Rice

Baylor

Furman

Stephen F Austin

Without ever having heard of Stephen F. Austin State University, you probably should be able to guess which state that one's in.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Not sure what adult sports fan isn't aware of Baylor's location.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

I thought Furman was in GA, but this thread has enlightened me. The others, I knew.

This question is really dumb for a football message board - any college football fan knows at least two if not all of those colleges and where they are located.

Have you ever been out of Ohio?

Dude, as an Ohio State fan myself, this is incredibly lame. Change your avatar and don't associate yourself with Columbus anymore. TIA

Well, Rice's calling card isn't athletics. Baylor is the really curious one though. Recently they've had alot of recent success in both football and basketball. They also had the only recent women's basketball star of any note.

Women's basketball is irrelevant.

I could figure Baylor is in Texas. But beyond that...no clue. A couple years of fb relevance hasn't brought general awareness outside of the south. It will return to anonymity soon.

This is a really weird way to be arrogant. Pretty sure you're making Bucky Nation look like a bunch of rubes here, chief.

They mostly are.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Citadel is a military academy, which like Furman, is located in South Carolina.

Stetson is in Florida and they have one of the greatest mascots in sports.

 

[The Big Guy]

I could have asked the same question, but I am from NYC and did not grow up watching or caring about college football. Honestly I still don't care about college sports in general. I hate watching college games because there is always so much imbalance and the one potential pro plays head and shoulders above the rest of the people. It is like watching men play boys and I see no reason to care about any of it.

Should I know? To me - flash in the pan teams.

And with that said - it's not even that they're new to football success. It's more that there's little awareness outside of their home locations.

[mr roboto]

Don't know why everyone's piling on. Some people don't pay attention to CFB or know anything outside of the big power conferences. Why the offense? I didn't know where Rice was until I travelked there for work 6 months ago.

There are thousands of examples of why what you've written is completely false, but I'll offer Aaron Rodgers.

0 Division

1 football scholarships out of high school

1 Community College attended

2 two bowl games

17 division 1 wins

26 consecutive completed passes vs #1 ranked USC, a game they lost

Your argument might work for basketball, but I'd like you to tell me how that differs from pro basketball. Over the past 30 years in the NBA we've had all of one team (the 2004 Pistons) that didn't have a super star player.

Furman is the private University in Greenville, SC... my home town. NCAA Division I AA in football IIRC. They won the national championship for AA in the late 80s.

Go Paladins! FU one time, FU two times, FU all the time!

Little awareness of Baylor and Rice outside of their home locations? When I opened the thread I thought the schools were going to be more obscure than those two.

March Madness is when "locate that school" gets fun.

 

[Jayrok]

Rice and Baylor should be well known by now. Furman and Stone Cold U maybe not so much.

 

[Fariq]

Former Packers receiver Perry Kemp went to California. Current Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers also attended a college named California. Kemp and Rodgers did not attend the same college.

And all of that means jack nothing to me. Still not seeing why I should care about college sports and how I think that games are so uneven that they are not worth watching.

My grandmother sold Avon in the 80s and gave it out for Christmas presents. I remember my father having a bottle of this is the medicine cabinet until it began collecting dust.
