I have a lot of close friends from so cal, including my girlfriend and my roommate of the last two years, and I've noticed that people from there feel no loyalty to home or sense of community, b/c no one in Cali gives a shit about anything.
The allure of playing in front of more than 100,000 fans who will adore you has to be very enticing--more than enough to overcome criteria like weather and girls with fake breasts--if they're serious about their football careers.
Texas, on the other hand, also has very adoring fans--and a great local scene, weather, and girls. Texas can't win their own conference though, and that hopefully will mean something to Bemoli and Sanchez. Tressel is a man of integrity who knows how to win games, and knows how to get you to the NFL. Despite the knocks on our passing offense, we ranked #3 in the Big Ten last year in passing yardage for conference games. It would be really cool if these guys are close enough to all commit to the Bucks. It's significance would not be lost on the Buckeye faithful.
