If you had to compare fan bases in the B1G and BigXII. Who would be similar to who?

If you had to compare the B1G fan-bases to the Big XII fan-bases, who would be similar to who?

[Decked]

Iowa and Colorado.

[Army_Allen]

Prolly Texa$$ and Michigan

Oklahoma and OSU

Colorado and Iowa

TTech and Mich State

Baylor and Northwestern

Okie State and Illinois

Can't really say I know about too many others.

Aggies and Wiscy if A&M were still there.

[sd'sker]

tosu=ou

mich=texas

wiscy=aTm

iowa=cu

nw=baylor

minny=isu

msu=osu

indiana=ku

psu=mizzou

ill=tcu

purdue=wvu

 

this was done without much thought and judging the programs more than just fan bases. just my quick perception. some of the lower tiered teams were hard to gauge.

[Saunders]

Wisconsin = Mizzou & Colorado

[funhusker]

Nebraska = Oklahoma (football tradition)

Ohio State/Michigan = Texas (dolla dolla bills ya'll)

MSU = Oklhamo State (both suffer from little brother complex)

Northwestern = Baylor (smart people)

Indiana = Iowa State (modest midwesterners)

Iowa = Kansas State (arrogant midwesterners)

Purdue = TCU (not sure...)

Illinois = Kansas (enjoy football, but basketball is more important)

Wisconsin = West Virginia (relatively new to success, not afraid to let everyone know)

Minnesota = Texas Tech (both just kinda seem lost, get a glimmer of hope, then get lost again)

 

I have no idea where to put Penn State now. Pre-Sandusky, I would have seriously thought about putting them with Nebraksa and Oklahoma , but now...

Sparty really should start throwing tortillas at people.

 

I would enjoy that

From our time in the Big XII:

 

Nebraska = Ohio State

Oklahoma State = Michigan State

Kansas = Indiana

Kansas State = Northwestern

Missouri = Illinois

Oklahoma = Michigan

Texas = Penn State

Colorado = Iowa (I think this is universal)

Baylor = Minnesota

Iowa State = Purdue (not a great analogy but I'm running out of options)

Texas Tech = Wisconsin

Texas A&M = Ran out of teams

Texas Tech = Wisconsin

Shouldn't Nebraska=Nebraska? Then you would have equal number teams.

[NUpolo8]

Wisconsin = Mizzou & Colorado

Nah. I think Nebraska and the Buckeyes are really, really similar. Met a bunch of their fans, I hang out on one of their message boards, and we're pretty compatible.

 

I also like most of my other analogies.

I was serious. Drunk idiots, and assaulting old people.

Yeah but wouldn't Nebraska be even more similar to Nebraska?

 

But I get what you are saying and do see the similarities between most of the others. Mostly just trying to give you a hard time.

[NUance]

From strongest to weakest correlation:

 

Kansas = Indiana (fans biding the time for basketball season)

Missouri = Illinois (exact same fans, different school colors--I live amongst them)

Colorado = Iowa (jackasses = jackasses)

Texas = Michigan (smug dickwads with vastly overinflated opinion of team)

Oklahoma = Ohio State (smug dickwads with slightly better team than above)

Texas A&M = Penn State (unreasonably overzealous douchebag fan base disconnected with reality)

Baylor = Northwestern (nerds)

Iowa State = Purdue (nerds with engineering degrees)

Oklahoma State = Wisconsin (small amount of success and they think they rule the world)

Texas Tech = Michigan State (worship a coach savior of the program (except TT already crucified their savior))

Kansas State = Minnesota (90 years of crappy football + 5 years of success--at different times)

Nebraska fans = no peers. (Only one group of fans can be the best fans in the world.)

 

 

 

/ Okay, before anyone jumps all over me, that last sentence about NU was a joke making fun of our own oversized ego as a fanbase.
