[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 817429, member: 2426"] It is very easy to do that in Atlanta. ESPN hypes the SEC somewhat. Local Atlanta media believe that SEC football is more important than faith or family. The GT "flagship" station doesn't even hype the fact that they are they GT "flagship" station. They hype that they are the official talk radio station of the cesspool. Some years ago if you listened to the GT "flagship" station during their normal shows, they always treated the SEC as on par with the NFL. (I don't listen to 680 any more, so I don't know what shows they have on today.) As a stereotype, the typical fan in Georgia will think that the SEC IS football. They think the Big10 are a bunch of morons, the Big12 doesn't understand football because they can't play defense, and the Pac12 is irrelevant because they are wimpy left-coast liberals. (not trying to start a political debate, just echoing what I have heard SEC homers actually say.) When I have traveled for business to other parts of the country, I didn't hear anything about the SEC from local sports fans or local sports media. They were more concerned about the local college team, or more likely the closest NFL team. [/QUOTE]
