The most popular sport in America is football. Pro football has no minor league. College ball is that minor league. It helps too it has the tailgating, traditions, alumni, etc.

This pretty much nails it.

I love college baseball. I just love the style of play.

I could never get into college baseball as much. Not enough throwback unis.

HA. The Huskers have some sweet ones but don't dust them off too much.

Hit a CWS game sometime.

Doesn't have to. He falls under the New England College football fandom exception. They're allowed to pick a team, provided it stays the same.

I've been to plenty of CWS games. Always a good time. Always a sun burn.

As a Lions fans there have been MANY times I have wanted to jump ship. I have a ride or die mentality though.

I more or less don't have any NFL loyalties anymore. I'd probably pick the Cowboys or Cards if I had to, but I'm more just a fan of the game in general. I think that applies to most sports with me, with the exception of the NBA.

I really have no allegiance to any pro sports team outside of the NBA (and even then I kind of cheer for a bunch of teams). It is much more enjoyable to watch the good teams/players rather than watching a favorite team suck. Very little stress.

I was an avid FSU fan in my youth, so that was a pretty crappy day.

The first full football game I recall actually paying attention to was the '94 Orange Bowl between Nebraska and FSU. Crazy to think Nebraska was one missed field goal away from winning it all 4 out of 5 years.
