As Spencer Hall of SBNation.com laid bare a few days back: College football is the best sport. This really isn't up for discussion, but if you need another reason, here's former NFLer Channing Crowder — who was born in State College — on a recruiting trip to Penn State.
From Josh Baumgard of Miami.CBSLocal.com:
Crowder spoke of his visit to Penn State as a recruit, which was “the worst.”
“They sit me in a room with two bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 Banana Red,” Crowder said. “They say ‘drink these, we’re gonna go out.’ Okay, I get all feeling good. We walk out of the door, go down two doors and go back into an apartment and it’s four big white girls sitting there and me. Big ole white girls. Talkin’ about 250.”
And now we know — at least in part — how hypothetical jersey salesman Channing Crowder came to commit to Florida in 2002.
