Sports fans, in large part, are motivated by the "I was watching" factor. "I was watching when the Sox came back." "I was watching when Messier delivered on his guarantee." "I saw Norwood go wide right." So on and so forth.
Penn State vs. Texas A&M will probably be a good pure football contest, but its potential for a memorable game - regardless of regional interest - is far less than that of Giants-Pats. Penn State and A&M fans will carry the memory of that game after it's over, but due to the smaller stage they're playing on, it's unlikely many others will.
