I don't remember seeing a College Football thread either... are there not enough College Sports Fans to merit it's own thread(s)?

We had a NCAA Football thread but it wasnt very active this year. Usually the basketball thread doesnt get up and running until March Madness.

That's like fire to a lot of folks ears but grew up watching the cats. I already gathered a lot of autographs for my son to have when he gets old enough as well as pictures of him with the players etc. I also heavily follow Eastern Kentucky University since I went to college there and the school is about half a mile from my home.

I don't get why so many people hate on Kentucky... Sure Callipari has had some allegations, 1 & Done recruits blah, blah. He's still a better teacher then Coach K & Bill Self. They're doing the same thing & get a pass. Should be interesting too see what seed Kentucky gets, they have the talent to make a DEEP tourney run. Although the Harrison twins have been pretty disappointing, I love Randel's motor, kid put his team on his back and played like a grown man against MSU & James Young is smooth (Should of stayed in state & went to a Michigan School)

Nothing is consistent. They remind me a lot of the 2011 team. That team lost it's fair share but clicked at the right time and went to the Final Four.

Well, since I go to Syracuse, yes. It's been a great year so far and I think the team has what it takes to go the whole way this year. I'm sure we won't be going undefeated in the regular season or anything especially with three tough away games against Virginia, Duke, and Pittsburgh coming up, but on a neutral court I think Cuse is as good as anyone. Tyler Ennis and CJ Fair have both been playing really well I will be attending the Georgia Tech game on March 3rd, and it's my first basketball game since joining school so I'm pretty excited for that.

I love college basketball. I hate the NBA, & that's a whole another story, so this is how I get my basketball fix. I went to a college that had no sports teams, so if my allegiance had to go with one team, it would be Illinois, because all through childhood my dad took me to games. Unfortunately they really haven't been good since the 04-05 season. But when it comes to CB, I'm just all for good games.

The Tanking, monopolization of premier talent/ larger market teams, effort, money & predictability make it much less fun to watch.

Without going on a giant rant, my biggest issue is one aspect that you mentioned, in effort. College kids are playing for pride & bragging rights, & it shows in their efforts. In the NBA, I think majority of players get comfortable & don't push their efforts nearly as hard as they could & should.

Big UConn fan.
Was really disappointed to see the Big East dissolve. The Big East tournament was one of my favorite weeks of the year.

I am more of an NBA guy. But, I go to the occasional Georgia game. They rarely give anyone much reason to be excited. Georgia Tech either lately. Though watching the team that had Mark Price and John Salley, then later the Kenny Anderson, Brian Oliver, Dennis Scott was fun back in the day.
