College or Pro
ESPN.com has a debate going on about this so i thought i'd bring it up here. Looks like college is winning on ESPN.com but lets see what people here have to say.
I say college football by far. Every game means something more in college, 1 lose and your season could basically be over. Where else do you get stadiums with 100,000+ people yelling, cheering, and signing along with fight songs. It is a football game but it is also a game of pride for your school. All the traditions and great mascots. IMO, college football trumps NFL big time.

College hands down.
I can watch college football from Thur night until the wee hours of Sunday. I can usually only watch a "big" pro game.

College and it's not even close.
If it weren't for fantasy football, I'm not sure how much I'd even pay attention to pro football other than the Steelers' games...

I think the argument as to what is better is like trying to argue what is the prettier color - green or red. To each their own. But having said that, college ball by a landslide.
I had a crazy Seahawks fans as a poli sci prof and he would always argue why professional was "so much better." He would go off on rants like "I can systematically prove to you why professional football is better!" To which we'd reply, "Great. We care. Obviously you never went to a football school, nor did you grow up in a state that had a big football school, so you wouldn't get it."

College, has way more passion and enthusiasm...on a side note look at this reason Pasquarelli gave for the NFL Being better

12. The Hall
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio, where the game actually originated when a bunch of guys huddled in an old Hupmobile showroom. The college football shrine is in Notre Dame, where a lot of people only think every good idea was hatched.

This would have been a much tougher question pre-free agency. for the last 20 or so years since then, you just don't get to know all the guys on the team and make a connection with them, same with basball.
My vote, college. You might have been a bengal/steeler/brown once, but once a buckeye, always a buckeye.

Anyway, I read if you're related to somebody who has played at Ohio State, they will put you on their practice squad. But that doesn't mean you'll dress for the games though. When I go to Ohio State to major in Sports Journalism, this is what I am going to do. I won't stop there, because I will try to dress and make the team.

College hands down. The only pro games I watch are of the Seahawks and occasionally MNF. I get goosebumps even watching Akron-Bowling Green. Now that's passion!
