    • Be specific.

    What is your favorite sport? Is it college basketball? college football? pro football? etc.

    My apologies if this has already been discussed. I used the search function to no avail.

    My favorite sport is college football.

    Elaborate if you want.

    :biggrin:
     
    College Football without question.

    Rivalries: OSU/Michigan, Auburn/Alabama, Georgia/Florida, USC/Notre Dame. Kids it don't get any better than that. You lose that game as a senior, it gnaws at you for life

    Bands: Script Ohio, Fight songs (although Rocky Top drives me nuts)

    Tradition: Howards Rock, "Play Like a Champion Today" sign, Go Blue Banner, We are the Boys of Old Florida. These are the things that make college football unique.

    Travelling Trophies: Floyd of Rosedale, Paul Bunyan's Axe (find me a cooler trophy), Keg of Nails, Old Oaken Bucket. Maybe my favorite part of college football right there.

    That's just the big schools.

    What about Navy, Air Force and Army? Watch the Army/Navy game in a week or two. There is a good chance that one of them will die in combat in the next two years. They play for the love of the sport, for the love of their branch of the military and for pride. None of them are going to the pros. They play and play hard for the love of the game.

    Harvard/Yale? Two storied programs no longer the powerful teams of yesteryear. Did you see the triple OT thriller these guys played on Saturday? That is pure sport at its best.

    The NFL can't touch it. MLB can't fathom it. The NBA can hardly spell it.

    Screw pro sports. Give me college football. Nothing else comes close.

    College sports rank above all pro sports, minus golf.

    I would rather watch college kids that are out there giving there 100% all day because they haven't made it to the money leagues yet, more drive and determination.

    I like the NFL because the balance of power is constantly shifting, and the coaches are more down to earth and open w/ the media. The hitting is harder, and the teams do not resort to gimmick offenses to try and look better than they really are. Plus, the officiating is much better. People can talk about amateurs and travelling trophies, and what not, but the fact of the matter is, the NFL is the game being played at the highest level of its evolution.
