link- NY Times


A couple of years old, so we may have seen it.  I hadn't.

Poor Indiana.

I love it! At first, I thought they excluded North Dakota State, but on second glance, it looks like that light shade may be them, which is impressive - nearly as impressive as Fresno.

I guess that's the Aztecs by the Mexican border? Which really goes to show just how embarrassing this must be for UCLA.

Basketball would be great to see - with Indiana actually going into swing along with UCLA and maybe Duke with a national presence. I've also read a lot of Cornhuskers turn into Blue Jays for the basketball season.

Freedom map. I am generally pleased with the results of this map and the people I live around.

Unfortunately they did leave out NDSU. This map is only Div. I FBS schools. I have no doubt that in reality NDSU dominates North Dakota. Funny enough, Texas is the top FBS team in that eastern half of the state.

That's what I thought, but who the heck is the brown in North Dakota?

The map of downtown SF is really interesting. It's a war of single-point margins between Cal and Stanford (as it should be of course Wink).

If you go to the NYT site you can actually see the top three by zipcode. That blob in ND is actually Texas.

The only real surprise for me is North Carolina being such an ironclad Tar Heel state. Wake Forest and Duke aren't even close to first place in their home zipcodes! The Northeast getting infected with Florida fandom by snowbirds is pretty funny.

UCLA's always been the number 2 school in SoCal for football...USC's a blue blood, obviously they're going to dominate the region. I'm actually pretty surprised that they're not leading in more of SoCal then they already are. With basketball, I'd guess you'd see a pretty similar map, just with USC and UCLA reversed and SDSU being a little bigger, considering their basketball program is actually pretty good.

Unfortunate that Michigan registers as #1 in parts of Chicago, but not nearly as embarrassing as the Twin Cities, home to U of Minnesota, being essentially completely owned by the Wisconsin Badgers.

Looks like Michigan owns most of Manhattan Island as well.

The outright lead in lower Manhattan is interesting - I believe the only 2 FBS football teams among the top 10 actual (i.e. excluding Austin who took the #10 slot via a monopoly on in-state banking) Wall Street feeders are Michigan and BC, so the influence is understandable...and Manhattan isn't going to support a failing team from Boston. Obviously, not all fans went to Michigan, but the influence + low # of college football fans down there definitely helps. Surprised Notre Dame doesn't do better still.

Always impressed by Wisconsin's spread into Illinois, Michigan, and especially Minnesota. Suck it Golden Rodents.

I love this map, and I've created several close-up/full-color versions on my computer using paint.  However, it obviously has some glaring errors.  It is based on Facebook likes, so teams that are winning are going to be over-represented.  I mean, Illinois probably literally flipped a few zip codes in Chicagoland just since the Lovie Smith hire, and they're likely to flip more (whereas Notre Dame fans have usually had a good football program, to the point that they'd take the time to like the Facebook account).

I mean, I can tell you for a fact that Illinois fans outnumber Wisconsin fans in Rockford, and I can tell you for an ABSOLUTE fact that Minnesota fans outnumber Wisconsin fans in MINNEAPOLIS (I mean the student population alone makes that the case, for Christ's sake).  Wisconsin is "ahead" in those areas because the "home teams" have been absolutely lousy (leading to fan apathy) lately, and UW is likely the second most popular team in both cities.
