Yup, had a home game at night like that against Texas two years ago. Vince Young said it was the hardest he'd been hit and the loudest crowd he'd played in front of. I was at the Michigan game last year as well and if you're talking about over 105,000 standing, jumping and screaming the entire game then yeah, I know the atmosphere. I've also been to games at RFK in the first Joe Gibbs era. If you've never felt a stadium move under you it can be a disturbing feeling. I'll know by Friday if I have tickets to the game. If so, I look forward to the experience and eating your food and drinking your beer if you're sharing.
Actually, I was referring to the 200k still camped outside the stadium who didn't get tickets but never leave. If you go to NOL, come back with your report card and let us know what you think...:thumb:
Yeah, but the main way I see that long list is like this: Of the 7 most elite teams on that list, 5 are SEC teams, 2 are Big Ten teams. Total Appearances in the AP Poll, 2000-today 120 -- Florida 119 -- Georgia, Michigan 117 -- Ohio State 107 -- LSU, Tennessee 82 -- Auburn Total Appearance in AP Top 10, 2000-today 82 -- Ohio State 69 -- Florida, Georgia 59 -- LSU 48 -- Michigan 41 -- Tennessee 29 -- Auburn Total Appearance in AP Top 5, 2000-today 49 -- Ohio State 36 -- LSU 33 -- Florida 24 -- Georgia 23 -- Michigan 17 -- Auburn 10 -- Tennessee Total Appearances at AP #1, 2000-today 21 -- Ohio State 4 -- Florida, LSU
The only thing that stands out to me is how this guy is running around and copy pasting that same post in every thread trying to stir chit up. Oh, and the red mark he has received for doing so.
Also, have you ever seen a thread started that says "Big 10 vs Big 12" or "Big 12 vs PAC 10"??? It always seems to be "SEC vs insert your conference here" :huh:. Kinda tells ya something.
It's a fact that most of the NFL talent comes out of the Southeast and it's no secret the Southeast is loaded with more football talent than any other part of the country.
This is the total for all conferences: Players on 2007 NFL opening day active rosters 263 -- SEC 238 -- ACC 234 -- Big Ten 183 -- Pac 10 176 -- Big 12 84 -- Big East And I came across a post by a Nebraska fan on rivals that showed were the 2007 Rivals250 prospects (the freshmen this season) went by conference: 72 SEC 36 Big 12 34 ACC, Big Ten 33 Pac-10 6 Big East Point is that most of the good recruits want to go play in the SEC (and that the Big East is garbage).
Also, here is a good article (2004) from rivals showing SEC states dwarf the rest of the US in the number of NFL players that were born and raised down here (which is not surprising, since we have such a high percent of African Americans in the SEC states). http://rivals100.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=259347 What was is not surprising is that D.C., Mississippi, and Louisiana have the most NFL players per capita. It's not surprising because MS and LA have the three highest % of African Americans in the US. For the US census map showing the black population percentage, see http://www.census.gov/geo/www/mapGallery/images/black.jpg It was too large to post, but a better map
