5 Things College Football Does Better Than The NFL

The pros aren't better at everything.

A common misconception around collegiate and professional sports is that the higher level is always superior in every facet. Sure only the best of the best are allowed into the NFL and only the elite are able to stay on rosters. But the league has it's fair share unimpressive areas where college football excels in.

College Football Coaches have a ton of Personality

There are hundreds of college football teams across the country and every coach is completely different. There are still some stern and serious football guys who can roast some journalists, but then there are guys like Mike Leach who are straight weirdos and I love it.

Every State has Multiple Teams

I bet there are tons of people across the country who are forced to root for an NFL team hundreds of miles away because their state can't have a team. But they can have a college football team to hang their hats.

New Players/Storylines Every Year

When the same NFL players stick around for 10-15 years the storyline can get stale to some. But in college, there is always the feeling of the unknown and what team will have the next break out star.

The Fans have Way More Passion

If you've ever been to a college football game you'd know. For most states college football is all they have to cheer for, not to mention the drunk student factor.

The College Football Playoff Debates

The topic lasts for months and everybody has a different take on it. Can a two-loss team be in? Who had a better resume? When will Notre Dame join a conference already? In the pros, all you need to do is win 9-11 games and you're guaranteed to be in. Boring...

So take into consideration that not everything is bigger and better in the NFL. Give College football a chance and I guarantee you will still be hooked on this sport!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2004
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
