even though i have no problems with valdosta, green bay was already titletown before this, espn had the nerve to declare something they cant's, it's on the fucking seal of green bay, valdosta instead of titletown, winnersville or something would be fine, just don't steal green bay's thing

@packers96worldchamps Actually, long before ESPN did this contest, Valdosta was always known as "Winnersville, USA". In fact, we still refer to ourselves more as Winnersville rather than TitleTown. A few businesses in town call themselves TitleTown and it's on the "Welcome to Valdosta" signs as you come into town, but our annual rivalry game is still called "The Winnersville Classic". And personally, I prefer Winnersville over TitleTown.

i'm a rising freshman going to Valdosta State University, an even tho i LOVE my old high school football team, the MLK Lions, i have to transition from being a Lion to being a Blazer

Good luck to you at VSU!

if it cant go to massillon i hope it goes to valdosta or parkersberg. there is no way that the likes of newyork, boston, pitt, ann arbor can match the small towns support, passion and overall winning %. the big citys overall arent even close. good luck in the competition!

[redjacket97]

I totally agree with you. The big cities have such fickle fans...*ahem*-Atlanta, Boston, New York-*ahem* that only root for a team when they win. Small towns (Massillon, Valdosta, etc.) still root for their teams in large numbers and with the same amount of pride and passion whether it's a good season or a bad season.

football is a religion in Valdosta on Friday nights in the fall.

Venting releases the inner frustrations but now do this: breathe in and breathe out AHHHHHHHHHHH see now does that feel better. Just breathe in and breathe out......see that felt better...maybe your town will win next time think positive

@packers96worldchamps Green bay was titletown, in the 60's. Pittsburgh, PA and New England have more rights to be called titletown than Green Bay, who, since their NFL Championship reign, has only won 4 Super Bowls. Waa, Waa, Waa

[nrabond007]

@packers96worldchamps not to mention "titletown" but as far as titletowns go, Green Bay is at the bottom of the top ten. Green Bay has won football titles, hooray, but what the hell else other products has Milwaukee and Wisconsin turned out besides the Bucks and Badgers? Green Bay is not Titletown, it is far from it. If anything, New York and Boston are at the top of the list, however, Valdosta is just as deserving for what it has done.

[imjtblanton]

Are you kidding me? Valdosta won this thing? What a joke. They shouldn't have even been in the top 20. LA and New York have won fifty times more titles than this city. Oh, and Green Bay is already called "Titletown USA". You can't just take that away from them with this silly contest.

Anyone talking about their state up in sourthen Canada needs to shut it. You've got hockey. Be happy with that. nyc and green bay? give me a break.

[BeastFromTheEastMj]

omg i would love to see massillon vs vadolsta

[rangers94ism]

Valdosta Sucks.  NYC is obviously title town. It's called reality people, look into it.

Rutland  Hurricanes is my team WE DA BEST N GEORGIA yea i said it

[Eagle027]

@packers96worldchamps Green Bay has one sport to claim any fame. Only one city in this country can truly call itself titletown and that's NYC. It has national championships in all four major US professional sports and holds the most.

Football more important than education in Titletown?

Lowndes student suspended for wearing Wildcat shirt

Valdosta, GA— Winnersville has landed a Lowndes High School tenth grader in in-school suspension. On Tuesday, Oct. 5, the student entered his first class at Lowndes High wearing a gray sweatshirt with the Valdosta High School colors and Wildcat paws. His teacher deemed the sweatshirt a disruption and asked him to remove the sweatshirt or turn it inside out. etc
