I don't understand why you guys want to get personal. Sorry your college teams and conferences aren't very good

Depends on whos playing. LSU vs Bama was good.

Watching a 6-3 game between New Mexico State and Southwest Colorado Vo-Tech would not.

I like shootouts myself.

Because as with most everything else in the world the south cant see outside is narrow view of its own area.

I completely understand preferring a high scoring vs. low scoring game, but theJosh said that he would prefer a blowout win to a competitive, low scoring game in the national title game. Of course, I enjoy seeing my team blow out opponents in that situation, but in a general sense, that's just not what most enjoy about sports.

That's where you're wrong. There are other good teams and conferences outside of the SEC.

Based on who has won the championship for the past several years, the evidence suggests that the best of the rest just aren't as good as the best of the SEC. I think there are some teams that can compete with the SEC from year to year, but on the whole, there is simply no comparison with any other conference. That's not arrogance. That's not subjectivity. That's the objective evidence.

I could stereotype Californians in a similar way, but I guess "those of us in the south" were raised not to be so judgmental of other people.

Blowouts are nice against good teams. Southern California crushing Oklahoma was awesome.

Will chime in later with this week's chaos.

Thing is if I'm gonna get bored I'd rather it be with scoring all over the place which is less likely to do so than the snoozer LSU/Bama put up earlier.

You can be arrogant even if you're winning all the time. I agree the SEC has some of the best teams in the country but if you ask most of them they're the only ones playing "amazing" football.

The south isn't judgemental? Come on now.

Yeah you prefer to keep trying to live below sea level and wonder why your city flooded.

So now he has to move to California so he can be a winner like you?

I don't believe he said that.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

I don't believe he said that.

Agreed....I don't know why a comment like that is relevant to a discussion of who should play in the MNC.

 

[drbrad1975]

I can't totally disagree with that.

The sad thing is when you have to use personal attacks, you know you have lost the argument.

I didn't attack anyone personally.

Wouldn't a personal attack include someones name? To bad I haven't said anything about southern intelligence since there is so much ammo.

Nope, it can be inferred. I could tell a lame joke too, but I know you are only shooting blanks.

Alright now would be a good time to get away from the current path.

I can agree with that, I just don't want to see Stanford in the championship. They would get killed. OSU would be a better choice.

No more so than anywhere else. My post before was tongue-in-cheek, because I realize how ridiculous it is to engage in that kind of overly judgmental, stereotypical behavior.

Yeah you prefer to keep trying to live below sea level and wonder why your city flooded.

I guess it makes more sense to keep building houses out in the middle of dry-ass, wooded areas? Or to be living beyond your means for so long that your debt situation becomes a national punchline? Or to think that someone is a capable governor because he beat up Predator? I wouldn't be hurling stones is all I'm saying.
