Although the voters might just put Florida or LSU in there instead.

But the pac 12 isnt bad its just diffent. Of course the SEC is going to be better when kids grow up on football and end up at SEC schools playing football for the most part. Its just a way of life in the south where everywhere else the choice of which sport to play varies more. But to bandwagon to the SEC just because they are better is rediculous. What happened to sticking to a team win or lose...your on a seahawks bored where we are a very deticated bunch despite our history of not being all that great and we take much pride in that.

You are a flavor of the week kind of guy, you don't have the balls to attach yourself to a team, you just speak in wild generalities about how great the SEC is.

You are the worst kind of sports observer, an ignorant front running troll who attaches himself to a sport not for the love of the game, but for the love of being right. That's weak my friend.

I think its also a bit low that people are taking shots at Oregon fans crying, aren't we all diehard fans? Don't we all live and die by this stuff? Aren't we crushed at defeat? That's two years in a row the Ducks have lost a November home game in heartbreaking fashion, haven't we lost in even more excruciating ways?

As a fan of the PAC 12, I was disappointed with the result, but also very impressed with Stanford. They coached and played an unbelievable game, much props to the Cardinal.

LOL. Weak smack. We can agree on one thing atleast. The SEC is the BEST Conference. Why would I attach myself to a team here when I grew up in Seattle/Tacoma? That would be bandwagon. And the generalities are the truth. Sucks for you that it bothers you. And what the hell does that mean that I attach myself to a sport and not the love of the game? That doesn't even make sense. Think about it? Stupid comment. Oh, and its low to take shots at Zero's fans crying in the stands when they are considered the most obnoxious fans in college football? LMAO, we call it karma, trust me Auburn fans haven't forgot how crappy the Zero's fans acted a couple years ago. The stories I heard made me hide that I was originally from that neck of the woods. And yes I was impressed with Stanford too, they had the style of team to do what Auburn and LSU did to the Zero's. Slow down that offense and run it down their f'n throats and let the Zero's beat themselves with that fast tempo offense.

By the way Zero's fans. You think selling out your 55,000 stadium for the last 10 or so years is impressive? We call 55,000 fans...... a god damn Spring Game down here. 55,000 is crap.

People use sports for personal vindication, they root for teams so they can thump their chest and act like it says something about them.

As a lover of football, as you profess to be, I think you should give more credit to the coaches that have to scheme to make up for a lack of talent rather than drooling over the simplified offenses that win strictly because of 1 on 1 matchups(LSU, Georgia) that you find in the SEC. Is football at its best played with the best athletes? Just because they win doesn't mean they've done justice to the game. You really love football? Go watch the MAC, the breeding ground of some of the greatest coaches, systems and schemes in college football history. Not into gimmick offenses like some in the MAC or Oregon. I like real football. Heads up, mano y mano, man to man, punch you in the mouth, run it down your throat and make you stop me. If the no huddle fast tempo would have worked it would have been done since Sam Wyche developed it with the Bengals when he was trying to keep up with Dick Lebeau in practice.

And yeah, SEC football and the game week experience is relatively unrivaled, no argument there, half that conference is on my stadium bucket list, but there is also jack shit to do in the South. Your from up here, you know all the different options a person has to spend their free time. Not so much in the South. You beat your chest that its better, like we should feel guilty that we don't tailgate for three days before games, that our stadiums are smaller, for a lot of people, they just have better things to do. Down there, what are the other options?Depends what you like to do? Hunt, fish, vacation in the sun in the Keys/Carribean , scuba without wearing a dry suit and have 100% visibility, play on white sandy beaches unlike the rocky cold beaches up there, eat good food, Bourbon Street/French Quarter, South Beach, 6 Flags stuff, watch the best college football, road or boat trip the east coast. Pacific Northwest has mountains and shit weather, thats about the main difference. You ever wonder why so many retire in Arizona/Florida? I put up with it for 30 years. Go to work and its dark, get off and its dark. Rain every day..... trust me I know thats exactly what its like back there right now until May. I remember when it rained for like 30 some days straight lol. Yeah it sucks to have to wear flip flops, t-shirt and shorts 90% of the time.

You constantly look at the what, and not the why, the trappings of an ignorant mind.

I'm sure there are a lot of Ducks fans who are annoying (hell, i'm sure I am one of them at times) but its all in fun. I've never heard of any TBagging incidents related to Duck games. We dont poison each other's sacred tree's. Thats saved for the sophisticated and wonderful fans of the SEC I guess.

I'd gladly take on any SEC Team this year and I hope we get to face one in whatever bowl game we get to play. There's not an SEC team that scares me. Which isnt saying that we'd roll all over any of them, but I think we'd have a good shot against any of them.

Btw, I was crying like a baby walking out of the Superbowl in Detroit. I feel no shame at all in being bitterly dissapointed when my team loses.

Your entire post reeks of ignorance. We agree to disagree.

Thats why the Sonics play in Oklahoma City.



Look at all those professional franchises in the Northwest. 25+ South East to 3 Pacific Northwest. And last I checked UNC and Duke also play in North Carolina. Drrrr us poor Southerners suffer with our economic diminishes and we can't attract professional sports thats why we root for dem college football teams drrr. Also Nascar and Pro Golf is here...not there. Good point.

pinksheets wrote:Oh my mistake, Nascar and Golf...whoops!

Crap markets that professional leagues don't want a lot to do with, not to mention Seattle will likely soon have 4 teams, and likely will support them all well. Atlanta is a decent market, but then again, the Hawks get no support, same with the Bobcats, same with the Jaguars, same with the Grizzlies, same with the Hornets, and on and on. Those areas are money pits, sorry. Perhaps part of professional sports struggling there is the prevalence of college sports, but certainly the inverse is also true. I'm not going to waste my time with the whole Southerns are dumb schtick you're trying to use to belittle the point.
