ctwickman said:You know I was rooting for you until this post, since I'm from the South, but this post is just damn ignorance pure and simple. I bet you you have never been to a Big 10 game, and that ESPN radio show sounds like it was broadcast straight out of GA. Anything about the SEC is not "common knowledge" I'm sorry to say, and people in the North, Midwest, West could care less about the SEC as you obviously seem to care less about them.
I have been to a couple of those "big games" you mention and NONE of them compare to THE Big Game: Ohio State vs. Michigan at the Big House. None of those "big games" you mentioned seat 120,000 fans. None of them have spawned a whole series of television advertisements on ESPN.
Until you have gone to Ohio State vs. Michigan, at the Big House, you seriously have not lived if you like college football. It is literally an order of magnitude better than those "big games" you mentioned and I gaurantee, from the sound of your post, you will be shocked at how much bigger and more intense it is because you sound like you have a very low expectation of anything outside of the SEC. You owe it to yourself, as a clear fan of college football, to experience it at its best, so I would recommend taking a little road trip this fall.
thank you for this post! the big house is the biggest stadium there is. we always have the highest attendance record of any football game going on at the same time, and we hold the record for the highest attendance of any football game ever.
everyone has heard of the ohio st. vs. michigan rivalry. it is the biggest rivalry there is in college football. that attendance record we have just happened to be at an ohio st. game. i realize there is more to it than attendance, but ask any sports analyst or anyone involved in sports, and they'll tell you it is, in fact, the biggest rivalry.
have you seen the commercial with the two people making out, one in a michigan t-shirt and one in an ohio st. t-shirt. they say, without sports, this wouldn't be so disgusting. i don't believe i've seen any commercials about any other rivalrys.
and shades mccool, it is the big ten not the big 11.
