What is more exciting?

Last English football post, I promise......didn't even know Shearer took over....wow. I became a fan when Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer led Newcastle finished second in the EPL.

hardcore football fans follow the college game. Sunday football is for the amateurs.

Actually by your logic real football fans like watching a bunch of amateurs.

I dont like the non-conference schedule that allows BCS-conference teams to destroy cupcakes by 50 points. Boring. The occasional App. State upset is fun, but too rare. I propose making all BCS conference teams play only other BCS conference teams for their non-conference games. Sorry Wofford!

Have you never watched it? That stuff is priceless!

[Harlan Huckleby]

uhhh, no, the logic is not that more junior levels are always more interesting. Just that college is a better game than pro.

I guess that would provide a different perspective.

I like it when non BCS schools like Utah and Boise State beat up on BCS schools in BCS bowls.

That makes sense. Alan's still in his 30s and has a lot to learn. It was only yesterday he was my favorite player on the England national team.

I think I enjoy the pro game more because I have an opportunity to get to know the players for a longer period of time and know who they are. With college, it's just a couple season and they're out. The pro game is also faster with bigger hits. Except against the QB, specifically Tom Brady. Can't breathe near him or its 15 yards. Also I love the wide receivers in the NFL, what they can do while still keeping both feet in is exciting and impressive.

You could make a case that the College game is better because the talent disparity is greater, both within each team and from team to team.

Thus the lack of consistent talent allows for more "exciting" big plays to occur as mistakes and pure abilities are displayed. Exactly why a guy like Reggie Bush is a stud in college and an average joe in the pro game.

In the pro's, the talent levels are not as varied (good to bad), so player execution and schemes play a bigger role in the games outcome than just talent alone.
