Your post was cool though til you had to bring up a stud corner back fucking peoples girlfriends or something, I don't know what you were trying to do there. Really had nothing to do with anything.

First off, I never said college football sucked, I was just pointing out the fact that saying NCAA football is better is just stupid. And it is. For all the reason I pointed out. The way the game is played, officiated, and governed is 10 times better at the pro level.
And the stuff about the mentality of the 'stud CB' was there to point out the great irony in the rah rah mentality of the NCAA. College fans like to point to stuff like "school spirit" and "student athlete" to try to prove that college games somehow mean more emotionally and that they just can't stand to watch a bunch of paid mercenaries going from team to team, making as much money as pocssible and not giving a shit about the fans.
Well, guess what? College football players are just as mercenary, if not more so. Because for most of them, the NCAA is the only place they're going to get that treatment. They might "love" the school, they might not, but they are there to get as much as humanly possible out of the opportunity just like anybody else would be.
What gets me even more about the whole "I don't want to watch a bunch of millionaires running around" bullshit is that, outside of pro hockey players, NFL players have to be the hardest working, most normal, most anonymous gourp of pro athletes around. No guaranteed money, the average career lasts less than three years, a great likelihood of permanent physical injury/discomfort, and a huge majority making a very normal league minimum of roughly 300 K a year. These aren't spoiled prima donnas.
In short, college football does not "suck;" but its just not the same caliber of the NFL and any excuses that people give are basically crap.
