College Football/Football in general

Post by **tupelope** » 19 Nov 2011, 10:55

So anyone besides me (or wham) watch college football?

Also OSU just totally choked against Iowa. Huge upset.

Yes! My team is the University of Tennessee Volunteers. We've struggled of late, but I think we're headed in the right direction. Game day traffic's a bit of a headache, but it's worth it when we win. Now if only we could keep our quarterback healthy.

Good luck with that.

Proud to see OU against Texas. I was hoping for Baylor to upset TCU and they did. Woot.

I don't keep up with the NFL, but I have been a long time fan of Tom Brady.

ESPN actually shows a fair amount of college football here, but I really think that you have to be American to 'get it'. While I understand its significance (and the reasons for that), it'd essentially be treated as a kiddie league and get no ratings everywhere else in the world.

NFL, on the other hand, is good fun to watch.

College football is better than NFL imo

Oklahoma Sooners fan right here
and my NFL team is The KC chiefs
I think the Ncaa is a more up tempo high scoring league, but most of the best players only play two years before being drafted into the NFL so in the NFL you get to keep your star players much longer.

Every game in the NCAA has some sort of high stakes to it. A perfect season was required to make it to the national championship.

Also it's nice to see another OU fan

Yes and in Ncaa you get more out of the players because they are playing to get that big NFL contract in the NFL you are sitting on 30 million guaranteed if you play or not if you are any good
in other news The Dallas Cowboys got a huge win over the Seahawks. I'll bet lots of money was lost on that one

Yeah, my family was thrilled about the Cowboys' victory, but only because they hate the Seahawks more than they hate the Cowboys.

I'd say college and pro football are both fun to watch. As far as keeping up with what's going on, the NFL has the edge because there's only 32 teams, whereas college has hundreds of teams and ranking that just gets me confused. Still love the Vols, though.

Yeah I like both myself. College and the NFL both have different strong points. They can be interesting for different reasons.

College > NFL change my mind

If it comes down to Clemson v. Alabama, I will of course root for Clemson.

I find the concept of American "football" confusing, for one thing as it isn't played using the feet. Defeats the object. It's closer to rugby. But for softies, since they need to wear body armour. And i find ruggers hard to follow
