adulation that Bronco gets.

Do you think it is because BB isn't as high profile as FB. That is the one I would choose.

Is it because Rose isn't as openly spiritual and doesn't do firesides.

I personally think in his sport, what Rose has done is as impressive as what Bronco has done.

Because basketball is the red-headed stepchild to football. It really is that simple.

Mostly BB vs FB. Partially the personality difference. Rose is not the type to draw attention to himself.

Rose gets a pair of Sweet Sixteen finishes, and I guarantee things would change.

Probably, however if Bronco gets to a BCS then there will be the difference again, just at a higher level.

Also Holmoe will get Dr. Chris Hill status of a few years ago.

I think is what it comes down to. Coach K., Roy Williams etc are huge because their football teams suck. Even at Florida, Urban is bigger than Billy Donovan. Football is king, except where their teams really suck.
