People outside the south do not know football

I am rolling out of a garage after a vehicle inspection, and I have an LSU football t shirt on. A middle aged fellow stops me and says "LSU, huh? That's where JaMarcus Russell went, right?"
I answer in the affirmative, and remark that he was at least good in college. So the guy says, "Well, he had good receivers to throw to in college, Marques Colston and Anquan Bolden."
Yeah, I know, cool story. Whatever.

No, they don't know SEC football.

Most of the Oregon "fans" I know don't even know they are opening the season with LSU. People tend to know the NFL over NCAA.

I don't know... Marques Colston and Anquan Bolden sounds just like Dwayne Bowe and Early Doucet.

Correct. In the South, college football is king.

I have a cool story about that too.
The Thursday after LSU was picked to play tOSU in 2007 I was waiting for a meeting to start at work. The guy next to me, a graduate of Villanova (go figure) said, "Hey, didn't you go to LSU? Did you realize your alma mater is playing in the national championship?"
No, dumbfrick, I wasn't parked in front of the TV set to watch the selection show like any SEC fan would. Not at all. No, I've been living under a rock all week and had no idea.

But in fairness to Oregon, those are Oregon fans in Alaska, right?

Hmmmmm, there are plenty of areas that know college football. Ohio area, Texas, Oklahoma all know their football.

Yeah, I know, I should have titled it people in New England don't know college football but I don't need comments and mini-dissertations about how it sucks up here. Because I already know.

It is, unfortunately, absolutely true. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I literally just stopped and stared at him for a few seconds. I didn't know how to respond with anything other than "Yeah, I know."

Hell it is hard to keep up with college football when you have chained yourself to a tree.

dude, was that you walking with your girl over by the hospitals that I yelled "Tigahs!" at?
probably not, but I doubt there were many in the Boston area wearing LSU football shirts today.
