New Hampshire Wildcats - Official Pregame Thread

don't overlook new hampshire. it is the only state of the original 13 that didn't have a battle with the brits take place in it during the revolutionary war.

that's how scary the new hampshirites are. the brits were afraid to enter the state.

fear the men of granite.
 
I’m not proud of my stupidity, but when it comes to identifying the shape of Vermont and New Hampshire on a map, it’s still a 50:50 proposition.

Since the game itself has the potential to be a bit of a snoozer, and Burrito has felt the need to meld NH with Canada, as a granite state native I thought I would take the opportunity to share some items that may be of interest as we await the inevitable beating our Buffs will provide the Wildcats.

While NH might be one of the least diverse states in the country racially (thankfully that appears to be changing), it offers one of the most environmentally diverse palettes of any state. Yes, NH has the farms and forests that produce world class maple syrup, but in addition there is a vibrant seacoast for beaches and sailing, some really challenging mountains for hiking and skiing, and one of the most beautiful National Forests in the country (White Mountain National Forest).

(Our Buffs competed in Jackson, NH during the NCAA Championships in 2017)

While NH's population is pretty small (1.3 Million), the Live Free or Die state has pumped out a large number of notable folks...
- The first man in space, Alan Shepard
-The 14th President of the United States, Franklin Pierce
- Authors John Irving, JD Salinger, and Dan Brown
- Poet Robert Frost
-Yosemite climbing legend Dean Potter
- Actors Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Seth Meyers, and Mandy Moore
- Metal music legend Ronnie James Dio
- The band Aerosmith was formed in Sunapee, NH
- Athletes Carlton Fisk, Matt Carpenter, Brian Wilson (SF Giants), Chip Kelly (coach), Triple H of the WWE, Olympic Skier Bode MIller, Olympic Swimmer Jenny Thompson, Olympic Gold medalist in hockey Tara Mounsey, Cy Young award winner Mike Flanagan, and former San Antonio Spur Matt Bonner

Many folks find themselves in New Hampshire due to its number of world class educational institutions. Dartmouth College has produced a number of notable alums, while Phillips Exeter Academy and St. Paul's School are numbers #1 and #3 respectively in the latest Most Prestigious Boarding School rankings. https://www.businessinsider.com/most-elite-boarding-schools-in-america-2016-2

New Hampshire has its own personality, which is described as being more independent or libertarian. In my time out west its been common place for most who I meet to just think of New England as one big area, but locally I can tell you that those in NH, VT, and ME feel as if that is the real New England. Massholes are generally detested as loudmouth nuisances on vacation, while RI is barely even a blip on the radar and CT is just a suburb of NYC. A very dull one at that.

So that's a bit of a taste of NH for some of you who may have no clue what the hell is happening over there. Maybe you found some of this interesting, more than likely not, but coming off from two rivalry games it's hard to generate much of a buzz for this one. Hopefully this will at least generate a little interest for the team coming to town on Saturday. Considering it is about 48 hours until kickoff and we are still on the first page of the game thread.

"Vibrant seacoast" apparently means 13 miles on the ocean, none of it equaling Cape Cod's beaches or Maine's shoreline. The rest is pretty spot on, though mentioning "world class boarding schools" without saying "douchebag" seems to leave out a lot.

The weirdest thing is how different Vermont and New Hampshire are. Maybe not if you view hippies and survivalists as similar.
 
I’m guessing NYC’s daddy didn’t send NYC to Exeter.

His boss’s daddy, however ....

Cape Cod is a ****ing joke. Place sucks.

There are definitely some nicer beaches in Maine, for sure. But hangout in Portsmouth, NH and tell me that it isn't a vibrant seacoast.

My daddy sent me to Alamogordo High School. I'm not sure where my boss went to HS, but she graduated from UCLA, Princeton, and Columbia, so there's a certain amount of douche there for sure.

Cape Cod Baseball is best around. Go to the year around towns such as Orleans, not Chatham. Not a beach place. Don’t go if you want traditional beach stuff.

You're just being silly. You know good and well that there are better beaches nearby than in NH. Yes, Cape Cod is full of Massholes, but they and the Canadians (or are they New Hampshirites?) are easy to ignore.

I fully admit that Maine has much better beaches.
