CFB Map of the US

[montinelevin]

I dunno if this has been posted here before, but I found this in a post over on another board...and it shows how few teams are on the west half of the US compared to the east.




I was shocked to see how many D1 teams are in Ohio and North Carolina.

[L45B]

That's pretty cool. Never realized that Ohio has more D-1 teams than California & Florida.

[the_ouskull]

Yep. They're number one. But, I have to ask... are you counting Duke as a D1 football school?

[Van]

I want a full sized poster of that map to hang above all my guitar gear in my living room.

That thing is just beautiful.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I think I'll make it a life goal to visit every one of those stadiums, and then cross them off when I'm done.

Michigan State
Michigan
Eastern Michigan
Western Michigan

Damn. Only four down.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Yep. They're number one.

Close. Texas has the most.

[Dinsdale]

So, from that map we can conclude that as a general rule, the areas with the highest populations have the most major universities?

That's crazy.

I may have a new life goal.

Two down, about 80 buhzillion to go.

The only region to buck that trend would be the Coos Bay/Bandon metropolis.

[Dinsdale]

The University of Coos Bay/North Bend has won the D1A Meth Cooking Championship for twelve straight years. Although The University of Estdacada gives them a run for their money.

I wonder if with everyone here if we could knock off the majority of those.

We'd kick both of their asses,

Sin,

Vo-Tech.

Kansas

That's a pretty freaking impressive list, right there.

I'm jealous. And I'm betting that before this thread is over, somebody might even best you...which will be a tough order.

[Shoalzie]

Michigan State
Michigan
Eastern Michigan
Western Michigan

Just those three for me...been to three or four Western games, two Michigan games and one State game.

[BlindRef]

Michigan
Michigan State
Notre Dame

Motor City Bowl


Non D-1

Albion
Alma
Mt. Union
Lehigh

[Jimmy Medalions]

USC
Notre Dame
UCLA
Kal
Stanford
Illinois
Washington
Texas
Fresno State

[Dinsdale]

Non D-1

Mt. Union

*I'll bet that was pretty sweet, as far as super-small-school football goes.

Oh, and btw -- fuck Mt Union. Go Linfield....[gratuitous reset]The winningest college football program in history[/gratutious reset]


My less-than-stellar attendence resume includes Autzen and Parker/Reser...since somebody up in here is bound to database this stuff...but I'll bet Jay has those two covered.

And years back, I know I've attended some D3 games and whatnot...but can't for the life of me remember where...I'm guessing they were all in Oregon, though.



Coincedentally, I just saw some D3 stats...Mt Union is outscoring their opponents by an average score of 61.5 to 6.2 so far this season. Sounds like they might repeat...by of course winning the D3 playoffs.

[GrizBearStare]

Nebraska
Minnesota
Kansas
Kansas State

[FLW Buckeye]

Add Southern Mississippi to those not yet mentioned.

D1A schools that I've seen play:

Air Force, Notre Dame, and Army- in Colorado Springs at the AF Academy
Mizzou, IU, Perdue, MSU- in C-bus
Southern Miss and Tulane while stationed in Gulfport, MS
aTm losing to the Bucks in the Sugar Bowl

[indyfrisco]

that map has east coast bias

[L45B]

FLW, I think everyone is listing what stadiums they have been to for an actual game (right?).

Mine:

Ohio State
Michigan
Wisconsin
Texas
Arizona State (for a Fiesta Bowl as well)
Kentucky
Northern Illinois
Outback Bowl - Tampa

As far as getting all of these covered, I'm pretty sure JON's been to Indiana.

[Vito Corleone]

Stadiums I've been to

Texas
Baylor
a$m
Houston (in Astrodome)
Rice
TCU
SMU
BYU
Clemson
Minnesota (Metrodome)
Cotton bowl
UNT (not for football)

I know some people at both U of U and Utah State so I plan on taking in games in both locations.

[Goober McTuber]

can't add anything new

Hi there, melty-man. This is probably a good place for you to hide out for a while.

[Dinsdale]

I guess I must just be easily impressed then.

Oregon State (a fun place to tailgate)

My resume is obviously nowhere near as impressive as most any here, but Corvallis is kind of a hoot, not for the quality of stadium(it blows ass, although I haven't been since the upgrade last year), but it's notable for the absolutely deplorable behavior from the fans, mostly the students.

It's gotten even worse as of late, and even the university higher-ups, and even the top boosters are talking about doing something about it. These morons spit on opposing players(and even their own players, on an occasion), and will throw any heavy object they can find. I heard a firsthand account of Beaverstudents assaulting a ~90 year old Ducksfan after a Civil War game...wtf?

The alcohol ban isn't enforced at t(he)o(ther)OSU. Sure, you can't buy beer at the stadium, but they let the students smuggle anything they want inside. I mean sure, I love a rowdy crowd, but they're not "rowdy," they're disrespectful idiots. And the violence is really really lame. Such a stark contrast to their neighbors to the south.


But, pregame, Corvallis is a serious party. Just don't wear the opponents gear, and you'll be fine. And whtever you do, make sure you're not wearing anything green and gold anywhere near the city on gameday.

Sounds a lot like Morgantown. When those inbreeds get worked up, there isn't a opposing fan or non-flame resistant couch that is safe.
