JOSH CROCKETT'S COMMENTS SECTION IS REFUSING TO ADMIT MY POST: So here's what I wanted to say in response to this post:

I've said this before but it bears repeating: college football is low low low on the Northeast sports totem pole. Nobody seems to mention this when talking about how the Northeast is the last part of the country without a dominant football conference, and it's contribution to the Bad Idea that is Big East college football. People just have too much invested in the pro teams around here--they take the place of people filling up football stadiums in less populated parts of the country. Why the Big East thought their survival depended on anything more than marginal college football I have no idea.

It's just college basketball first around here. I mean--the NIT? MSG? Every year?
