The NFL season

blueerica · 10-14-2007, 08:36 PM

I only watch the NFL passively. I love football, but find the pro stuff to feel a little manufactured... not nearly as exciting as I once found it. As such, I tend to not really follow a team. Growing up in Michigan didn't exactly foster and pro ball fanaticism for me. It did give me a passion for college ball.

I grew up a Wolverine fan, and while I still like to see them win, for a variety of reasons I've become a fan of the Florida Gators. Gimme the passion and insanity of college ball any day. (And wooo is this season crazayy!)

I agree. The Wolverines can't match the Gators' history of NCAA violations. Unless you look at their basketball program.

Frankly, the treasonous state of Florida has rather quietly accumulated too many championships in alll sports in the last ten years for my taste.

Football rocks! I do like College football over Pro Football though. There's more pageantry and the cheerleaders are cooler. No scantly clad women doing dnaces do not count as cheerleaders to me. Sorry.

I will say if there is a team that goes through a regular season undefeated they will not win the Super Bowl. Lately the teams that have the best record get home field advantage in the playoffs have trouble winning their first playoff games.
