College football specifically. I cannot stand the NFL.

I really don't understand this. I can understand if you don't like football at all, or prefer one or the other (I prefer the NFL), but I don't understand loving one and hating the other.

FWIW, the NFL is a lot more complex, and I find it a lot more interesting. But I definitely enjoy college football.

how the [censored] can anyone say that ncaa football/basketball is better than NFL/NBA?

(the only acceptable answer i have is that you go to the school and aren't a real sports fan but like the excitement of games or something.)

I actually much prefer college basketball to the NBA. The atmosphere, especially during March Madness is just amazing.

College players look like they're playing harder and they care more. I don't understand how anyone can prefer NBA to NCAA basketball. Football is debatable, I prefer college but I can understand why people like the NFL more.

college = white guys jacking up 21 foot 3 pointers all game. watch the gansey/pittnogle WVU team. just awful basketball.

the reason that college players look like they are playing harder is that you have a lot of teams focusing on one or two players, which means there's tons of players just keying on that one JJ redick, adam morrison etc.

in the NBA, the big men are so talented, you can't leave brad miller, chris bosh, KG etc. open because they will punish you by knocking down shots, which is why a lot of people think that the NBA is just one-one-one. they are right, but it's not a matter of effort.

also...lebron james never went to college and unscientifically i'd say he's the most exciting player to watch in the country (excluding "world" because of Yao and trillions of Chinese).

Maybe you misunderstood my post, I didn't ever say that the NBA players were less talented or didn't try hard. I explained that college is more fun to watch because...it's more fun to watch. That's great that they're better athletes and that they're punish you if you leave them alone, but I can't stand watching the games so I don't care. And I do think, regardless of what anyone says since everyone is just guessing, that college players do care more/try harder on average.

College players just look like it's more important to them when they're diving for loose balls or boxing out for a rebound. To a lesser extent, the same is true in football.

I don't care if it's "awful basketball," which I do not think it is, because I'm not looking for a basketball teaching guide.

In person: college football. Nothing beats the atmosphere.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think NFL games have better atmosphere outside of student sections. Some schools have absolutely ridiculous student sections that are unrivaled by any crowd at any sport.

Also, the atmosphere at a big time soccer game might be better than both, but unlike NFL/CollFB, I don't know first hand.
