In addition to it being ‘back-to-school time,’ it’s also time for college football! Personally, I can’t wait to get back “between the hedges” in Sanford Stadium to watch my alma mater, the University of Georgia Bulldogs, play. The season is just two weeks away now and we’re extremely excited about a fun competition that Sports Illustrated’s Senior Writer, Stewart Mandel, started yesterday.
In the latest edition of Stewart’s popular College Football Mailbag column, he challenged his readers to show which conference has the best fans based upon their donations to DonorsChoose.org. Stewart Mandel’s Conference Showdown will run for the next six weeks to determine which conference’s fans are the most passionate and the most charitable.
Will the ever rabid fans of the SEC win the showdown title as their teams have done on the field the last two years? Or will loyalists of the Big Ten demonstrate that this is their year? Are the Pac-10 faithful tired of being overlooked? The Showdown is an opportunity to make a statement for a good cause.
So I hope you’ll join with me at DonorsChoose.org/SI Showdown and instead of just telling everyone that your conference is the best, actually put your money where your mouth is.
Go SEC!
