boring football?

I find myself enjoying college football more and more recently. Professional football just seems to take much longer. I don't know if it has to do with the style of game that is played in college or if the pros just take their time while they play.

Maybe it is the atmosphere. College stadiums are loud from kickoff to the end of the game. If the home team is winning, the place is rocking, but if the team is losing there are moments of silence followed by raucous emotional cheering trying to rally the team. That has to be it. If a home team in the NFL is losing, the stadium is just dead. Pins get dropped all over the place and you can hear each one.

I also think that money takes a lot of real passion out of the players. They no longer play 'for love of the game'. They play for the paycheck. Any other answer is bullshit. The college kids play for pride. All of the rivalries between schools are great, and it isn't just one team that they have a rivalry with. Take the University of Michigan for example. They have three big rivalries: Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State. It is about history.
