It’s not to say other fanbases are bad and some obviously are comparable, but Ohio is one of about 4-5 states who lives and breathes it starting in high school. It’s just different here. Places like Texas and PA, maybe parts of Florida are about the only states who can understand what it’s about. Probably not. Forced 4 TO and got 0 points off of them. Probably a home beat down incoming. Ohio, Texas, PA, and Florida aren’t even the top 2 most football-obsessed states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a study that showed where states rank regarding how often football is a topic of conversation. None of those states were in the top two.

iknowcool Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 There is no OL in the NFL worse and I would put my life on that. A bunch of garbage no-names. Moton is literally the only one from this group who would start for another NFL team, and even he has regressed mightily this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked solid when on the field, especially the last two weeks - I think he's outplayed Donte and been our 2nd best corner after Gilmore. He was inactive for a game or two because of health, but other than that he's done his job on defense. Solid tackler it seems too, made a really good play vs WR screen in the Miami game yesterday. I think he's going to develop into a dependable, consistent #2 when Horn is back next year (big fan of Horn - I think he's going to be a stud man corner and he looked the part before he got hurt). My biggest concern with him, which probably isn't a surprise to Jaguars fan, is health. Maybe his character will become a problem at some point, but haven't heard anything (good or bad) on that front. But the health concerns me. But if he stays healthy, I think at the very least we have a solid #2 when Jackson leaves for greener pastures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those states were in the top two. Source? They make movies and TV shows about Texas HS football. HS stadiums in the state rival some NFL teams. HS coaches make upwards of six figures in certain cities. The term "Friday Night Lights" is coined after Texas HS football, when entire cities shut down to watch HS games. Hell, there were reality TV shows following Texas PEE WEE football teams. The University of Texas has one of the biggest football budgets in the NCAA, as does Texas A&M. The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world - worth more than the Yankees, Lakers, AC Milan, Manchester United, by a pretty big amount. Football is a religion over here. Any "study" that has Texas anything other than #1 (not top 10, not top 5, not top 3 - number 1) is flawed. @Matts4313 - tell 'em how we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attempted to find the study but failed; I’d be grateful if anyone could search for it as well. Study again was on what conversations in each state were on (and from that people made a study map specifically on football). I didn’t want to mention where states ranked because again I can’t find the study, but I remember Alabama and Nebraska were clear cut 1 and 2 in whatever order (the latter of which had football as the most common talking subject, even above weather). And no, this wasn’t CFB specific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did a great job all day making quick decisions and accurate throws. And Waddle is legit. Thought the play-calling was good too, did a great job taking advantage of a fast and aggressive defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is also huge in Alabama, and there's a lot less going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, majority of what I spoke about - Friday Night Lights the movie, Friday Night Lights the TV show, Friday Night Tykes the reality TV show, the Dallas Cowboys - are nationally televised items. Specific to the Cowboys, I referenced international brands, and two brands in the biggest cities in the US, New York and Los Angeles. Regardless of where I am, I can see these things associated with Texas and football. What other state can claim that? 22 minutes ago, Duluther said: I didn’t want to mention where states ranked because again I can’t find the study, but I remember Alabama and Nebraska were clear cut 1 and 2 in whatever order (the latter of which had football as the most common talking subject, even above weather). And no, this wasn’t CFB specific. Again - I would need to see the source and the data used to validate such an assumption. Is this based on something as fickle as Twitter hashtags by geolocation? Responses to online surveys? How the data is gathered is important in understanding the results of said data. As the old adage goes - garbage in, garbage out.
