SEC television-radio voice Paul Finebaum made it clear that he’s “sick and tired” of Big Ten football fans during a recent appearance on the Netflix Sports Club Podcast.
Finebaum, the ESPN personality and host of SEC Network’s The Paul Finebaum Show, told Netflix Sports Club host Dani Klupenger that he’s “so sick and tired of being harassed by Big Ten fans” and added that Big Ten fans “act like they invented football.”
“If it’s not I’m leaving the country. I am so sick and tired of being harassed by Big Ten fans on our show. … They act like they invented football.” @finebaum has had enough of Big Ten fans, and predicts that an SEC team will win the National Championship 😂 @daniklup pic.twitter.com/LNXFwU7IL3

Klupenger asked Finebaum, “Who’s going to win the national championship, and is it going to be an SEC team?”
“It is,” Finebaum began. “And by the way, if it’s not, I’m leaving the country because I am so sick and tired of being harassed by Big Ten fans on our show.”
“The Big Ten has literally done nothing,” Finebaum continued. “They’ve won two national championships. Michigan won one two years ago. They’ve won one and a half national championships, I think, and before that, in 70 years. And they act like they invented football.
“Alabama has won about 15 national championships in my lifetime. Now, I realize that’s not a good comparison to a realistic lifespan. But, I believe Texas is going to win; I didn’t mean to avoid your question. It’s going to end all this. And on January 20, I’ll be the happiest man in America because I won’t have to listen to the Big Tenners, or as my callers call them, the Little Tenners.”
