No kidding. That Joe Mauer was one smart fella. He would've ended up like Drew Henson if he had actually gone to FSU.

Yeah. And Ohio State.OCBucksFan;956772; said:Kind of like Miami, UCLA, Michigan or Notre Dame?

No, I wouldn't include UM, UCLA, or OSU in that group at all. UM and OSU tend to be hated equally around the country (except in East Lansing), which is to say they're on the same level as a Texas or an Oklahoma or a Florida: everyone likes to see them lose because everyone loves an upset and for the same teams not to be in the mix year after year.
Well, I can only go by what I see myself, but I've lived in both ACC country and Pac-10 country. And in the Navy, you talk to a lot of SEC fans and Big 12 fans (Big 12 especially, because friggin' everyone's from damn Texas.) Way I've seen it, most people tend to kind of lump Michigan and Ohio State in the same group. The Midwest gets a lot of no-respect like that. And maybe people are sick of UCLA in California, but I guarantee you outside of Cali, nobody really cares, because a) they're not football championships and b) Duke took over the basketball crown in everyone's mind. USC is the team nobody likes.OCBucksFan;956785; said:Living in Southern california for 20 years now, I am gonna disagree.
UCLA brags about having 100 NC's in all sports.
Now, I brought up Michigan, and I know you've added the Bucks, but what's your claim to fame? You have more wins in football than ANY OTHER program. I am not looking at the world through scarlet and grey glasses, I am just saying what the west coast sees. We're getting pretty hated, but the buckeyes are a program that people under-estimate, however, Michigan has the one claim to fame.
You may not think of it, but FSU, Miami, Michigan and UCLA are really hated programs. Not for what they have done but for what they throw in everyone elses face.

But FSU ends up on a higher level of hatred, because their fans are unpleasant and spoiled. (It's common knowledge that no second-tier bowl wants FSU because their fans are among the worst travelers in all the country. They'll go to a BCS bowl or they'll stay home.) And FSU isn't exactly known for turning out class citizens. Peter Warrick, anyone? Laveranues Coles? A.J. Nicholson. Sebastien Janikowski. Adrian McPherson. I could go on, but we all know this stuff. Nobody likes the Bowden arrogance (Bobby's bad enough....Tommy and Terry are insufferable), nobody likes the tomahawk chop and their band playing it EVERY SINGLE DOWN, nobody likes the air of scandal that always hangs around the program.

Florida St already lead D1A in penalties nearly every year, and you don't add Chuck Amato to your staff and have your penalties per game average go down.billmac91;956781; said:im an FSU grad....buckeye fan first...their lack of discipline continues to amaze me
I thought w/ the influx of new coaches, things would change, but it just hasn't happened
