10 Worst Sports Talk Debates

College football has horrible pacing, one-dimensional offenses, often wretched defenses and with the exception of a few teams, very thin rosters, talent wise.

College football games do have a more fun atmosphere, and often better crowds, but the quality of the game doesn’t compare.

College football can have 4-5 gems a week in terms of exciting games, mostly because they have 50-60 games a week.

For every 45-42 classic, there are three or four 66-0 USC victories or Florida beating up Generic U to get an easy victory.

Fans may have more of a connection to college football because they went to a school or they don’t have an NFL team in their city, which can make Saturdays more meaningful. It doesn’t make it better.

4. College Football is great because every game in the regular season matters.

Yes, ask Utah if every game matters. Ask Texas the same question. Two years ago, Ohio State lost their last game at home, and LSU lost their last regular season game at home, and they both played for the national title.

The Championship system is a scam, and titles are determined by votes and computer and when teams lose and how much teams run up the score.

Oklahoma only made the title game last year because they ran up the score on every team to gain points. Every game doesn’t matter; in fact certain important games don’t matter at all.

Texas beats Oklahoma by 10 points on a neutral field, in the end that game meant nothing.

Florida lost at home, but they did it early enough in the season to not matter. College football fans should keep telling themselves that the sport is great because every game is important. Just like the South should have won the Civil War after all.

3. Did you see the ESPYs?

No, no we didn’t. The ESPYs had one poignant moment 16 years ago, and that’s all I remember. The ESPYs is television filler for a network during the summer when they absolutely don’t want to show sports.

Who won best women’s basketball player? I have to know now. I’m not even sure that past ESPY winners remember that they won the award.

The only way I would watch the ESPYs is if I was guaranteed either an embarrassing fall on stage, random nudity, or a drunken tirade by a player or presenter. Pac Man Jones or Artie Lange should host.

2. It’s too expensive for my family to go to a game.

Then don’t go. Enough people are going to games still to justify the high prices. If people stop going, teams will run promotions with discounts, or lower ticket prices.

I bought season tickets to the NBA last year for half price, and the team I bought them for turned out to be pretty good.

If food at the game is too expensive, eat before you go, or in some cases, bring your own food.
