What makes the rivalry great to those in the state of Alabama likely doesn't have the same effect in Wisconsin.


Which goes back to my point. The Southeast is traditionally a college sports region. Hell, for years everyone in this part of the country cheered for the Braves because that was the only MLB team. Pretty much still is. And only 2 states had NFL teams.

I don't disagree w your premise (hell, I'm as collegiately wired as they come); just repeating that b/c the IB is legendary to you, doesn't make it so to the population at large.

Good stuff.
