NewEra Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 My betting app. Lots of great props! Starting with Tevin Coleman at +6500 to win mvp. I know he probability won’t win but the value is too great to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a college basketball fan until I really started watching the NBA. It is like watching the Batavia Muckdogs instead of the Yankees. I mean I get it if you live in Batavia but otherwise I have a hard time wrapping my head around anyone that prefers the Muckdogs. I don’t view college football like that but college basketball is ABSOLUTELY like that. It’s really a bad game at this point. The best players are all 1 and done. In some cases they don’t even go to college for a year; they play internationally. The quality of play is just not any good. The NBA is infinitely more interesting (and it didn’t used to be).

I think it is team driven vs player driven in CBB so if you follow a team you watch and if not, you don’t. With CFB I think people who aren’t fans will watch games that are good matchups or to scout players for the next level even if they aren’t fans of those teams. I don’t think that happens much with CBB except in rare cases like last year with Zion. For many people CBB starts in March. I watch every single Ohio state b-ball game (as tortuous as it is) but rarely watch any other team. With the nba I will watch pretty much any game because it is so player/star driven Edited January 26, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I watched the NHL skills competition Friday night and the NHL all star game last night...both were meh. I think the big post football season transition move for me was getting out to the driving range yesterday and working off the rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not trying to be Siskel and Ebert, but my girlfriend loves movies, so we went to that War movie that was a true story. It is heartbreaking, but excellent. Yes, was a little misty a couple of times. This soldier was so brave. Anyway, watch8ng the Prow Bowl is like getting you’re appendix taken out without anesthetic.

Because the NBA is an insufferably boring parade of watching guys sleepwalk through an endless regular season, with most of them standing around for most of the game while the 2 or 3 stars attempt dozens of 3 point shots. The college game is based on ball movement and team defense and has guys who actually care about winning. Personally I never understood the mentality that sports can only be enjoyed if you are watching the most professionally accomplished athletes. I guess high school and almost all college sports are completely lost on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of college basketball, I don’t need to see a bunch of guys shooting 25% from 3. No team is very good or interesting. March Madness is fun because of the upsets and gambling but it isn’t a well played game. The beauty of basketball is the elite level of skill and athleticism. That holds true more so than any other sport besides for maybe soccer. Watching the Premier League is way more interesting than MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But......if I apply your basketball logic, 98% of the college football players suck compared to the NFL so why bother? Yes, it's hard to beat the thrill of watching undefended guys essentially having a 3 point shooting contest and watching a handful of super teams pound overmatched opponents by 30 night after night. It's not hard to understand why the NBA now markets itself and its stars as though it was a Lifetime movie. It's more interesting for fans to argue about Durant's latest twitter than to actually discuss the game. Or ask why the stars that you tune in to see are increasingly spending a third of each game on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or ask why the stars that you tune in to see are increasingly spending a third of each game on the bench. That is not applying my logic. I said that basketball and soccer are 2 sports way better at the highest level. They are based on skill and athleticism. Football is more about strategy, matchups, style, etc... I prefer the openness of college football to the NFL. Not to mention, there are teams and players that are interesting. If you want to talk about “super teams” though you must despise college football. There are only 4 to 5 out of 100 and something teams with a chance. They are the same 4 to 5 every year. I guess that we just vehemently disagree. I used to be a much bigger college basketball fan until I started watching more NBA. It isn’t even close for me at this point. I can watch any NBA game but can barely watch the Final Four. The gap between the play in college and the NBA is bigger than it has ever been (and widening). There just isn’t talent at the NCAA level like there was. When they eliminate the year of school needed it’s going to continue to get worse.

transplantbillsfan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I get very sad when the football season is over. I know they say January & February is the most depressing time of year for people overall because of the Holiday season just ending. I think it's because Football season comes to an often halting and heartbreaking end for all NFL fans, save those of one more team. Less than 7 months and counting til we get a taste of it again with the preseason... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I am a Bills fan I live in Jets/Giants territory. I am about 20 minutes from MetLife. The XFL team that will play here is the NY Guardians. If this sucks then I still have my Islanders who are in the playoff race and the Yanks start soon. I agree with you I hate the long offseason that the NFL has.
