Predictions for BCs national title game?

[Benzgirl]

First of all, my friend TSteven plagiarized a website without quoting the source. Something that I guess they don't teach in southern schools. Here are some corrections to the site, the article, and to Mr. Steven.


STADIUM SIZE

What rock have you been hiding under? The 5 largest stadiums in the country:
Michigan (Big 10) Michigan 107,501
Penn State (Big 10) Beaver 107,282
Tennessee (SEC) Neyland 102,038
Ohio State (Big 10) Ohio 101,568 (102,329)
UCLA (Pac 10) Rose Bowl 95,000


North: Statues of founding fathers.
South: Statues of Heisman Trophy winners.

Do you really want to make this statement? The last 10 Heisman winners...
2006 Troy Smith (Big 10)
2005 Reggie Bush (Pac 10)
2004 Matt Leinart (Pac 10)
2003 Jason White (Big 12)
2002 Carson Palmer (Pac 10)
2001 Eric Crouch (Big 12)
2000 Chris Weinke (SEC)
1999 Ron Dayne (Big 10)
1998 Ricky Williams (Big 12)
1997 Charles Woodson (Big 10)


Getting to the Stadium
North: You worship it's entrance. If you want to hear the skull session (band pre-game) you must be there 2 hours in advance to get a seat. TBDBITL undeniably!

Game Attire
A Northern Woman wouldn't be caught dead wearing Lilly Pulitzer to a game. It clashes with team colors
A Northern Man simply wears a jersey bearing the number of his favorite Heisman winner:
ACC 5 Winners
Big 10 14 Winners
Big 12 11 Winners
Pac 10 10 Winners
SEC 7 Winners
Notre Dame 7 Winners (same as SEC combined. Ain't that special?)

After the Game
Northerners and their teams can't leave the field until they have sung their Alma Matter
Southern teams just repeat Cliches through the entire game, "Go Gators", "Hotty Toddy gawdy gawdy", "Roll Tide Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, Get those doggies rollin". By the time the game ends, they are so confused they can't find their way out of the stadium.


I could go on and on of your inaccuracies, but you are just not worth it.

ETA: And if my homecoming queen was a Physics Major, instead of a ditzy Miss USA, the north would have bragging rights hands down. (Internal Beauty, Scholarship and accomplishments vs. external beauty)

Woohoo! You go on with your stat-bad self, sister!! *gasp* And you're a GIRL! Tell 'em how it is in the BIG stadiums where they play in short-sleeves in the snow. Girls in frilly dresses couldn't hack a game in November in PA or OH or Wisc. and the boys in their collared shirts would get all rumpled. We wear and yell our school spirit, and yes, the girls do yell just as loudly and as knowingly as the boys, thank you very much. We're all raised in our GRAND football traditions up here too. So whether it was a "generalization" or not (don't think he needs your defense, SEC, but thanks), it was waaaaayyyyy off. And deserved the rebuttal.

Ummmm.... It's a widely circulated email. TSteven did not just make that up for GreekChat. It's fun to hear the retorts, but to call him "just not worth it?" Srsly?

Being southern from a very serious college football town that epitomizes all of the statements about "South" in the email, I got a good chuckle out of it. Especially when we included one of our best friends who is from Penn State. He retorted with some very humorous notes about the superiority of his alma mater, and we all took it in good humor - what it is meant for.

My email had the following funny at the bottom. This is a joke. It is not an expression of my personal beliefs. I happen to know for a fact that these are not literally accurate. But they are funny to read. So for those with a sense of humor, read on....

And for SEC Fans:
HOW MANY SEC STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?


At VANDERBILT: it takes two, one to change the bulb and one more to explain how they did it every bit as good as the bulbs changed at Harvard.

At GEORGIA: it takes two, one to change the bulb and one to phone an engineer at Georgia Tech for instructions.

At FLORIDA: it takes four, one to screw in the bulb and three to figure out how to get stoned off the old one.

At ALABAMA: it takes five, one to change it, three to reminisce about how The Bear would have done it, and one to throw the old bulb at an NCAA investigator.

At OLE MISS: it takes six, one to change it, two to mix the drinks and three to find the perfect J. Crew outfit to wear for the occasion.

At LSU: it takes seven, and each one gets credit for five Semester hours.

At KENTUCKY: it takes eight, one to screw it in and seven to discuss how much brighter it seems to shine during basketball season.

At TENNESSEE: it takes ten, two to figure out how to screw it in, two to buy an orange lampshade, and six to phone a radio call-in show and talk about how much they hate Alabama.

At MISSISSIPPI STATE: it takes fifteen, one to screw in the bulb, two to buy the Skoal, and twelve to yell, "GO TO HELL, OLE MISS."

At AUBURN: it takes one hundred, one to change it, forty-nine to talk about how they did it better than at Bama and Georgia, and fifty to get drunk and roll Toomer's Corner when finished.

At SOUTH CAROLINA: it takes 80,000, one to screw it in and 79,999 to discuss how this finally will be the year that they have a decent football team.

At ARKANSAS: None. There is no electricity in Arkansas

Big10 fans, it was a generalization. I'm pretty sure he knew how huge the stadiums in the Big10 are- and that the fans are pretty intense.

But you all have forgotten, the ESPN coaches survey came out with a list of the most feared stadiums to play in:
1- LSU
2- Virginia Tech
3- Florida
4- USC
5- Penn State
6- Clemson
7- Miami
8- Oklahoma
9- Ohio State
10- California

Red schools in the south, blue in the north.

If LSU is #1, then Most Feared = Most obnoxious fans
