Top 10 Reasons to Love College Football

My favorite sport to watch and read and write about is obviously college football. Here is why:

10) The Heisman: It's one of the most iconic trophies in the country. Winning it means nothing in the NFL.

9) Bowl Season: It's great to turn on the TV in December and be able to watch the Fatchickporn.com Bowl featuring the UNLV Rebels and the Idaho Vandals.

8) Cinderella Stories: Who ever forgets the Boise States


7) Fight Songs: I had a friend at Pittsburgh that said one football game the band never showed up and no one knew what the hell to do.

6) Every week counts: Other than in 2007 most teams can't afford to ever lose a game. If your not undefeated your not playing for the championship.

5) Billions of Teams: You can't not find a game you want to watch.

4) The Spread: Not the spread specifically but the fact that gimmick offenses work and that college teams pull trick plays.

3) Fans: Just wow.



2) Rivalries: I live 1000 miles from Georgia and Flordia but I have wood whenever these two teams play.
1) Tradition: College Football came before the NFL. Football history exists on campus and no where else.

Yeah except college football is boring and for the most part badly played. It's like watching an after-work softball league instead of going to a Yankees game.
