    Which one do you prefer? I actually am pretty neutral on this, but I would have to say a little goes to pros instead.

    I meant it to be:

    -Basketball
    -Football
    -the main sports of college
    ...you guys?

    I like the College games, because they always seem to be a little more unpredictable. New players each year.

    Sorry guys, I meant it to be overall.

    Basketball and football because they are the main sports of college. So, I hope that does not change your answer though :D

    I agree with you in that aspect.

    College
    • College always changes
    • College is not for money
    • College has stricter rules because they are still students

    Pros
    • Players are very serious
    • A lot of other action off the field
    • Too tired to list more...

    I watch pros. Teams are more consistent and its always fun to see how a trade will affect team dynamics. The games are also better played out

    That is quite true, but most teams are afraid of those big trades. I think it is kind of an advantage if you can trade players, too.

    *adds to good stuff about pros tomorrow*

    college, the athletes actually have something to play for..

    Pros, win or lose, they still get a sh*t load of money.

    I agree, in college, every player is going all out, all the time. In pros you get a lot of people whining about not being paid enough, etc.

    I love both pro and college football. They're both incredibly fun to watch

    Basketball is a different story though...I love me some March Madness with college basketball...but the pros it just doesn't seem like they really care. I mean one guy on the team scores like 90% of the points and stuff...its just bleh to watch :nope:

    I'd have to agree in some cases. It really has to do with who is playing who.

    That's pretty true, but I never get a chance to really follow on college so it's hard to like it :D.

    But the NBA can get pretty interesting...to me.

    I'm terrible in sports so I choose college, take some classes, get a good job, live happily ever after.

    Well, I guess you could take it that way, but I was kinda meaning which one you prefer to watch...sorry, maybe I should clear it up even further or did I?

    The only professional sport I can really tolerate watching is the NFL. I used to be all up in the NFL before I reached college but after witnessing how much harder the collegiate athletes compete to get to the professional level, it makes the pros look lazy.

    Lol, pros get their money, win or lose. But, some pros play hard for increase in salary. I'm kinda annoyed by how the NFL always have players being arrested for all this crap. College, they have more control over their players because they are still like learning. I used to like NFL a lot, but the teams are sucky now and people don't try, especially recently.
