It was a good game and I only chanced upon it idly flipping through channels, I didn't know they showed college football out here.

To be honest, as a non-American, I find your college sports far more interesting than NFL or NBA.


You sir have realized something many of my peers have not. But most other people I know like college football far better than NFL. As much as I would like a bowl, having every game count is really what makes college football so exciting. That, and the huge upsets. The Raiders would never beat the Patriots. If they did, it wouldn't be nearly as exciting as Florida losing to say... Washington State. Congrats on seeing the light!

I would say college sports are more exciting as is high scholl more then college. I don't particurarly like the NBA, but most other pro sports i am big fans off. And it just goes to show you that teams like USC are overrated as was Michigan in the past few years, and Ohio and Peen State definelty. PS doesn't even try o schedule good non-league games. Thats why i have become an Air Force Fan at least they have some interesting nl games and are consistently good.

I prefer college to high school as of late. In '05 my high school was ranked in the top fifteen in the entire nation for the best high school football teams. Since then we've struggled a bit. Only one state championship since that season which we lost. Our basketball has always sucked.

Nah, Ohio State winning was a great way to finish off my days attending OSU games as a student. Thrilling game, one of the most enjoyable to watch since the 2007 #1 v. #2 game against Michigan.

I like pro sports because of the quality of play. They are just more talented. I do love college basketball though, but I only watch it during march madness. High school sports were only exciting when my friends were playing in the games. Now its just kind of boring.

Quaifty. Sure the players in the NBA are good, but as voted by a poll the players are the least of the major sports to try, and i would venture to say they are right because it seems to me as of late the NBA is just a big problem. Coincidentally the hardest playing players are in the NHL, followed by NFL and MLb. I think it was an SI or something sometime. I would have to agree with this though because the NBA just seems wrong nowadays and the MLB, and nfl are good, while the NHL seems to have the hardest playing people as they dont get much glory comapared to others. And sinc ei most likely will not be playing anything for at least the rest of the year i stil like to get to every single high scholl football game and all the home soccer games and playoffs for that. I m thinking about going to basketball games if our team can compete this year and not continue from going 4-and like 50 in the past two years. Are baseball teams just suck, and the only contenders state wide we have consistently is in volleyball for both sides.

On that topic, I think it was a good call. You gotta remember who he's against. PEYTON MANNING. The last drive the Colts plowed right through them. They could've easily made sixty yards just like thirty. The stats also give a good idea of how well he does on fourth down. Of course its always been about results. If he made it, it would have been a fine call.

I actually agree, but, how does that help me put in a cheap shot on New England so I can increase New Orleans' rank? :lol:

No. You just can't appreciate good football. Cleveland and Derek Anderson are up there for obvious reasons. Detroit is the cream of the NFC, and St. Louis is once again the greatest show on earth.

So close, at least the Slovenians won which makes me somewhat happy. Bosnia couldnt come back though, and Ukraine Greece was at least close. Algeria made it as well which is cool. Hopefully Uruguay seal it tonight. Can't wait untill draw.
