What makes college football better than NFL???


Feb 2, 2020, 7:10 PM

I’m talking about the actual game not the players being paid. I live and breathe college football but to me the nfl is boring. I guess it’s the 2 yards and a cloud of dust and the 17-10 final scores that make it so boring. Anyways what do y’all say. Anyways GO TIGERS!!!

The only edge the NFL has over college is fantasy football


Feb 2, 2020, 7:14 PM

college fantasy football is one complicated mess.

Fan involvement, atmosphere, being on Saturday, more regional options for non pro towns, history.

But I love football. Anyone who "hates the NFL" but loves college is curious to me. Take out politics and money and you get football, my favorite sport.

I’m in the same boat as you. I live and breath Tiger football but almost couldn’t care less about the NFL. I love seeing our Tigers play well in the NFL but I find the NFL boring. Probably won’t even watch the SB tonight. (I know. I know. Un-American).

What I have found or what it seems like to me - that in College Football, the gap in skill level between the best player and the worst player is huge! The skill players are a cut above and easily noticeably. Makes it fun. But in the NFL, everyone is great and the gap in skill level is much smaller. The best player isn’t THAT much better than the average player because the average guy is still really really good. Watching guys stand out and being a cut above is what makes college football so fun to watch. But that’s just my humble take that really means nothing.

the reason is the personal connections and ties


Feb 2, 2020, 7:21 PM

Sammy Watkins, Deshaun Watson, the Fridge, all the players --- sat in the same classrooms, ate at the same restaurants, walked the same sidewalks when they were age 18-22 as I, or you, did.

NFL - you will never get that level of connection.

My love of Clemson makes college football my game


Feb 2, 2020, 7:25 PM

But.....my love of Clemson players has recently made the NFL much more intertaining.

I entered an interesting discussion with some people a few years back on this. Strangely enough, the root of the answer seems to lie simply in “the hash marks.”

I think a lot of it has to do with the investment the vast majority of people made in college to that football team and that’s what makes the pageantry unlike any other. Think about it every student paid minimum $50k and spent 4 years of their life on campus. Yes there are bandwagon fans but most of the time if they weren’t students there is a connection, son/daughter/family, you live there, whatever it may be but it’s still a closer connection compared to professional sports.

With NFL sports there always seems like a disconnect. It seems like every good college football name crowd noise is a factor, you can FEEL the energy. Rarely does that happen IMO in the NFL

For those who truly enjoy the X’s and O’s the NFL has a more cerebral aspect to it, yes players make plays no doubt but schemes, tendencies, angles, and matchups are such a bigger factor.
