Hi SoccerMom!

You've been cruising the old threads tonight. :)

I've never been to a Penn State game, but since I grew up in Pittsburgh it's natural for me to be a big fan, though I'm not sure who I'd root for if Penn State played Pitt.

I guess I would probably end up rooting for Joe Paterno no matter what team he was playing against.

LOL! Well, I was doing a search for recent college football posts and came up with this one. I'm actually a USC football fan. I think the North/South comparison should apply more to high school football than college football. I think college fans are just as loyal at any of the big time schools. High school is another phenomenon, though. I'm currently in the midwest, but as an AF brat I lived in the south and it does seem that football is a much bigger deal in the south for high schools. I just watched the new TV series, Friday Night Lights and I think they over-do it a bit. Somehow, I can't imagine women -- even Southern women -- discussing football strategy at a book club meeting!
