Today, my friends is college-football-is-almost-here celebration day. On Thursday, the season officially kicks off with Wake and Baylor. I have not an inkling of affiliation with either of those institutions but, regardless, I can not wait.
Don't get me wrong, I'm like every other red-blooded American alpha-male. Sundays are devoted to The League. And Mondays. Sometimes Thursdays. Saturdays later in the fall... Give me the Jets at 1 and Giants at 4, and I'm the proverbial pig in sh*t. Toss in another FOX or CBS game to jump with and top it off with a decent Sunday night game? It doesn't get much better than that.
But I'd still take a Saturday in October over the NFL's best almost any day. College football just has something. Maybe it's the uniforms, the passion, the rivalries and maybe it's the crowd, the youth, the number of schools you can follow...
All I know is that I can sit and watch an early Big Ten game, followed by some ACC afternoon...
Original Story:
I would agree. I didn't even go to University of Wisconsin, but have been a die hard Badger fan since 1998. That's when the Badgers went to the Rose Bowl. My dad gets season badger tickets every year. He has to pay a lot just for the right section. So many ways I can tell you how college football is a whole lot better than NFL. I don't want to list all the ways. I want to tell you that I have not been a Packer fan since they won the Superbowl. I don't even remember what year that was. I thought I should have thrown that out, not that it matters. I will just name a few things why college football is better than prop football. 1. The tradition ie: Varsity, UBUD's alma matter. 2. marching bands 3. mascots 4. Tailgating. 5. Enthuasism. 6. Rivalries ie: Wisconsin vs Minn., the most most played rivalry in all of D1 NCAA. Have I made my point?
