College Football better than NFL
Now I know what your thinking! Football is football right? So how can college football be so different from NFL football? Well it is true that the basics of the game between the two levels are the same. For example, how to score points and and their values,first downs and so on and so forth. There are a few things to me at least that makes college football special.
The actual football for instance, NFL's football is shaped for passing. It's not as big around, which helps cut back on drag. It also has no personality if you ask me. I will explain. The college football is bigger around and has two white stripes one on each end of the ball. This way when the ball is thrown to a receiver you will actually be able to see the ball spin. Now that is character! Unlike the solid brown"turd" the NFL plays with. Besides, who wants to play a sport where you both run and pass with a ball that is made for only passing? Not I says this college guy!
"Three cheers for ol Notre Dame"..! Fight songs are another reason the college game is better than the pro game. Now I know that NFL teams have fight songs, but do you ever hear them and when can you ever remember them being played after a score or a big play? I'll wait while you think about it. Sure when the pros score it's fun to here the cheers and see the fireworks. Now picture an entire stadium busting out simultaneously with "Yeah Alabama"! College wins hands down.
There is nothing like watching the Buckeye marching band at the Horseshoe dot the "i" in front of a frenzy scarlet and grey dressed crowd! The marching bands are just as big a part of college football as the teams themselves. My personal favorite is the Million Dollar Band but there are other great bands like Florida A&M or Grambling for example. Close your eyes and think about the last time your favorite college football team scored. You instantly hear your teams fight song and the band fire up that special sound that gets your heart pumping! Won't find "Rocky Top" being played by a band in the NFL.
I could go on and on about why college football is better than football in the pros. Don't get me wrong I very much enjoy the NFL! College just has something special about it. The traditions, century old rivalries and the loyalty to your team. You never worry about your team "trading" any player to free up money, and most of all you never ever have to worry about a Lockout!
