    You are 100% correct on your assumption. College football definitely provides a better atmosphere for a game. Most college towns are not in big cities and Football is king. The unique thing about American football, especially College Football, is that it is typically always on the weekend and you only have 6-7 home games. So each home game is an event. You have people grilling out home made food, you have the theater of the Marching band, and you have the charm of each university which is always full of students. So even if you dont like sports, a lot of people attend the festivities for excitement that surrounds the weekend. American Football starts the school year, and is a ingrained into American culture via High School and College football.

    The Army/Navy game is between the Naval Academy(Annapolis) and the Army Academy (West Point). This is one of the oldest rivalries in football). The Academies are where Officers are trained and recieve a college education. Both if them are engineering schools. To get admission you must be recommended by a Congressmen or Senator of your state and have excellent grades in highschool. It is not easy to get in.

    "How many people are there???? " - Its official capacity is 107,601, but it has hosted crowds in excess of 115,000. So... somewhere around there. It is listed as the 3rd largest stadium in the World, behind a North Korean stadium (who I don't trust to count bullets, let alone seats) and a Cricket Stadium in India. In fact, of the 12 largest stadiums in the World, 9 of them belong to College Football teams.

    Florida State University are the Seminoles, and the school has official sanction of the Florida Seminole Nation to use the name Seminoles and have "Chief Osceola" (whose outfit is authentic and provided by the Nation) as their mascot. The arm movement you see (right arm moving downward in a slicing motion) is known as the tomahawk chop. Their biggest rivals are the University of Florida Gators (as in alligators) whose stadium is known as the "Swamp" and you would see us using both arms to clap our hands together in a downward/upward motion to simulant the chomping of an alligator's jaws. Then you have tailgating which involves people arriving in the parking lot usually at least 4 hours before the game, pulling out grills, fryers, TVs, chairs & tables, banners etc to drink, party, cook/grill/bbq, and eat prior to going in the stadium to see the game. The NFL drafts (picks) players from the college teams following the final game of their senior year (or junior if they get a hardship exemption).

      I recently read more about this on the FSU site, and am impressed. The whole 'native American mascot' matter has been a problem in recent decades, and the FSU Seminoles should be rightly proud of how they have embraced the issue head-on in a respectful manner that is approved by the first peoples as well as the fans.
      For people in other countries: it is called "tailgating" because food is served from the backs of pickup trucks (and other vehicles like station wagons, in an earlier age) that has a rear door or gate hinged at the bottom, the tailgate, that opens down flat and so can act as a convenient food table.

    College sports is big because, as you said, some states/areas don't have pro teams (not just football). Also, the USA is so huge you might have to drive 5 hours one way (or 10 if it's Texas) to get to a pro game. Many of the people attending games went to those universities and there is a lot of pride for them. You see that support in attendance at games. The college stadiums are generally larger than the NFL stadiums. The largest I believe is Michigan University which generally holds 108k but they have gotten 115k in there. Probably for concerts rather than games, but I think that was the one you commented it must be more than 100k.

    • @majkus
      @majkus 7 месяцев назад +3

      My father (more of a football fan than I) said that even on television, he enjoyed watching the college game more. I think it was partly because the college players make more mistakes, for a more exciting game. For my part, the whole 'school spirit' environment makes it more dramatic.

    The Eagle flying in is the original Eagle flight. Everyone else is copying what Auburn does but they also loan out the Eagles for other events like pro football and the Salt Lake City Olympics.
    Auburn is a vet school and has an aviary department that cares for injured birds and nurses back to health. Some of the eagles can’t survive in the wild so they become the War Eagles. They usually have 3 or 4 different ones. Nova was the best tho.
    I’ve seen it up close and that is a bird of prey with a 9ft wingspan. Little more awe inspiring than the video shows.

    The Nebraska one is the last walk out of Tom Osborne, a storied Cornhusker coach who led that team to a 255-49-3 record from from 1969 to 1997. He is well-loved and well-known in the US, at least in football circles.

    10:44 the man in the red coat is Tom Osborne (the greatest head coach in Nebraska history), and the man in the grey was the head coach of the huskers at the time of that game.
    The Nebraska huskers are known for having one of the best dynasties in college football history. In the 90’s, they won the national championship 3 times under Tom Osborne.
    One tradition of Husker Nation is the tunnel walk. Before every home game, they enter the field through a tunnel walk to the song “Sirius” by the Allen Parsons Project. This was Tom Osbornes last tunnel walk before he retired.

