Never had Bear Bryant's record (though Paterno and Bowden did) and he was fired for having a temper tantrum. Oh, yes, and...HE'S DEAD.

Compare those academic and athletic world-class Big Ten schools to Mississippi, Miss. State, South Carolina, and the other dregs of the SEC. Sure, Vanderbilt is a decent school, but one goody can't pump up 11 losers.

Eli Manning also won some academic and athletic awards (Can't remember)...and Peyton graduated Cum Laude in 3 years.
Also...I agree that some of the schools in the Big Ten are excellent schools...but don't insult my school.
