there is fun watching college football, no doubt, college bb, hell yeah
though i've noticed here there is not much of school pride concept and all.
canadians just don't really have it as much, or maybe i haven't witnessed it.
it's probably on the same private school narrow circle level.
i HAVE school pride. but maybe b/c at the school i went to it was quite developed.
we had other schools come in and play them and it was like pretty intense.
it was fun. something along catcher in the rye thing where he, though cynical about the whole thing, skips the football game in the beginning of the book.
we also went to visit other schools and it didn't matter if we won or lost,
memories are there for the rest of the life as well as the feelings.
anyway, whoever said it in this topic of pride, future and all is totally right.
the professionals got their contracts, whereas these kids are securing theirs.

Yep theyd rather make more money in advertising on a college football game than a hockey game. Boy are they dumb! The olympics? Its not their fault NBC shells out a ton to get that. And ESPN would only show the olympics if ABC had the rights. They should show the olympics without having their rights though.
Frankly, ESPN is showing 16 of 20 games. I'm happy with that. They could be real hockey haters and show 0. Guess its impossible to please some people though.
Dont rip on our traditions of college sports when you guys have curling. I know I'd rather watch a college football game than shuffleboard on ice.
