First, I graduated from Indiana University and have been a huge Big Ten fan for years. So, you're not correct in that regard.
 
Second, I watch SEC teams during the post season - it's hard to avoid them. So I think you misunderstood my comments in that regard. What I have indicated is that during the regular season I do not watch the CBS SEC games - I just don't find them all that interesting.
 
Third, as I have observed before, I find it very interesting how this board establishes a conventional wisdom on a particular issue. And I get a kick out of how so many get upset when a poster has the utter temerity to disagree with the conventional wisdome - whether it is Pasqualoni, Hackett, the Big East, Penn State or Rutgers.
 
I remember when I observed a few months ago that Rutgers has a very good football program. And somebody here accused me of essentially abandoning my status as an SU Football fan - the idea I guess being that in order to qualify as a fan, I had to declare Rutgers to be a horrible program.
 
And, I get the same kind of sensation with the BE issue. It really bothers posters on this board - including you apparently - that I have the gall to confront the conventional wisdom.
 
Well, I have been watching college football for over forty years. I have been a season ticket holder for three professional football teams over the years. I have become friendly with a number of football professionals. I have purchased coaching videos and have tried my best to learn the inner workings of the game.
 
So, I feel pretty confident in making my assessment.
 
And if that bothers you, so be it.
