Touting the fact that the population-rich Northeast produces the same amount of football players as the farmlands of California is pretty sad. And let's not even compare the northeast to the South. Face it, the Northeast is a wasteland of talent compared to a large portion of the country, despite having a huge population advantage.Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-76670523716853457112014-01-21T01:54:28.699-05:002014-01-21T01:54:28.699-05:00"Mythical speed."
Huh?
I'm confu..."Mythical speed." <br /><br />Huh? <br /><br />I'm confused by the posting and the wording describing it. <br /><br />There's no such thing as "mythical speed." Sorry, I don't get it. <br /><br />And to answer the question of the post...No. It's not.<br /><br />We should embrace what/where/who we are by doing what we could do as well as anybody. Not recruit athletes from New York or Mass (really?), but go big, maul people, be the Seahawks of the northeast. We will hardly ever compete with the South based on athletes alone. Just won't happen. The good news is that there are many ways to skin a cat. Build the lines. Cope with the rest.

So much could be said. No one, even me, would...Wow. So much could be said. No one, even me, would say the northeast is barren, but look at that map. Boston, NY, Philly. Three of the top ten markets in the US so poorly represented. This is cultural. People not from or acquainted with the southeast would never understand that maybe the biggest piece of the emotional sports pie is directed toward college football. It's literally 24/7/365 down here and always has been. Yet, no one says anything when GB, Cincy, and Indy need extensions to sell out a NFL playoff game. Oh, but southern cities are so bad at pro sports. Right. How simplistic. Indy has a dome. GB has literally nothing else. Cincy too.<br /><br />Let's put it this way. Urban Meyer, clearly the best college coach outside of the SEC, needs to out-recruit hIs conference by a huge margin. SEC coaches don't need to do the same, simply because there is so much talent in the South. <br /><br />I was excited to see FSU win the title. But they had more talent than Auburn. But it's freakin' FSU. Recruiting NJ and western Pa just isn't the same. In a down year, the SEC still finished with three of the top five in the country. That's why I love reading the ramblings of some posters on here, like Nedfromwhocares who know NOTHING about college ball. Seven out of eight with a second isn't too shabby. The ACC should be so lucky in college basketball.<br /><br />I'm telling you. This is more about Friday nights than you know. That map is confirmation, if you still needed any.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.com
