Would you want to show Wisconsin on TV?

ESPN obviously didn’t want to blind people by showing the image of Wisconsin.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, it's just that your's is stupid.

Given the rumors we sometimes hear about ESPN behind-the-scenes, maybe their interns aren’t exactly hired for their smarts?

It's all fly-over land, right?

Hey, nobody said Americans were known for their geographical prowess.

And the shape of MN kind of looks like WI. Oh wait, no it doesn’t.

Reminds me of:

http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/states

Where after over 7 million plays, Minnesota is the 2nd least recognized state in the union.

Come on, people!

Man

I don’t know how some of the people in the comments can be proud of themselves for getting like 40 of the 50. I forgot Arkansas and had to look it up and I feel really stupid right now.

Yeah, that's sad

Heck, I was ashamed that it took me 2 minutes and 8 seconds. I thought for sure that I’d be under 2 minutes. But I fat fingered too many times. I thought you were going to have to recognize them just by their shape. If so, I can see mixing up Colorado and Wyoming, out of context, I don’t know that I’d get which one was which.

I am very surprised that Minnesota is second-least recognized to Missouri. I definitely would have guessed others. Probably Massachusetts or Connecticut, since you have to spell right, those are tough to spell, I’ll give people that. Or maybe one of the small states like Delaware. It would be easy to miss that on that small map. More appropriately for this thread, Wisconsin is only 4 states above us. Apparently it’s ESPN staffers taking this quiz. On a brighter note, almost half did get every state right. And another quarter of the people got 90% or better. Still, almost 20% getting less than 40 states right is very, very, very sad.

ITS NOT?!?!!?!?!11!!11one!!!!

I’VE BEEN DECEIVED THIS WHOLE TIME????

10-0. Hell yeah.

Hmmmm...

Is ESPN trying to say that MN is getting invaded by WI or that ESPN analyst’s failed US Geography 101?

My wife is gorgeous, but when she wears her pink Rodgers Jersey, she makes you fall to your knees...
