I was thinking while watching VA Tech v West Virginia tonight and other huge college games and upsets this weekend (Liberty!) how there is no doubt that I now prefer the college football experience by far to the NFL.
I grew up a rabid NFL fan and although I went to some college games and liked it, the NFL to me was superior. Over the last several years, I have drifted more and more to a college fan (and of high school) way over the pros.
The college football product represents tradition, spectacular pageantry, unreal passionate fans, colors, marching bands, amazing tailgating, cool mascots, fascinating coaching personalities, state and school pride, huge match ups every week, and just a great family atmosphere on Game Day!
To me, the NFL has become about Roger Goodell, Colin Kaepernick, PR disasters like that idiotic deflategate, domestic abuse and so on.
Heck, the last NFL game I went to we got in a minor traffic accident in traffic jam trying to get to Fed Ex, I counted well over 10 fights (some bad), and many people acted like fools (it was MNF). I haven't been back to a game since. I have a big flat screen at home to enjoy like most ha.
Oh I still watch the NFL but if it wasn't for my fantasy football league, I'm not sure if I would even care anymore. Except for maybe a fun Super Bowl party!
Any other thoughts on this topic? Maybe I'm just getting old ha.
