Which fanbase is the most knowledgeable of CBB?

[della]

I suppose this is a Blueblood question, but some of those B1G fans seem pretty knowledgeable too. Which fanbase is it?

I imagine it would be from one of the schools that stresses academics?

That would be a fun game if we could work it out.

What are your thoughts?

The thread should be titled "Which Fan Base is the Second Most Knowledgeable of CBB"?

OP you still have time to correct your error. You have three minutes.

I have a few UNC fans IRL and they would be a formidable opponent.

I am very close to one ACC fan and I know you have to have all your bases covered if you're going to argue with him.

Purdue has a lot of nerds that are great with analytics. But we also have our share of emotional midgets.

I love reading the B1G thread. I have become a fan, y'all are funny and not in a dumb way.

We've got a few I wish would go away but most Purdue fans who post in the B1G thread don't get too serious about this shit. It's just a game.

But you said "fan base" as multiple.

Either way I'd wager the most knowledgeable individual college basketball fan in America is also a Kentucky fan. His name is Jon Scott. Oscar Combs is probably as knowledgeable as any individual as well.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Probably Ivy League grads.

@ExitFlagger

Go ahead and tell them.

I don't know these people, so I really can't comment on that.

 

[fleckabelly]

Probably Princeton

 

[Necessary Roughness]

Not I. I love the game but my knowledge only goes back to around 98. And has some gaps due to my team being the total Suck at times.

Go ahead and tell them.

Hmmm…good question. Definitely can’t be Iowa. This much I know. You dudes are so bad, the team you bandwagon immediately goes to shit and loses to a school no one’s ever heard of. 😆

I told you. Let's not have to go through this again

On here, or overall? On here we have a lot of folks who know the game very well...If we are talking X and O's---I dunno. I enjoy quite a few posters takes in this area....History of the game? Again, quite a few. TBH this board is really knowledgeable....There are a few that are just dumb as ****---but no reasonto point them out---They know.

Edit: Overall,though? In my experience of officiating, meeting fans, etc....Now keep in my mind, I have never worked a major P5 game....So keep that in my mind with my answer...

Its Purdue.

















JK. Although they are "farleigh" close.

 

[rockycard]

Kentucky fans definitely aren’t close to being the most knowledgeable, I’ve been told by several of them that they couldn’t name any players on their biggest rivals roster other than Ellis.

 

[rockycard]

…..but in their defense, they apparently know everything about officiating.

You got to like the Purdue fans.

A schools success does not translate to knowledgable fanbase.

The question is kinda silly.

There are smart posters, not fanbases.

How is the question silly? Take Duke and UNC, they are pretty selective schools, so the people that get in and graduate are usually pretty smart. I imagine that if you're a Duke or UNC grad, you probably support the school you graduated from.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Kentucky fans are definitely the most knowledgeable about John Higgins. If you ever need his address, wife’s name, ex-wife’s name, blood type, license plate number, that sort of thing…you know who to ask.

I thought you were talking basketball.

Carry on.

Again, silly premise then. Most smart people I know don't even like sports.

Hawkit, I have to question how many smart people you even know other than me.

Hawkit, quit setting me up with these zingers. It's not like I'm trying to get you, but you keep lobbing them up there.

Della, aren’t you the one on a crusade against arrogance? What do you think of people who are arrogant and hypocritical? 😎

I'm not on a crusade about anything. I just told Hawkit to stop setting me up and that I wasn't out to get him.

Well, you do mention often that you don’t like arrogance, no?

If you must know, I was kinda came in on your behalf cause I thought Hawkit was kinda ruffing you up too much.

I appreciate the thought, but you might need to update the prescription for your eyeglasses. Wee man is tattered and broken. In fact, you might want to take it easy on him. He’s at best one more heartbreak away from going postal.
