    College football. SEC all day!!!

    Hopefully an actual team rather than the entire conference?

    I am a VOL until the day I die (even if we suck right now) and my little brother started at Texas A&M and just got drafted.

    Love my Vols! I'm hoping we can start finally rebuilding soon!

    Nothing beats the sound of Rocky Top coming from a 100k+. The thought almost brings a tear to my eye. The fall Saturdays of my undergrad years were the best!

    NHL

    Well, yes, he's right. However, I'm partial to Girls U19 hockey over UHL. I kind of sort of am the mom to one of the State Champs.

    But to answer the OP's question, College! Go Irish!!!

    Both have huge plus points, namely the Notre Dame Fighting irish and the San Francisco 49ers. Every other team sucks.

    Apparently you didn't watch the 2012 National Championship game. Notre Dame shouldn't have even been there.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    College is more pure football..the NFL is a more general entertainment package.

    Till College football goes to an "real" elimination system to have an undisputed championship, then it's still the NFL for me.

    NFL by far over college.

    if college ever gets a real playoff system it will be a closer contest.

    You do know they're switching to a playoff system in 2014 right? Or do you not like the setup?

    It's a +1, or 4 team playoff. Not exactly the paragon of systems. Certainly better than what it is now.

    The postseason/championship is not only the worst thing about college football, it is the worst thing in any sport.

    That said, college football still overcomes it, because it is so good, and people are more emotionally invested in schools that they either went to, or grew up around. So going to the games is just a better, and more fun experience (to me).

    But the NFL is set up just about as perfect as a league can be. It has the right amount of games where each game is important, it has parity, and an exciting playoff.

    So, to me, the difference between the 2 is like the difference between the teddy bear that you grew up with that is matted and torn a little but it was by your side though all your childhood milestones and a brand new perfect teddy bear

    The trick to enjoying Nascar is to take a drink every time someone makes a left turn.

    I'd have to say college. Every single game counts, you have to win EVERY TIME, and although a lot of them are playing to get NFL contracts (and most of them are playing to pay for school via scholarships), the majority of college athletes don't go on to play pro. They just seem to play with more heart IMO.

    I love NFL, don't get me wrong, but I literally cried watching UT win the National Championship in 2006. And I went to the championship game in 2010 and -again- cried when Colt McCoy got hurt. There's just something about college sports that pulls at my heart a little more!

    Except for all the UT mumbo jumbo, I agree... and when a school is your alma mater or in the community... there is a connection there that envokes pride and nostelgia...

    Lol fun fact, Johnny Manziel has a Texas Longhorn tattoo on his ribcage. We may have lost out on him (because we're stupid and wanted to recruit him as a defensive back), but he's got that on him foreverrrr!

    funner fact...that was a fake tattoo that he used to troll twitter followers...

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2013/03/13/johnny-manziel-texas-tattoo-fake-twitter-response/1984761/

    It was fake?? I don't follow him on twitter (obviously) I saw like 4 different pics of it, like not all at the same time/same day, never followed up on it though...well in that case, at least he's not a total idiot, he's just a douche lol I will say, from people who know him and his family, that I've heard he's like a major *kitten*, let his newfound fame go to his head. Won't deny the kid is extremely talented though

    Yeah, that doesn't surprise me AT ALL... most gaggies are douches (I work for some and our Governor is a great example)... I think they learn it in Freshman Orientation or something.

    Look at how many college superstars never even make it in the NFL. Then you also have your college "nobodies" that make it huge in the NFL, so with this reasoning the NFL is far better !!!!

    NFL, but I went to Illinois and we stopped playing competitive football years ago so can't really get into college football other than as a passive fan without a team to really root for.

    Just like Carlin said -

    Only reason anyone watches is for the accidents. I mean it isn't really a sport. Driving 500 miles in a circle does not impress me. Plus who cares who wins, it is the same 5 rednecks that win every week anyway.....

    It used to be college. But now that money drives the sport, it really isn't much different from the NFL. At least the NFL doesn't pretend, the players are paid and the objective is to make more money for the program.

    I need the practice... I'm in TCU country now... but boy do I loath A&M coming from Red Raider country... then learned to not like (in an affectionate way) the Longhorns going to their Rival school across the Red River... But I am Big 12 all the way.

    College Football....Without A Doubt

    SACK-ATTACK.gif

    Best Rivalry In Any Sport

    I am amazed you posted a Michigan hit after this absolute *kitten*-kicking that Clowney put on you.....

    Greatest hit EVAR.


    33xbmkz.gif

    Why are you amazed? Im a fan of the game itself, not just college football which means Im a fan of Clowney. I loved Spurier when he was in Florida and that South Carolina team he put together is awesome and had just about the toughest schedule in the country. It would have been a huge upset if Michigan won the Capital One Bow. That hit was also AMAZING because hes a MAN playing among boys. It just so happens Im a Michigan fan for many, many reasons. Integrity and graduating players is one of them which I cant say the same for Ohio State, Miami, Oregon, USC and just about any SEC team except for Vanderbilt. TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
