Just curious what type of fans we have out there. You all know that you watch one more then the other.
-
I really like college because I feel they really put their heart into it. I love watching the NCAA Basketball Tourney. I wish they would do something similar for college football, but with the top 16 teams, though the top 32 teams could make it really interesting.

I don't watch a lot of basketball, but when I do it is usually NCAA. Our local NCAA team the UNM Lobos does ok most of the time. They have their moments, just like all the others.
Closest thing we have to pro is an NBA-D league team. The Albuquerque Thunderbirds. They are the defending champs this year. The coach is a former UNM star and former LA Lakers player Michael Cooper.

Sunday was awesome. I'm a UT alumnus/diehard horn fan, and first Vince rips the hearts out of Texans fans in overtime. Then I went to UT-LSU with my best friend, where Texas won on a 3 by AJ Abrams in overtime 76-75.
Hard to get any better than that as a sports fan. Well, the national title over USC was nice ;D.

I like the horns by default. They’re in synch my rivals OU and Texas A&M. >:( God it hurts to even write those names.

Imagine how I felt the friday after thanksgiving. Both of them benefitted from us losing.

I can't really vote on this... I like both! And a lot of it depends on the sport also... Football is equal between Da Bears and Michigan. Basketball is the Pistons, but no college (But I don't watch really until the playoffs). Hockey is the Red Wings, but no college teams. Baseball is Da Cubbies, no college teams. I do like to watch lacrosse, but not a lot of pro leagues, so I watch college (and whoever's playing).

I like college sports across the board better then professional. I think college athletes play with more heart, and college wins mean a lot more. Everything rotates so quickly on college level, with new talent coming in every year and knowing that they can’t stay for more then 4.
Go Pokes!

College sports are way better in my opinion. i do like watching the BRAVES. the pres. of the company i work for has a son that is in the cleveland indians organization. waiting for him to get called up to the majors. that would be cool, cause he is a good friend. really only watch pro sports if there is no college games i am into. but i do love the BRAVES. and yes i do HATE the yankees. sorry guys it was bred into me. i got into college softball last season. man those girls get fierce. of course any LSU sports on tv and i will watch. can't wait to see the bayou bengals beat up on those little leprechauns in the sugar bowl. would have preferred seeing them beat up on michigan in the rose, but you take what they give you.

I prefer the Pros, iam a hardcore Laker fan (NBA), Cardinals fan (MLB), Red Wings (NHL), and Buccaneers (NFL)
-
Watch more college ball by far. Rarely miss a Notre Dame or Michigan game, definitely prefer college hoops. But am a die hard Bears fan too, and catch rugby matches whenever I can.
-
I like pros better. I basically refuse to get into college football until they get a playoff system. The nba has improved a lot in the last 5 years, thanks to the international influence. The game is changing, its higher scoring and more exciting to watch. More team play, not one on one. Teams like the phoenix suns are the future.
-
I enjoy the college level most for football and basketball. More enthusiasm at that level and more action. In baseball, the minor league teams are much more fun to watch (and cheaper!).
The exception to that rule is when my Cleveland teams are playing. Of course my Cav's are in the spotlight playing for the NBA finals.
-
NCAA hands down and sooooo much better than the pros. luv college sports especially college football and college basketball. they play w/ soooo much more passion and it even gets personal. however i still watch pro ball as well but u can't beat college sports.

Definitely college for me. I went to a Big 12 school (well actually I'm old, so it was the Big 8 at the time). There's nothing like going to a football or basketball game with a bunch of crazy college-age fans. I do like pro's too, but with having little free time these days, I plan it around NCAA games.

For the most part, I love college sports. They're much more interesting in my opinion. I love college basketball season and we in Kentucky take our basketball pretty seriously. This state goes nuts every March and I love every minute of it. I've also been a big Notre Dame/Tennessee football fan for a long time also. And I can always watch the Lady Vols (Tennessee) - they rock.
As far as pro sports, since Jordan retired, the NBA just doesn't appeal to me as much anymore, though I do watch the Finals. I also enjoy watching my Titans in the NFL, but other than them, I usually just watch the playoffs and of course the Super Bowl.
MLB? Yep, big fan of the BRAVES (good choice Paul) and watch almost every game but also like Paul, I can't stand the Yankees :P
