2008 NCAA Football

I know I mentioned that I don't know college football as well as other sports, and that my question essentially started this whole conversation...but I think it's funny how college sports really bring out the partisan in everyone, even more so than politics. I can't say I disagree; ask me about UConn basketball or Boston U. hockey (or, alternately, BC athletics, Syracuse basketball or Georgetown basketball) and you'll get a strong response.

lol.. it's actually so eerily similar. We even seem to develop our own sets of talking points:

Unless you're with someone who can have reasonable discourse, two topics to avoid are sports and politics.

Big-time college football is the most visible example, but it happens across college sports. Boston University-Boston College hockey and the Harvard-Yale Regatta are a couple of examples that come to mind...
