Reply #17: College games define entire eras and regions [View All]

[Awsi Dooger]

The rosters are basically home grown. It's infinitely more interesting than pro games where you can lose 5 or 6 games a year and still qualify for the playoffs, with a random roster comprised of players from every region. Even the pro rivalries are comparatively meaningless, via the basics that most rivalries are interdivision and therefore you play twice a year, and not the ultra significant one-and-done bragging rights for an entire year.

Still, the college game is becoming too much like the pros in one pathetic respect: copycatting. Instead of the proper variety of offensive schemes, I'm now watching dozens of games every week with both teams in wimpy spread offenses taking snaps from the shotgun.
