This is stupid. Who gives a shit about school rah rah bullshit. And you guys keep coming up with big game atmoshpere excuse when the truth is that most major programs spend 4 0r 5 weeks out of the year competing against teams that actually have a chance and the rest of the year playing patsies.

Where's the "drama" and "atmosphere" on watching an SEC team drop 50 on Prairie View? USC is opening the seaosn by visiting Hawaii..and they're 37 point favorites. Woop dee doo. Go NCAA.

Take away the alumni bullshit and the fact is that the NFL is better in every single way:Better athletes. Galactically better. The jump from college to pro football is the biggest jump in professional sports.

Better coaches. How many college 'geniuses' fell flat on their faces in The League because you can't just recruit your way to 12 wins every year. Spurrier. Erickson. Carroll. Switzer. None of them could cut it. That's because being a successful NFL coach means you have to eat, sleep, and breathe fotball for 9 months out of the year and most people can't hack it.

Better games. More tight contests. More intense. Fuck that school spirit. The NFL is the only league w/o guaranteed contracts. You screw up big, you might be fired. How can you compare the week in week out intensity of a major college playing against a mostly fluff schedule where the best players routinely overmatch the opposition against a league where every single player on the field was among the best players in the country when they went to school? Oh, and the officiating is light years better. Do you ever hear stories of NFL referees giving out 5 downs? They screw up, but I've seen Big 12 games where the officials were just grossly incomeptent.

Also, there's an actual champion at the end off the year. How can you say the college game is better when this year's national title is going to be determined in part by a coaches poll where its been proven that a good portion of the coaches don't bother to watch other teams' games or outright let their assistants fill out the poll for them? Or that Gallup poll made up of a group of experts...mostly a bunch of old has beens one of whom didn't know that the Vick at QB wasn't Michael but his little brother?

The Bowl system alone makes the College game a joke.

Oh..and you want big game atmosphere? Super Bowl, bitches. The single most watched event in north America on an annual basis.

NFL football is the best athletes in the world at their sport playing at the highest level humanly possible. Anyone arguing that college is better because "its more emotional or there's more of a connection" is just being petty because NFL players are getting paid.

Like that stud CB is at your school because he gives a fuck about you? He's there to get the free diploma, to let the boosters buy him a car, to sleep with your girlfriend, and maybe, if he's lucky, to get to the NFL.
