And to the bball firsters, could that be different if the FB restart had been in 1970 as opposed to 2010 and had been part of your college experience?
Thanks for posting the question. I will attempt to rank my favorite sports in order, though I will admit I have a hard time with top 2. So I will give them a tie at 1a/1b.
1a. ODU Basketball
1b. Green Bay Packers football
2. Rest of NFL
3. Rest of college basketball (admittedly moreso ACC and BE or top 25 than anything else. For instance I do not watch other CUSA games ever)
4. Premier League soccer
After those, it's a heap of NBA (really only watch during playoffs), college softball, dabble in league of legends (esports) but not so much anymore.
I'm not really into college football at all. I'll watch the title game, that was about it besides ODU home games. I didn't even tune in to ODU away games. Maybe that will change, but I doubt it.
I did not watch one second of XFL and probably will not. It's college basketball time.
To answer your second question, I probably would be more into ODU football if we had it when I first arrived onto campus, as I had always been a football fan (Packers/NFL) growing up. I hadn't seen much of any college basketball before arriving at ODU. ODU hoops made me fall in love with college basketball. Glad it happened that way.
