    Can you imagine living in North and South Dakota? Yikes.

    Terrible use of color legend on that map, btw.

      I'm pretty sure no one lives in the light gray areas.

              Lot of shade being thrown at the 208 lately.

              • Did they not survey two thirds of the counties in the country? Look at where Lincoln, Nebraska is on a map and see how that's shaded on this map of the survey results-- light gray.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  There's a simple explanation to Lincoln, Nebraska (Lancaster County) being shaded light gray: The map only depicts the 2015 season and after numerous losses in the closing moments (starting with Mangum's Hail Mary) all the TV sets in Lincoln were shattered or otherwise rendered inoperable.

                        The massive flood of people going to the west coast in a relatively short period of time was fascinating to watch.

                        • MAPPING EVERY COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER’S HOMETOWN

                          [...]
                          Compiling data on all 13,738 players set to be on the upcoming 2016 FBS rosters, we mapped out each player’s hometown and compiled them into a single interactive map below.
                          http://rukkus.com/blog/college-footb...yer-hometowns/

                          Texas produces 13.44% of the college football talent... more than any other state.

                          Besides Hawaii, Stanford's (really the Pac-X's, in general) recruits travel the furthest to play football. Lack of local talent?

                            Probably more a function of having greater appeal nationally than most other schools, although this year's number one recruit is a local kid. Given the amount of money Texans spends on high school football, it certainly should be producing more college-bound players.

                              The University of Idaho Vandals must have a lot of national appeal as well. Their players travel on the average of 873.6 miles to play in Moscow. That's more that players that go to Arizona, Utah, ASU, USC, Cal, UW, and even the great ND.

                              • Frakkin' pansy SEC teams. 337 miles on average. PAC-12 teams do that in their sleep.
