2009 College Football Season Thread

University of Minnesota football was good before? :blink:

Used to have the most wins, and national titles of any program.

Haven't done jack shit in 50 years though.

Don't worry you won't do anything in sports at minnesota for a long time with tubby smith and whoever your football coach is.

I know I've slammed the South before, but I also think college football is bigger there.

Football, yes, sports in general, not really.

Even in football, the North has OSU, Michigan, Michigan State, etc.

Teams with huge followings.

I know that pretty much every team in the SEC has a massive following, but I don't think that you can really say college sports in general have a bigger following in the South.

I'd take you seriously if you weren't a Cavs/Browns/Indians fan.

[Emmz]

Yes, and we all know how legendary Tayshaun Prince and Rajon Rondo were

[suns]

If you don't think Tayshaun was at least legendary at UK then I'm not sure what legendary means to you.

I was just refering to Football, not basketball or any other sports.
Historical Teams from the North (let me know if I miss anything)
Notre Dame
Michigan
Ohio State
Wisconsin
Penn State
Michigan State
UConn
BC

I know Im missing alot but those are the teams with big followings off the top of my head

Southern Teams
Texas
Oklahoma
Texas A&M
Nebraska(could be considered with the north)
LSU
Tennessee
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
TCU
Florida State
Miami
Auburn

all of these have followings of people, even if some of the teams aren't as great as they used to be they have massive fan bases and die hard fans, I know more about the South than the North, so I may be biased, and I don't know about as many of the teams from the north so please mention any that I may have left out.

University Of Minnesota has 6 National Titles, all of them from the start of National Title play to 1960.

They're pretty much historic... Just Ancient Historic.

And most consider Nebraska to be in the North.

And isn't USC South, too?

Syracuse... North

Minnesota is really good at Hockey.

[Emmz]

Yeah, they blow this year though. They usually are in the Frozen Four, but this year, no dice.

Didnt count USC, because USC isn't what most people would consider "The South" and their fans aren't as passionate about it as, say a, die hard Bama or LSU fan.

They have a pretty historic program if you count their players, and they have a strong following, but they're more known for producing some really great NFL talent, like Donovan McNabb, Dwight Freeney, Marvin Harrison, Ernie Davis and Jim Brown... Ernie Davis, though, never really got a chance to excel in the NFL... Sad story.
