I would like to, while apropos of almost nothing, comment on the "SEC has the most fans" take, which IMO is like a PFT Commenter level take.

SEC schools are, more than maybe any other conference, frequently in the middle of fucking nowhere. In some cases there is literally nothing else to do besides go see that college's teams play games.
A lot of those people also just don't leave their hometown or home state. This, of course, in comparison to USC or UCLA not being able to draw fans is partially explained by the fact that there's a billion other things to do in LA, and it's a very transient metro area in comparison.

Let us look at these team by team. I will rank from most cosmopolitan to least, based entirely on my own understanding of these dumps. Specifically, outside of a couple exceptions, these places don't have any significant OTHER sports to obsess over or games to attend.

There's a lot of other stuff to do if ur IQ is over 75

These schools are in or in nearby proximity of actual cities, except for LSU because BR is a long hovercraft ride from New Orleans.

Nashville TN (Vanderbilt) - this is an obvious winner in this category. Even if Vandy was consistently mediocre as fuck (like half the SEC) I don't think there'd be a ton of people at these games. I have to imagine that a degree from Vandy also grants you some economic flexibility to leave town that a degree from (spins lotto ball cage) Missouri doesn't, so they don't have a great alumni built in fan base.

Athens GA (Georgia) - only here because of 90 minute proximity to Atlanta. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that most Bulldog home games aren't attended by people that live near Athens but rather people in the orbit of Atlanta.

Not bad especially if you're a full blown alcoholic or you think getting on a plane is cosmopolitan lefty elitist behavior so you never left

I assume that these mid-sized cities accidentally have alternate attractions to attending football games, but I'm ready to be challenged on this assumption!

Lexington KY (Kentucky) - Lexington is kinda fun. Keeneland is decent. Big enough to have a few museums or decent restaurants not in strip malls.

Knoxville TN (Tennessee) - Smokey mountains and shit, hunting raccoons, hanging with BIG SMO. Seems like there's some OK options besides throwing French's mustard bottles at cheerleaders.

Baton Rouge LA (LSU) - Again, this benefits from proximity to New Orleans, which is indeed a real city and a fun place to be murdered at a stop light. However the allure of LSU is such that I'm not sure BR has a whole lot else going on that would detract you from habitually going to Death Valley to watch yet another horrible QB fire worm burners into the turf and get repeatedly sacked while you chug corndogs

Probably fun if you're 22 but comical to think there's actual culture for real adults

College towns where there's stuff to do if you can't get a ticket to the game

Gainesville FL (Florida) - This is a huge state school so if you're in college or like date rape, mosquitoes, and Bud Light emerging product test markets, Gainesville is probably a gas.

Oxford MS (OLD MISS) - It's called Oxford so I'm going to make a sweeping assumption that it's not a total dump and is a fun college town but I'm guessing LANE TRAIN is the primary entertainment and that you can pay for tickets with EBT cards.

Auburn AL (Allbarn) - ditto Oxford minus Lane

Need Sherman to ride again

Nobody would know these towns even exist without their football and/or basketball teams, and they probably shouldn't exist

Columbia MO (Mizzou) - Ozarkian shithole, surely

Columbia SC (South Carolina) - SC grads I know actively talk shit about what a dump the town is

College Station TX (A&M) - lol

Starkville MS (MSU) - I saw like 40k people packing some College Baseball tournament game in the middle of the worst of covid, so yeah, there's fuck all to do here

Fayetteville AR (Arkansas) - I'm guessing the "Fayettenam" nickname isn't because they have great larb

Tuscaloosa AL (BAMA) - this is the largest city in the state when there's a home game by population so

They don’t even care about a pandemic. Played anyway while the pac and big were sitting on the sidelines. Sort of my point. They take it way more seriously than everywhere else. They pack 90-100k in stadiums with horrible teams and losing records. That shit supports paying 3 coaches at the same time. 2 of them are interning with saban lol.

You're way off on Fayetteville. The Northwest Arkansas metro area is one of most thriving metro areas in the country and quietly one of the wealthiest as well by some measures. Helps to have 3 Fortune 500s and a flagship university. Lots to do with both amenities (such as the world class art museum) and outdoor tourism (a burgeoning mecca for mountain biking). But you're right that there's no competition for the Razorbacks (despite some dumbass rumor that Walmart is going to buy an NBA or NHL team and move them to a new arena that is allegedly being constructed on Walmart-owned land).

Starkville, on the other hand, is hell on earth.

I lived in the Gainesville area for a bit. It's a pretty nice place to live other than all the blue and orange shit and the hellish traffic regardless of students being in town. Great live music scene; not far to beaches, Jacksonville, Orlando, or Tampa.

I mean this post sold me on the Fayetteville being in the top 3 of the SEC cities

but compared to LA, the Bay Area, Seattle, Boulder (Denver proximity) or even Tempe? This'd be in the bottom 3rd of the PAC college town rankings. Even Tucson has a pretty cool downtown area

Oh, for sure, the overall point stands. And the SEC schools' large fanbases are still derived from when the region had no professional sports. It's part of the culture now.

it definitely perpetuates the same garbage tho

the sec is tough because bama lost to 3-2 tamu, any team can beat any team, this is why it is the greatest conference in the world. There are no cupcakes. Bama has only lost to teams that have beat bama!

the pac is very weak because oregon lost to 2-2 stanford. The pac is having a down year. There is no clear cut winner here, any team can beat any team, this is why its the worst conference in the world. Oregon has only won vs teams that oregon beat and oregon is having a down year so there are no quality wins or losses here.


(obviously Stanford, Oregon and the PAC are awful this year and not the same caliber as mediocre but ranked TAMU and 2021\2022 NASHNUL PIONS Bama)

PAC-12 definitely has top school locations.

PAC-12 (LA, Seattle, MENVER, Bay Area)

ACC (Boston, Atlanta, Raleigh, PISSBURGH)
Big Ten(Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison)


Big 12(Austin, Dallas)
SEC (Nashville)

Big 12 and SEC are total trash, ACC only over Big 10 because the bottom of the Big Ten is garbage (West Lafayette, State College, and Lincoln, YIKES)

I don’t care enough to get mad and get into some argument with brick about it. What does it have to do with anything anyway? He’s just trying to bait me because he thinks I’ll get mad about Tennessee sucking. I merely pointed out how his ducks had it all lined up and would be in the playoff but they stepped on their dicks and lost to a really bad team.

There's a press conference at 3 CT where this is allegedly the announcement.



Guess we'll see if this just DONE DEAL or actually a done deal.

If they announce Venables today then they knew this was going down before Bedlam. No way they get blindsided at 2pm Sunday and have a contract negotiated and signed in 24 hours with another guy.

Rod was the OL coach at my highschool when I was a junior\senior. He ended up going to the U of MN with our center Ben Hamilton. Ben ended up being a 2 time AA and played for the Bronco's for about a decade. I didnt know what happened to Rod until turning on the Orange Bowl when FSU played Northern Illinois. I had to do a double take and sure enough it was him. Pretty funny. Too bad it didnt work out for him. I place blame on Danny Miaz.
