If you think that about Clemson, what are your thoughts on Tuscaloosa?
Clemson has a population under 15,000. It's not a city by any stretch. All the other places, even State College, have populations above 40,000. To call Clemson, or even State College for that matter, a city makes this list misleading at best and shite at worst.

Welcome to the conversation Gamecock fan. Not all of us can live in an urban war zone like Columbia.

Clemson stacking up Ws and South Carolina stacking up Ls, or are they even Ls if you're so painfully irrelevant?
I'm not sure, but 2019 has been great so far.

What's your population threshold for a city? Fargo has more people than you'd think it does
Posted on 2/16/19 at 1:06 am to lsutiger2011
Fargo, Tuscaloosa and Tallahassee are cities. State College and Clemson are hamlets with universities in them. I would think good college football cities would be thriving cities packed with college football fans, like Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Austin and Nashville.

Madison is the best football town bar none. In terms of fans, food and atmosphere.
Penn State is the most rabid. (insert penn state lazy joke to be a cool poster for a day) - but people camp out for tickets...for weeks.
And their gameday experience is phenomenal - like a fricking rock concert.
They blow everyone away. Everyone. I don't think anyone is close to Penn State - their white outs are 10X better than any other stadium in the Nation, they're unreal.
You think your fans care or you got noise...all that pride bunched up... so good...shite. I've seen a lot of games and most are just sitting on their fricking hands (won't name major culprits that think they're rockstars but haven't been good for years.)
PSU puts on a fricking concert and there's no getting around it or denying it. It's football plus Bon Jovi.
PSU has ONE of the best football experiences in the country on gameday...becomes the 3rd largest city in PA on gameday...110,000 people and those are just the people who have tickets.
Madison is the best CFB football city in America.

Madison is my go to city for this coming year. Also think Lincoln was underrated

That was a tweet by NBC Sports about the results from a website called Wallethub, and the methodology for the survey is not what you'd expect. Check out the link; they did pro football cities too. The college ranks have nothing to do with the cities themselves except for having a huge stadium capacity in a small city.
Miami of all places is #7 because there are 3 FBS schools in the area, the tickets are affordable, and UM's championships.

I don't live in Columbia, but this is such a conjured up, bullshite response that is best left on Tigernet. Columbia proper has experienced over 10% growth every decade since 1990 and its metro area is exploding. Not something you'd see in an urban war zone. Every city in America over 100,000 has good areas and bad areas, which further proves my original point.

What kind of stupid list is that
Posted on 2/16/19 at 6:23 am to lsutiger2011
No Atlanta?
List is invalid

I agree with the Athens, GA. That is the best college town I have ever been to (most of the SEC and half the ACC schools).

If Columbia is an Urban War Zone, what is New Orleans? Or Baton Rouge?
(Let me clarify though I do not think Columbia is the best CFB city)
