Interesting and entertaining. We need to get Bucky the buck out of the northeastern part of the state.

I hope the Iowa part is accurate, but I'm not really buying that swath of Oregon fans in upstate NY, the Texas Tech domination of Texas, Stanford's ownership of wyoming, etc. etc. Must be small sample sizes.

 

[GHerky]

not buying it... folks live up that way and most people i know hate whisky... iowa strong... now the western part of the state being buggeaters i cant speak for them...

We needed proof?

 

[Packer54]

Oregon pretty impressive. I actually am buying it as it is probably a smaller sample but I think in their case it is the output of being great marketers along with a fast pace tempo tha many like to see.

Also, should be limited to FBS.

A lot of Stanford alum move to South Dakota? lol

"The map was compiled with 3,462 responses to a demographic survey that delivered responses in 787 unique counties."

So, an average of ~4.4 votes per county. That is a super small sample size. I'm sure a large number of the "weird" winners were a single vote.

You notice the Hawkeye county in far north Michigan?

Yup. You have to trust any map that shows Texas Tech as by far the most popular team in Texas.

I wouldn't call them by that map the most popular team in Texas. They covered west Texas well, but nobody lives in west Texas.

There are more than 3,000 counties in the US. That means they didn't get a single vote in more than 2200 of the 3k+. Not exactly high science here.

OK, maybe I should be apologizing...I just thought it was an entertaining little piece of fun.

Yeah, I noticed that. And considering there are over 3,100 counties in the US...

Yep, as well as the Texas panhandle and the northwest corner of North Carolina.

I probably know the three people there in NC that put the Hawks on the map.

I grew up in NE Iowa and never once saw anything wisconsin. With Hesse and Jewell from NE Iowa I just don't see it being badger land

I found it very interesting and entertaining. Didn't mean to be critical of you in any way.