      Also, this game was the last game during the time that Tom Osborne served as athletic director. A new athletic director took over the following year.
      The broadcaster talking about how Coach Osborne is not wearing a suit is Matt Davison, who was a freshman player during Tom Osborne’s last year coaching (1997).

    Crowd yells and cheers from a rooting section, led by cheerleaders and yell leaders is a tradition that goes back more than a hundred years, and is very much a college (and high school) activity more than an NFL thing. There are NFL cheerleaders (the best known are the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders), but they do not lead crowd yells the way school yell leaders do. And also, remember that the team mascots (and particular cheers and yells) are _school_ mascots, and are at basketball, baseball, and other sporting events to cheer the teams on, so there is nothing quite like them in the professional sports.

    I'm not sure if college football is more popular than NFL or not. It's pretty close. It depends on where you are in the country. If you are in the South, college football is by far the favorite. NFL is more popular in the Northeast. In most of the mountain states and plains near where I live, it's college by a long shot. There aren't any pro teams in the state and there is one full university. I live 2 hours away from there and I still go to half of the home games every year. I used to go all the time when I attended there because I was on campus. It's also good to note that a college football regular season is 12 games long meaning 6 home and 6 away sometimes you'll get 7 home games but it's usually 6. So this sort of entrance spectacle happens every weekend at home. It can certainly be intimidating for visiting teams. Again, I'm not sure if NFL or College is more popular overall but the culture around College is better in my opinion

  • @revgurley
    @revgurley 7 месяцев назад +3

    If you get a chance to visit the US, go to a big college in the Southeast US rivalry football game. Football happens in the fall through early New Years. There's nothing more ingrained in the South as football sports, especially football and basketball (my husband went to a big basketball college, so he takes off work every spring to watch "March Madness" - the "Finals" of college basketball). But between the tailgaiting (drinking/cooking/eating before the game out the back of your car/truck), flyovers of some of the US's best planes, the atmosphere of the fans, and the grit and determination of the players! I'd give you some universities to check out, but the best games really do vary by year. This year, I'd love to see University of Georgia vs The Ohio State University. But in past years, the rivalry of Alabama vs Auburn has been a go-to game for the entire experience.
    The first one you saw was Florida State University, who has a Native American Seminole as its mascot. They often run a "Seminole" on a horse to throw a flaming spear into the ground just before the game starts. The crowd was doing the "Tomahawk Chop" (also used by the Atlanta Braves baseball team). The trees were covered in toilet paper (it's called "TPing" here). Another school tradition at Auburn, Alabama. Started MANY years ago when a local businessman would let student fling ticker-tape over the trees if the team won an away game (no internet back then!). Changed to toilet paper over time.
    At 8:05, they show Georgia Tech (aka The Georgia Institute of Technology), and their "Wramblin' Wreck" (meaning an old, worn-out, dirty car). They sing "I'm a wramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech..." as the "wreck" (which is now very pretty, in my opinion) is driven onto the field. This has been a tradition for a hundred years. Some university traditions are even older, depending when the school was founded. And I've always wondered if the US is the only country to have its military play each other in sport? Granted, these are college-aged kids, not formal soldiers/shipmen yet. Still cool that the guys on the field would do anything to win. But they would also die for you in combat. And yes, those are the coaches. In many US states, the highest paid state employee is the main university football coach. Technically, he works for the state, since he works for the public University. More than the governor, even.

    @HRConsultant_Jeff 7 месяцев назад +4

    There is approximately 858 colleges in the US with a football team so the reason College is more popular is most likely because almost everyone lives near at least a couple of local college teams to support and their kids, grandkids or neighbors go to or went to that college. The NFL is only 32 teams and there are several areas of the country that are hundreds of miles away from a pro team so the connection is less.

    It's Florida vs Florida State. It's a major rivalry; they're playing each other this upcoming Saturday at 7 PM Eastern.
    College Football is the original, High School Football is next, and the NFL is the youngest of the 3. High School plays on Friday, College mostly on Saturday, and NFL plays on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday. On a Saturday during College Football season you can watch games from around noon to midnight Eastern time with basic cable or a streaming equivalent. The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 was amended in 1966 in a way that helps protect broadcasts of High School and College Football games. NFL cannot have a national broadcast within 75 miles (1 kilometer is about 0.6 miles)
    of any High School or College Football game that's currently being played.
    The military academies all have their own football teams. Air Force, Navy, and Army, have their own teams. Every year they play each other. Those teams play a full D1 FBS schedule. 2022's Army Navy highlights may be worth watching, since it was a close, albeit low scoring game. The students that gradute from there will be officers in the armed forces.

