What? Gallaudet University is not on that list! Oh, wait! Gosh! I forgot that Gallaudet is not even a Division I school. :wink:

i bet if you added the amount of unc stuff that was stolen, they would be #1

Tennessee is ranked #5. That means by using the modified Fulmer Scale, my alma mater should be way out of the Top 25 by April.

Nine of the Top 25 are SEC teams.

Not a sermon. Just a thought.

Happy Bowl Season Everybody!

All that means is that people in the south have nothing better to do with their time than watch college football... :wink:

12 Southern teams (9 SEC, 3 ACC) in the Top 20. Those in the South don't just watch football, we live it.

Not to get off topic, but if NASCAR is that big, then why is there not stadium seating along the 405 in LA or the 75/85 interchange in Atlanta? How about the mixing bowl in DC? Municipalities that are building super speedway need to watch The Simpsons epsiode entitled Monorail to learn a hard life lesson. Enough with the NASCAR already.

Ever heard of pedestrianism? Biggest sport in America at the turn of the last century. Where is it today? I rest my case.

College Football Saturdays, Nascar Sundays... works out just right
