Well, I’m off to Champaign-Urbana for a few days to visit niece, nephew, brother-in-law, etc. and also to visit with some former colleagues at the UIUC. Also, I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but for some reason I dislike the Cardinals. I’m mostly ambivalent towards the National League in general, but maybe it’s because the Cardinals fans in Champaign-Urbana (and there actually were a decent amount of them, being only two hours or so from St. Lous) when we lived there had the reputation of being the “hicks” compared to the more populous Cubs and White Sox fans. Just a thought.

Champaign is definitely Cardinials territory, so it follows that the Cubs fans would for the most part be suburbanites. And to them, everyone who’s not from the suburbs (or The City) is a hick.
There’s a natural corollary showing that the Cardinals fans are better drivers.
