Why do people watch college football?

[Chaotic42]

It's just a fun thing to do. I can't really explain why, it just is.

if you went to a school with a decent team, you would understand.

yep, lots of people who are now in other states went to school somewhere, chances are somebody in your family went to college and naturally you root for that team (unless you dont like that particular family member)

College football is so much more passionate than professional ball. You have all sorts of rivalries among different teams. Each and every game matters; if you lose even a single game, your whole season can be screwed. The players play like they actually care if they win or lose. There is also the rare occassion that you will personally know some of the players, or that at the very least some of the players might be from your hometown or your general area.

I second that

Eh, I like my football like I like my sex -- expensive and with professionals. 😛
