Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3194378, member: 6485"] Yes I was reading your earlier post and agree, NE isn't an area where there is much interest in football outside of the professional franchises. BC and Rutgers are both in P5 conferences UConn would love to be in but they aren't football hotbeds. Football is major in the south and midwest, with some pockets here and there other places. In Mississippi we (still) don't have professional franchises and the same with Alabama. I remember when Tennessee got the Titans while I was in school at MSU and that was a first. Of course I'm in Atlanta now which is football mad with the Falcons as well as rabid alums of Georgia, Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, and many other ACC and SEC schools. Still, it was fun trying to explain to a friend of mine a couple of years ago who grew up in New Hampshire why college athletics were such a big deal here compare to there. [/QUOTE]
