Now Hiring: Florida State

[Saint John]

In Texas, High School football trumps NBA Mavericks, NHL Stars and Ranger Baseball. It's a fucking fever pitch sport in Texas.

I'm with Dean on this one. It's not even debatable. You do realize that "Friday Night Lights" is all about high school football in Texas, right? There isn't a state on the planet who is half as nuts as Texas is when it comes to high school football. It's almost bizarre that they can turn out 25K people for a high school football game, when many high schools in other parts of the country have a problem drawing 500 people. Florida is a VERY strong state when it comes to college football in terms of the support their teams get, but a big part of it is that it's one of the absolute worst states in the union when it comes to pro sports. The teams all suck and so do the fans.

not sure how much the teams suck....lets digress:
Miami Heat-NBA Championship
Florida Marlins-2 World Series Titles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers-1 Super Bowl Title
Tampa Bay Rays-1 World Series appearance( 1 American League Champioship)
Miami Dolphins-Multiple Super BOwls and still the only perfect record in NFL history.
Orlando Magic-2 NBA Championship appearances(2 Eastern Conference Championships)
May wanna rethink that theory.

You forgot the 2003-2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

Let me clarify...they suck in terms of their lack of history. I've been out of high school longer than the Marlins, Devil Dogs, Lightning, and Magic have even existed! As for the Dolphins...you're not allowed to brag about a championship that happened so long ago that I was two when they won it, and I'm just about 40! I have ZERO respect for southern sports fans. They're about the same as Los Angeles sports fans. They're great college football fans but beyond clueless when it comes to the pro game. I will make an exception for Dolphins fans because they're one of the few Florida teams who has been around for longer than 20 minutes.

You contradicted yourself there but I guess you "kind of" fixed it at the end. First you said they suck do to lack of history, then you said the Dolphins shouldnt brag about something that happened so long ago??? Isnt that history????
