2013 College Football Countdown- 1 Day Away!


The 2013 College Football season is now just 1 day away, as the football season kicks off tomorrow with a full slate of games.  Today, I will give you a couple of reasons why I like watching college football more then I like watching the NFL.  It is not meant to be a disrespect to the NFL just a shout out to how good that the college game is.

The first reason why I love the college game is that you know that college kids are going to give it everything they have for the 3 or 4 years that they are playing for their school.  These athletes are representing themselves, their family, their towns, and most importantly their schools.  A lot of these players will not play past college football so they will play hard and give it everything they have.  I am not saying that NFL players don't give it everything that they have, but there are players that decide that they are getting paid a lot of money so they have the right to decide when they give effort and when they don't.  So because of that you see some players take plays off.  That is not only detrimental to themselves but also to the other players on the field because they can possibly get hurt in the process.



Another reason why I love the college game is for all the pregame rituals that are tied to each school.  Everything from singing their school fight songs to the marching bands playing during halftime.  I really enjoy seeing all the different things that schools do to get the fans involved and feel as though they are apart of the team.  Not only that but it gives alumni the ability to constantly follow the schools that they graduated from.  There are many more reasons for why I enjoy the college football game over the NFL and I will go into more detail throughout the season along with many videos to show you how important the college game is to the development of student athletes.
