College, Pro or NASCAR?

I'd say college, but I'm sure it's regional.

Ask a New Yorker, and he'll say Pro football/basketball. Ask someone in Nebraska, and they'll say college football/basketball fan. Ask someone in Mooresville, and they'll say NASCAR. So based on that breakdown...overall...I'd have to go with college since there are many states that have no real defined Pro football/basketball allegiance and others around them in their immediate area to despise.

This..

Very Regional

Northeast - Pro and it's not even close. College rivalries barely exist. People live and die for pro sports....literally in many cases.

Southeast - College and it's not even close.

Overall nationally I would think it is college as well but as big as the NFL is and MLB in the Northeast it's hard to be sure.

I'm kinda lumping all the college rivalries together in this. And not so much number of people as intensity. Ohio and Michigan fans, for example, hate each other with the fire from a thousand suns.

Pro? Other than the really old rivalries (Bears-Packers, Cowboys-Redkins, Raiders-The World, etc) I don't know if it gets near that bad.

NASCAR? That old thing you did as a kid where you'd put two wasps in a jar, shake it and watch them fight...That works with NASCAR fans too. Just walk into a gathering, say something like "Jeff Gordon sucks" then step back and watch the fireworks.

I don't have any hatred for any particular NASCAR team or driver. Use to, but my interest in the sport has lessened somewhat over the past few years, since my favorite driver has retired.

Which would I rather see destroyed by a meteor? The Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor stadium, or the new Cowboys stadium? Well, I can't really decide between the three. :)

In my opinion, the college sports rivalries are the most intense, although with the conferences shifting the way they are, that might change.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
