Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 1478503, member: 548"] Such a good point! Football is definitely religion in the south, and basketball is not even on the radar. One exception might be North Carolina. They are a college basketball state, but the rest of the south is ALL IN for football. I lived in NC for 12 years and no one talked about football, professional or college (Charlotte got its football franchise after I left). It was ACC basketball all the time. My director even bought a tv into work so we could all watch the ACC tournament. He didn't care that many of us somehow didn't have clients scheduled during the big game. I also went to Wisconsin and football was ginormous for the Big 10. I never once went to a Badger basketball game. Football is still king there, but bball is catching up in terms of interest. Why? Winning. [/QUOTE]
