re: Ranking the size of SEC fanbases, IMHO

Yes you said it was nearly impossible for Fanbase A to be substantially bigger than Fanbase B in a state our size.

I told you why it could.

SC, like AL = no pro teams
SC, like AL = football ctazy
SC, like AL = similar population
SC, like AL = has a higher proportion of its population dedicated to both schools.
SC, like AL = can support two top 25 schools because of this.
SC, like AL = has 1 school that has a significant amount of more support than the other. Although the other has a respectable amount of support as well.

eta: All SC fans know Clemson has a substantial fan base, but what you are not getting is that yes it is in fact possible and a simple fact that SC's is notably bigger.

I think they don't read good.

Eta: I think whenever someone types "Clemson" it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull. It triggers some animal instinct to attack. Reason and logic are out.

I think these cocks are just butthurt that each list consistently ranked their fanbase behind ours. And they're using the fact that we called b.s. on their broad statement to expel some of this angst.

Nah I went to Missouri this one time. I only visited KC once though. If I had to rank the fan bases in that state it'd go..

Chiefs > Royals > Jayhawks > Cards > Mizzou = Rams.

Oh I forgot, I did drop by Mizzou's football stadium once. It's thousands and thousands of seats smaller than ours so our fan base must be at least 15,000 larger than Mizzou's.

Troll attempt 2/10.

I give you two points because you remembered that both the Royals and the Rams exist. Half of us even usually forget that.

ETA: You'll only have more seats than us until 2016. By 2014 we'll hold 78,000. 82-84K in 2016.

Why the frick would mizzou need that large a stadium for? That shite will never get sold out.

I'd switch Ole Miss and SCar. I've never seen a Cock fan to this date.

Why not? We sold out every SEC game this year (only Syracuse and SE Louisiana didn't.) There's no sign of that changing, especially considering:

A. All the new seats will be cheap seats, in the upper deck.
&
B. With the Rams leaving town, StL football fans will be more apt to drive 2 hours to see the game.

Didn't read this thread. Read this post on the last page and decided the thread is likely filled with just as many uninformed opinions. Anyone who thinks the Cards aren't at the top of that list has no clue. Had you said in KC, than maybe ok minus your attempted troll with kU, but you said "in that state".

With the help of Bama and UGA fans. Y'all's fanbase was very excited for the move to the SEC so of course most games were sold out. Once that wears off and you're team still sucks balls, the passion will fade thus the ticket sales will drop. And who says St. Louis is leaving?

---

I was at both of the games. Georgia fans showed up much moreso than the Bama fans. Each fanbase though dud have more representation than both Vandy and Kentucky combined. But neither were out of the ordinary for conference opponents. For the most part they were contained to the visitor section.

Nub and Gayhawk fans used to show up in force, taking up the sections to each side of the normal allotment. As I hope Tennessee and Arkansas will when they visit our home.

As far as the Rams are concerned, the StL sports commission refused to make the stadium upgrades described in the Rams lease agreement. Thus they are out of it after either the 2014 or 2015 season. And a company that Stan Kroenke (Rams owner) is a partner in, just got approval to build a stadium in L.A. So, they gone.
