Theres no doubt that football has long supplanted baseball as Americas favorite game, but here in SEC country, its the only game. After a seemingly forever offseason following recruiting, coaching hires and practices, analyzing future matchups, and dreaming of glory for your State, er, team, the real deal is FINALLY here.
Thats right, Im talking about COLLEGE football, of course. Oh, the NFL will always have plenty of fans, but lately what with all the protesting, sitting and knee-taking and politically-correct posturing and the NFLs refusal to do anything about it those fans are becoming fewer by the minute.
Since when did it become a source of shame to be an American? Since when did it become the in thing to mock the service and sacrifice of those who fought and died for our country.
On the other hand, theres college football, and at least for those of us who were fortunate enough to attend the EPIC, record-breaking, 156,990 strong Battle at Bristol last Saturday night, this sport and its organizers, participants and fans remain as patriotic as ever.
Radio financial guru Dave Ramsey did the opening invocation and, controversial as it is these days, he didnt forget to pray in Jesus name.

>>Football and Basketball are no longer American games to me. Both leagues are overrun with thugs, malcontents, criminals and druggies. Turn on any game and all you see are heavily tattooed, creepy looking lowlifes on the field or court. Plus these people have no appreciation for how blessed they are.<<
There’s a passage somewhere in the Bible where it says that no Canaanites will be allowed inside the Millenial temple.***Shame on God (/s) that’s not very politically correct.**** I think that God’s injunction probably would extend to those mentioned above.
NFL is not getting two cents of our money here anymore.
To Hell with NFL
and besides, there are some college games that are frankly a lot more fun to watch
clarification: we are not patronizing NFL because the owners did nothing serious to object to the insulting player conduct of recent weeks
TO HELL with NFL!
(hey, that rhymes too!) smile smile
they couldn’t shutdown football with the ‘its so violent’ narrative... so now they’re pushing anti-Americanism
and it’ll work.
0bama and crew continue to destroy anything and everything one would associate with the stereotypical 1950s America.
screw them.
College is where the anti Americanism is spawned. Don’t believe a word of this.
I’m not a college football fan. But I do watch my High School team when I get a chance.
GO BUCKEYES!!!!! Beat Oklahoma!
An associate of mine was at the Bristol game. He said he used his binoculars to look at the Jumbotron. I don’t think he was kidding.
While SEC fans are still great, the NCAA and the ACC are busy doubling down on PC by yanking tournaments from NC.
If this guy is suggesting that colleges are 'pro-American'? He is deluded. The super majority of colleges are anything but. They are a bastion of 'diversity' and anti-white & anti-Western philosophies.
No nfl for me so far this season. College football will suffice for now.
NFL soon to be NBA.
Such a simple fix.
Commissioner orders all media to NOT view any such protests or “statements” with the same disdain for when a fan is running on to the field.
No coverage, no care and it’ll whither on the vine an appropriate death.
This was the biggest football game in the history of the sport......
Or,, it was the biggest football game in the history of the sport
Folks I know didn’t get home till 2:30 Sunday morning. The crowd, and it was truly a crowd, was just plain awesome.
Being neither a vols or Hokie fan, I stayed home. I spoke last evening with a rabid hokie fan who was up late and then took some scouts on a ten mile AT hike on Sunday
Heck it is already happening in some HSs around the country. Albeit the Detroit type
Has the author been paying attention? The NCAA has basically declared war on the state of North Carolina for defending single-gender bathrooms.
To that end, I would go out on Saturday and support your local community college or smaller college football teams. The small game is just as if not more enjoyable on a crisp autumn day and means a lot to the students out there to have fans rooting for them.
Yep! Why spend 3 plus hours of rare free time watching overpayed criminals play a child’s game. Would rather spend the time cleaning my AR or reading a book.
As an SEC fan, I will admit that Mizzery and Vandy should both be kicked out as both are leftist hell holes.
What about the NCAA and ACC. Both have pulled their championship games out of North Carolina because NC passed a law requiring men to use the men's room.
I loved college football and baseball, especially my lsu tigers. After what the NCAA just did to north Carolina through im not watching any ncaa sports. I’m still really bummed out about it.
