Arrrrrgh! All we have is Rutgers to look forward to. Seriously though, except for Penn State, Syracuse and BC, there really is no big time college football in the NE which is the reason why the NFL is so big up here.

I was pretty amazed a few years ago when I went to Biloxi, Miss while on vacation and went to a sports bar in a casino to catch the Yankee-Boston playoff series. They had about 8 huge TVs in the bar, all with college football and one little one in the corner with the baseball game on it that no one except me and a couple guys from Boston were watching. Everybody else was hootin' and hollerin' over Auburn and Alabama, etc.
