Which Do You Like Better College or NFL Football?

I laugh every time I see that clip on NFL Films. :lol:

 

Grew up a Saints fan in New Orleans. Back then, before free agency, there was team loyalty with players. Back then, football was the only pro sport I enjoyed over college. Now that players go to the highest bidder, I'm a larger fan of college ball (though still a Saints fan).

 

College. However, I wouldn't watch any two college teams go at it (Rutgers vs. Cincinnati was BORING), but I would watch almost any two NFL teams battle it out.

They both have their pros:

College
- Regional prejudice
- School pride/student fans
- Passion and emotion without the paycheck
- More of a team-first mentality
- Good players usually stick with one team
- Recruiting
- Hotter chicks

NFL
- More of a state/large city pride, rather than a smaller city/local pride. I like the Saints and think they represent Louisiana as a whole professionally, but I don't care for Tulane and think LSU represents the state as a whole "collegiately."
- Draft/getting to see your favorite (and not so favorite) college players succeed or bomb out (Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf) for a number of years.
- Football at the highest possible skill level. I'm willing to bet that the worst NFL team would steam roll the best college team. It's just a much higher level of production.

I love 'em both, but have to give it to college. It's just more exciting as the season progresses. One loss, and your season could be in jeopardy.

College-no question about.
The teams
The rivalries
The fans
The food
The pageantry
The stadiums
The history of the schools
The excitement

I could go on and on..

 

college.
i have no emotional attachment to any NFL team.

i'll bounce around from game to game on the Sunday Ticket, or stare at the Redzone channel for 6 hours, but mostly will just follow my fantasy team.

 

Thanks. :thumb:

And yes, I laughed. :hihi:

 

My feelings exactly!

:geaux:

 

I hate agreeing with you as much as I do on this point.:redface:
