Wait - footwear companies target basketball?
This is brand new information... |
And all that money still can't buy the attention or glory that football brings.
|
So how many McDonald's All Americans can 6.1 million buy, anyway?
|
The shit that Kansas fans are clinging to is hysterical.

The name "Tigers" alone simply doesn't work when even within your own conference there are multiple other programs which have logged so much more success with the same name. A complete overhaul of the color scheme, mascot, and branding could potentially do wonders for the school. |
Football and basketball are the top two period. Sure football generally makes a lot more, but they both deserve to be in the discussion.
And you can't fault Kansas fans, basketball being better than football is all their school knows. |

This list was just released, 50 most watched non-NFL sports events of 2013.
Yes the BCS NCG was number one but there are two college basketball games before you hit the 2nd most watched college football game. It's an even split. Amazing how so many on this board don't get it. The 50 Most-Watched Sporting Events of 2013 * Note: List does not include Tuesday’s (Dec. 31) bowl games. As the Peach Bowl is typically a strong performer, it may do well enough to crack the top 50. #Date League Event Net Rating Viewers 1 Mon., 1/7/13 CFB: BCS Champ.

What if things had gone differently?
What if Mizzou and aTm had stayed in the Big 12? What if the SEC, instead of taking aTm and Mizzou in order to expand their footprint and get into Texas, had taken West Virginia and TCU? Would the Big 12 be the best football conference of 2013? Mizzou aTm Baylor Oklahoma State Oklahoma Tech KSU Texas Iowa State Kansas Vs Auburn Alabama South Carolina LSU Georgia Vanderbilt Tennessee Kentucky Ole Miss MSU Florida Arkansas TCU WVU I give the nod to the Big 12 there... |

I enjoy college basketball a little bit less every year. There's no question that it's still a major sport, but for me, there's just so little of it that's actually worth watching. I hope the folks in charge of college football don't go too crazy with the playoffs. If it becomes a 32 team tournament, the regular season will be devalued to the point that it will damage the product, IMO. |

Muschamp has two things he needs to focus on in spring practice: 1, blocking guys from the other team instead of yours. 2, tackling guys from the other team instead of yours.

This picture is full of awesome. The Gator at the top does his job clocking two dudes at once. Meanwhile, Big Jim is over there tackling his own teammate: http://notsportscenter.com/wp-conten...cklesGator.jpg |
The truly amazing part about that play is that Florida STILL almost scored. How in the hell is that even possible?

That's absolutely hilarious. But you're the guy standing in the ruins of a burned down house making fun of your neighbor because his toast is burnt. |
I don't think the Florida fans consider 4-8 with a home loss to Georgia Southern (their first ever vs an FBS school) as merely "burnt toast".

Some teams, once in a generation, have a rough year. Others, once in a generation, win more games than their talent should. Yeah, I doubt a KU fan should be talking shit on Florida in either sport. |

Florida is the only school in the nation that practices with mannequins in wheelchairs instead of tackling sleds. The defender was only doing what he was taught.

Maryland Missouri Texas A&M TCU West Virginia Nebraska Rutgers Colorado Utah Pittsburgh Some quality programs on that list but far from elite. |
As far as the KU vs UF athletics comparison seemingly going on here I will admit that Florida's athletic program is better than KU's.
UF: NCAA Tournament Champion, BCS National Championship Game Winner KU: NCAA Tournament Champion, BCS Game Winner Florida is better. There's no denying it. |

By the way...this is what the bowl lineup for the best conference in the country looks like.
Auburn (#1 SEC) vs. Florida State (#1 ACC) Sugar Bowl: Alabama (#2 SEC) vs. Oklahoma (#2 Big 12) Capital One: South Carolina (#3/4 SEC) vs. Wisconsin (#3 Big Ten) Cotton: Missouri (#3/4 SEC) vs. Oklahoma State (#3 Big 12) Outback: LSU (#5 SEC) vs Iowa (#4 Big Ten) Chick-Fil-A: Texas A&M (#6 SEC) vs Duke (#3 ACC) Gator: Georgia (#7 SEC) vs Nebraska (#5 Big Ten) Compass: Vanderbilt (#8 SEC) vs Houston (#4 American) Music City: Ole Miss (#9 SEC) vs Georgia Tech (#6 ACC) Liberty: Mississippi State (#10 SEC) vs Rice (#1 CUSA) |

Rice is the only one, and the SEC #10 beat them 44-7. BCS conference or not, when the SEC 10 scores 44 straight points against a conference champion, that's a statement. |

Honestly, I've generally been a fan of Richt and despise Pelini, but Pelini out-coached the hell out of Richt merely by staying out of his own way. Mark Richt did everything in his power to lose that game and the Huskers damn near wouldn't let him do it. Seeing more of him these last couple of years kinda gives me an understanding of why so many GA fans dislike him. |
