[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1325045, member: 590800"] According to the NYT fan map, Fulton's zip code says it's 32% Iowa, 16% Illinois. Sound about right? The NYT map is super interesting, but there are huge flaws. For example, I have been to Rockford, I have friends from Rockford and there is just no way that there are more Badgers fans than Illini fans, let alone over double. That's just not true. Additionally, many of the areas in the Chicago area where Illinois is tied with Notre Dame are shaded gray instead of orange, and I bet even the hiring of Lovie Smith pushes us barely over them in several areas (I remember reading an article that the Mets picked up a ton of zip codes on the MLB map from being in the World Series, so this stuff is fluid). Like I said, cool idea, but there are not more Badgers fans in Minneapolis than Gophers fans, as the map suggests; that's literally impossible. [/QUOTE]
