    We love our college football here in the South, but our Yankee friends prefer the NFL. Why? This was always a debate between us fine, college football loving Southerners and those perverted, NFL loving Yankees.

    I think it's because the college teams are soooo much better down here. The only way the Yanks can root for the best players is to wait until they get drafted up north.

    The same reason I don't follow Triple-A as much as I do MLB. :D;)

    But AAA is not as good a product as MLB. College football is a better brand of football. More offenses- Fun and Gun, Triple Option, Spread Option, Smashmouth, Pro Style Offense. Whereas, NFL has 32 versions of the West Coast Offense.

    I only like (occasional) college football, I never watch NFL, and I'm a Yankee.

    I'm just breaking balls. I watch it all. If you told me I could only watch one for the rest of my life, then yes, I would pick the NFL.

    Besides, don't they go nutz for high school ball down in Texas? You should ask them why too.

    We love it here, too. I live an hour north of ESPN's Titletown USA.

    Um, college football is immensely popular in the Midwest. Perhaps those in the Northeast aren't as into college as much as pro football, but I wouldn't use such a blanket statement that "our Yankee friends prefer NFL".

    I really don't consider the Midwest Yankees, but duly noted.:D

    I don't consider myself a Yankee either, but Gator probably does. :D

    Let me rephrase that, all midwesterners aren't Yankees.
