Football is like those last 2 minutes in a college basketball game when the score is close and the trailing team immediately fouls the second the ball is thrown in causing the game to run in 3-second bursts for what seems like an eternity. Pure torture.

To be fair, baseball is also extremely boring.

Do I even need to bring up fking soccer?

NBA basketball looks like college basketball players running warm-up drills.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, college basketball has much more action per minute of ass in seat. I don't have time to watch humans walk around on grassy fields. Get the **** on with it!

That is all.

Happy Monday everyone!

I agree with you on the NFL, just don't watch or keep up with it, well, till the playoffs. But hey, you'll come to love college football once you realize it's the number one sport and the one that really matters.

I agree, football is a cerebral sport attended by the ruling class of society.

nfl has dramatically better talent, especially at tackling, so there arent that many big plays.
most nfl team run the prosyle offense. which is low scoring type of football, most in college run a spread/tempo offense which is built to score a TON

secondly the last few minutes of fottball are easily the best and the complete opposite of football....in basketball you are just stalling..in football there are hail maties, on side kicks (get numerous possesions at once), ways you can actually alter a game..

houston was once down 21 to pitt with 5 mnutes to go (a regular drive in football for 1 team is regularly about 4 minutes)...houston scored, onsided, scored, onsided, scored, then went for a 2 point conversion on the last score to take the lead
https://youtu.be/rTM308pWM1Q

and you had zero rooting interest or care about the team or know the weight of each game...football is inherently more interesting becuase EVERY GAME matter..especially in college you lose 1 game and your entire season is ruined
usf lost one game to houston, on a 4 and 24 hail mary are still 8-1 (out of 12 games) and they went from media darlings top 15 team to irrelevant by the national media ..every upset is season changing good or bad
even for the big dogs... there are only 4 playoff spots for 5 power conferences and ND..a dn a conference can get more than 1 slot...every game matter...georgia just went from the best best team in college football..to an unliklley team to make the playoff in 1 game

in basketball...the acc has .500 team make the tourney...the nba had 90 game in the regular season...individual games are meaningless
