ass traditions, and constantly produces good teams that fall short. They are literally the embodiment of the SEC

Panhandle and most of north Florida is southern. The rest of Florida is its own thing, but still mostly southern. And then there’s Miami. Miami is not southern

Culturally. Miami is obviously the most geographically southern out of everything that’s been listed lol

Kentucky as in Lexington is not as SEC as the other schools, but the fanbase and rest of the state apart from maybe the far eastern part in Appalachia is VERY SEC. Vanderbilt is definitely the least imo because of its location and its fanbase

Historically though, since they’re one of the OGs, it’s kinda hard to put them in that spot over Texas. Like others have said, Texas is its own subset of culture

There is. But Missouri is heavily influenced by a lot of the same influences of the South as well. It’s not just a rural thing. Missouri is part of the Bible Belt, half of the state was under Confederate control in the Civil War, lots of foods and drinks from the South are popular in Missouri as well, etc. For lots of places in Missouri, it feels like an extension of Arkansas or Tennessee

How much of Missouri have you driven through because I’ve been to pretty much every part except the ozarks, and while the lowlands near the Mississippi River are most definitely culturally southern, the rest of the state is very much not

That can be said about a lot of places too ngl. Everywhere near a river valley that’s not too far north feels pretty southern. Southern Illinois and Indiana feel a lot more like the southern ish parts of Kentucky than they do the Midwest

I’d say the Ozarks and the Mississippi River areas of Missouri count as southern, but everything else is more Midwest imo

I’ve lived in Mid-Missouri my entire life. St. Louis and Kansas City are definitely Midwestern, and other parts of the state are as well, but Southern Missouri and parts of Mid-Missouri are pretty Southern. The Ozarks are definitely the most Southern area of Missouri tho
