I've always been a yahoo fantasy sports guy. My profile is from about 2005 on there, and I vote we go there.

Oh, hell, no!

I bleed burnt orange. Just because I live in enemy territory doesn't mean I drink the green-and-gold Kool Aid.

Just because you guys are a respectable international crowd who won't try to burn down my house via mattress and force me to find an airlift to get away from rowdy fans... gotta get it off my chest: College football fucksucks.

[Varus]

I celebrate all football. I even used to watch the Canadian Football League.

Fav NFL teams: Cowboys, Whatever Team Peyton Manning is On (So Long as It's Not the Eagles, Giants, or Redskins), Chargers.

That's the only way an NFC East champ is crowned.

Haha I can respect that. Certainly share your love and the special bond you have with your college football team,

I just don't like the whole thing. The arbitrary voting systems, the "This team should be ranked higher than this team because they play in a conference full of more teams that are highly ranked", the entirely different schedules that aren't really comparable, the miserable fanbases and fired coaches because their teams went 10-2 and wound up in a meaningless bowl game... College football as a whole just isn't for me. Can't really hate on someone who likes it, but UT (well, the REAL UT :tough football recruiting is all I've heard for weeks now.

Well, there are some good things about it, seeing a bunch of drunk people misspelling words talking shit to all 5 of the Vandy fans on Twitter when drunk and misspelling words and talking trash to Vandy fans about them having our recruiting class and talk about how a coach that iisn't there anymore is going down while the Vandy fans come back with coherent sentences and properly spelled words to explain how they don't have time for this shit. That is pretty cool. tunga:

Sounds like a "discussion" between Aggies (now that they're the SEC's problem) and Rice fans. Those get funny quickly.

Yes, I agree with a lot of your reasoning. It's time to standardize how college football operates, put everybody in a conference, set up a real playoff system, and crown an actual national champion every year. This would keep it from being the beauty contest it has been for a few decades now. It would also allow teams like Boise State, TCU, Central Florida, etc., etc., to get a shot at winning the whole thing, if they were good enough, rather than them being discounted because "they didn't play anybody" even though they went undefeated. It also would allow teams who had one or two hiccups on their schedule to still have a shot at playing for something more than the "Insert Your Name Here for $5,000" Bowl Championship.

As for the drunks, coaches getting fired (remember, I'm a Cowboys fan...we fired Chan Gailey for not winning in the playoffs and hired Dave Campo...who couldn't get to the playoffs) for no real reason, etc., I see the same thing in every professional sport at some point or another. But, I still celebrate sport.

In conclusion, to each his own. And, as for living in Baylor territory (which I do), I married a Baylor chick who came from a family of Baylor people (father, mother, two uncles, three aunts...all Baylor grads) and converted her to being a fan of the Longhorns. That's right, (in something I will never say in front of her parents) being a Longhorn is apparently a sexually transmitted disease.

It was always just something to do on Saturday to kill time until sunday for me. I really don't enjoy it much frankly.

I'll never understand people who are obsessed with college football. I mean, I can see being a fan, but liking it more than the NFL?

THE PASSION! THE PAGEANTRY!

man, gtfo, why would I want to watch 18 & 20 year old kids when I can watch the best athletes in the world play the game at its highest level? College football just annoys me honestly
