In the WAC.
I know you think the Big XII doesn't play defense, but c'mon...

Are we playing 'my guy's Heisman is better than your guy's Heisman' with Calvinball rules?

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...

^speaking of heated rivalries.... Like the BU-BC hockey etc... what about one of the greatest rivalries ever Duke-UNC basketball. Now that is a rivalry.

I don't see how any rivalry could be greater than OU-TX, but I suppose we all have our own regional biases.

Yeah, it's definitely a regional bias thing. BU-BC hockey is pretty intense, as is Duke-UNC basketball. I'm a big UConn mens basketball fan, but there's not really a particular rivalry there; fans of the basketball have pretty much equal hatred for Syracuse, Duke, Georgetown and any number of Big East schools...

Well, I grew up in NC and now have a huge stake in the OU-TX rivalry, but I have to say that in my experience, the UNC-Duke basketball rivalry is way more intense than the OU-TX football rivalry.
It even carries over to HS sports, which is interesting. The college rivalries influence what matters in high school sports. Basketball, for the most part, is THE high school sport in NC. And in Texas it's football...

^agreed.
Granted here, the BIG sport is football & baseball with basketball a close 2nd. The main reason being is the GA-FL rivalry. But I can definitely understand the intensity of the Duke-UNC rivalry because I got to go to Cameron last year for the game and OMFG is all I can say, that game was AWESOME!!! BEST college basketball game i've been to by far (and that includes march madness regionals etc..)

Lotsa good news out of Happy Valley: JoePa's signed a 3-year extension through 2011! I really thought this would be his last year and was glad he'd be going out after such a good season, but he's just not done yet, apparently. 2009 will be his SIXTIETH year coaching at Penn State. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3774049
AND Newsome backed out of Michigan and committed to Penn State! HA! http://pennstate.scout.com/2/822004.html

Awww. Good news on Jo Pa. You know, I would hate to be the guy that replaces him upon his retirement. Talk about big shoes to follow.
