I live in Minnesota which is Big Ten country. Sports fans here are convinced this conference represents the very best in college sports entertainment. Unfortunately, folks here have a tendency to be a bit too narrow minded and they cannot be persuaded the SEC is truly # 1.
As one who has a very long background in amateur sports, grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and who has lived in the upper midwest, no one can ever persuade me that the SEC is surpassed by any other collegiate conference.
The SEC has the fastest and most adept athletes, the very best coaches, the greatest sports traditions, perhaps the most intensely loyal fans, and (best of all) it has the prettiest cheerleaders in all the Land!
Yes, the Big Ten is entertaining. Same for the Pac 10 and the Big 12 or whatever it is called nowadays. But no other conference approaches the SEC in terms of fun and entertainment value. I eagerly look forward to watching SEC football in the Autumn. It's going to be loads of fun!
