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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
