Because if SEC/ACC fans or fans of a Southern pro franchise even dared to behave like this we'd hear sweeping indictments about poor education and having the proper perspective about sports. For example, Alabama fans as a group have caught more s### for ONE lone tree poising nutcase than any Big Ten fans (tOSU after their nat'l title in football), West Virginia, UCLA (after winning the 1995 basketball title), most Northern pro franchise fanbases has when they without fail riot and destroy property after most of their championships. When these fanbases do it it's somehow marginalized as a few rowdy fans letting off some steam.
We don't have too many summer sports pro franchises in the South. Summer here would the best time to riot, everybody without A/C is probably half crazy from the heat anyway, and half drunk just to deal with that fact. We have the Braves in ATL, and that's about it. Miami is less like anything "South" unless you're referring to South America, so I'm not counting the Marlins, and Tampa is a retirement home for people from the Northeast, so they don't count as "South" either.
