He disappears for a few months after our bowl win to plot the perfect follow up post. Unfortunately, he isn't the brightest bulb and posted something from four years ago.

I don’t believe this map at all. It shows there are Illini fans in Illinois. I’ve lived there before. Didn’t know anyone that followed the Illini or cared.
Agreed. I've lived all of my non-college life within 10 miles of the Minnesota border, and I don't know a single Minnesotan that roots for the Hawkeyes, that isn't someone from Iowa living on that side of the line.
By the same token, I don't know anyone that's a hardcore Gopher fan either.
Not true. My wife went to ISU 2 years and finished her other two at Grand View and she is a Cyclone fan.
Probably my biggest takeaway from this map is how little certain states like Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado... etc care about their in-state college team.

Those are definitely three Pro sports states. California has enough population and teams that they have hardcore college and hardcore pro fans.
A stronger barometer would be time spent on a Cyclone message board. That's how I know you are one of ISU's biggest fans.
This is what Hok Fandom is all about. They are the chosen people. By just being a Hok fan, you are better. By being a Hok recruit, you automatically get 1 or 2 (or 3) more stars. Why? Well because they are Hoks and all power and glory flows through Hokdom. They must be better, I mean look at that map! To them this map just proves that. That is why they work so hard to talk up their recruits and the relevance of their programs.
Now, if the reality of results would just stop getting in the way, they could get on with their alternate world.
Daughter & SIL both graduated from Grand View, and they're both Cyclones as well as raising their daughter to be one.
General College. While technically correct, it was clearly a rivals thread.
Whoa. Need to dumb this down for Hok Trolls. Using data 2x in the same post is going to short circuit the @yeahbuddies around here.
Illinois is a "professional sport" state. College sports do not matter in the least here.
I can't stand sports fans here, btw. They all have completely unrealistic expectations when it comes to their teams. Bears fans never seem to come to grips with the facts that calling their team ownership "incompetent" is an insult to incompetent people. Same with the Bulls.
