Some people feel like a part of their high school team like college athletes have a interest in their college teams. I don’t understand it. Some people need to feel like they are a part of something.

I’m guessing they just had a championship game?

I doubt I could name 2 players in the league.

Admittedly I’d probably find it difficult to name 5 in the NBA also.

I love to watch college football, and not only if LSU is playing. But why? It's clearly inferior to the NFL. And people love March Madness...why? It's SEVERELY inferior to the NBA (or even the D-league). Speaking of which - why don't more people watch the D-league?

I don't personally like women's basketball, but saying it's just because they are worse than men doesn't seem like it captures the whole thing to me. There are certain women's sports I can watch easily - volleyball and even some soccer.

I think a lot of it is the pageantry of it. Only thing comparable stateside to the professional soccer leagues and clubs in Europe when it comes to the passion of fans and tailgating. College football is the only sport I know of with specific purpose 100000+ capacity stadiums. Maybe nascar?

British guy reaction to college football atmospheres

Is it though? It’s tough watching a team go 7-9.

Plus at LSU you literally watched guys that were already bettter than some nfl players. Not all obviously, but you get the point.

Also traveling around to sec stadiums for your first time is cool. And still went to nfl stadiums to watch LSU in bowl games and kick off classics.

I enjoy the overall product of college football over the nfl.

Thinking more about it, the sec is legit the second best league in the world when it comes to American football. The sport really isn’t played anywhere else and the sec generally has the most draft picks.

Why do they have so many floats?


They’re double decker busses, and I agree. But the real question is, who the frick are all the people on them…?

300,000 people watched the clinching game. I bet 30 CFB games in any given Saturday top that

In 25 years there have been 900 WNBA games played, not including playoffs. In those 900+ games there have been 27 dunks made. 20 of those made by one person, who is 6'8".
