I'm not going the uninformed "It's just gay porn" route. I understand what they're doing and respect them as athletes. But from a spectator's point of view, it's boring as hell to watch. ...and looks like gay porn.
YoloinOhio Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Urban has to be thinking this is fantastic... Keep going down so the team feels like an underdog? @RJinVegas: Effect of #OhioState suspensions: OSU was -12.5 vs Virginia Tech this morning; now down to -10 (via Pinnacle)

This can't be Urban's doing. He hates suspending players.
LeGOATski Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 NFL, but increasingly NCAA. I just love the Bills too much.

And if you got suspended for missing classes and smoking week, I would have missed my entire college career. Edited July 30, 2015 by C.Biscuit97

I didn't follow Florida much when he was there, so not sure. He really loves Harvin though. Actually brought him up at big 10 media day today. Said he is the most dynamic athlete he's ever had.

The whole tattoo thing was a joke. And it's harder to suspend dynamic players. Even if they beat up a coach.

He lied to the NCAA and they hammered him for it. He didn't want to suspend his players for the Sugar Bowl, who he covered for. He was afraid he couldn't beat the SEC without them. Urban doesn't really have that fear, for better or for worse. He always thinks he has the best players, all the way down the bench. The rule was stupid, but the players were too. Tress didn't run a very tight ship. Though I love the guy. Edited July 30, 2015 by YoloinOhio

H2o Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I say I like both equally. Nothing like watching a Notre Dame Fighting Irish game on a Saturday..... well..... until I get to watch a Buffalo Bills game on a Sunday.
jimmy10 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 NFL. College football just confuses the hell out of me. Plus the talent gap is so obvious.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 It's just not even close. The speed and talent on display at the elite level makes college football seem like watching traffic on I95 versus Indy car racing. The difference is incredible

The speed and talent on display at the elite level makes college football seem like watching traffic on I95 versus Indy car racing. The difference is incredibleIt's like that in all sports. It's even worse in basketball. The level of talent between gap between the YMCA & D1 is as close as the gap between D1 & the NBA. The "one and done" has a lot to do with it. With that being said I would still rather watch a big college game than a big NFL game (obviously excluding the Bills).
AJ1 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 If the NFL is a 100; NCAA is a 12. I loathe college football.