    Give 'em hell Alabama!" (Insert name of school Alabama beats where I have put Auburn - Alabama is our cross-state rival) The Yellowhammer is the State bird of Alabama. Then at 7:34 is the Rolling of Toomer's Corner which is the "after a win" tradition at my Alma Mater, Auburn University. I have been to so many of the Rollings at Toomer's Corner in my lifetime! The photo of just a treetop really was not a good representation of the tradition. Wonderful atmosphere.

    College football is at least as popular as NFL football in the US. There are many reasons, but one of the reasons is honestly proximity. The US big. Really really big. There are 32 NFL teams, mostly located in large markets and cities in the US. That means, quite a few people in this country would have to drive more than half a day to get to see any sort of NFL football game. Whole, gigantic states (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska... and many more) do not have a professional football team anywhere near them. Whereas, almost all Colleges and Universities have some sort of football team. They may not be in the SEC or ACC, but they do have a football team. If you're wanting to spend a Saturday watching a football game live, Colleges are way easier and way cheaper to get to. Add to that alumni pride and city pride for their local College football team, and you get popularity.
    I live in a small town a couple of hours outside the nearest city. I have no children that attend the local Elementary or High School. Our town is so small we play in an 8-man football league. But when the Friday Night Lights (High School football on Friday, College football on Saturday, NFL on Sunday) go up during football season, you will see this entire town empty out for the games, including me. .... to go watch a bunch of 16-year-olds play football.. really.

    Hard to say which is more popular overall, but in my family they pay a lot more attention to college football than pros. Theres a lot more college teams than pro teams. My state has 2 pro teams which given the size of the state meant i was 2+ hours away from both of them. Theres a huge college team 20 min from where i grew up so i feel a stronger connection to them. Ppl who grew up/live close to a pro team prob pay more attention to that team and ppl who grew up close to a big college probably tend to follow that more.
    But also ppl here just love football and by watching both pro and college you can watch football like most days of the week. Even high school games are big among students and in certain communities. “Foodball Friday night” was a big part of my hs experience, in some places the whole community gets involved in supporting the hs team.

The Army vs. Navy game is the two academies (universities) for those two military services. The Buffalo is for the Colorado team; it's their mascot. The covered wagon is Oklahoma.

    If you come to watch a college football game next year highly recommend coming to Lubbock to watch Texas Tech play. Lubbock isn’t the prettiest but the campus is beautiful with a great stadium environment (especially with the lights now) and a whole lot of awesome traditions. Such as throwing tortillas on every kick off

    Most College football games are this way. particularly in the SEC conference. The bird was a team mascot. Yes most
    College game attendance is 90+ thousand people. That's every weekend. The tailgating is unbelievable and the BBQ
    at a tailgate is wonderful. Those are Military Schools . Yep many schools are near water. No, they are Coachs and they make big dollars, high 6 figures

    Also, there is a video about the 2007 season and "Is it the best season in CFB History?"

    Personally, I think one huge difference between the college and NFL games are the school bands. Huge, showy marching bands made up of students add an exciting musical soundtrack to the college game experience. “The Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band” (400 strong!) of Texas A&M and “The Best Damn Band in the Land” of The Ohio State University are two favorites. However, every band (and cheer team) adds to the color-coordinated pageantry of college football.

    so i feel the reason that college is much better than the nfl is because the community that surrounds the college have a sense of pride when their team plays and just overall care more, also i personally enjoy watching CF more than NFL because the players are trying to get into the league so they’re going to be playing for much more than just a paycheck; they’re putting their hearts and souls on the line

    Depending on your state you might not have a professional sports team so most likely you will support a college team. But people that attend college feel more love for their college because sometimes a professional team can move to another city and the college you went to will always be there. Many famous people that went to a college sometimes give money to the college so they get better facilities and in return they get those facilities named after them. Like Phil Knight, hes the owner of Nike and he went Oregon University, they have the best Nike gear and uniforms and their locker room and facilities are some of the best in the country. There's a couple of videos of tours of the Oregon and Alabama facilities that show how insane they are. College football is a BIG deal and people are proud of ther colleges so they support them no matter what above their professional teams sometimes.

    College football definitely has more tradition and culture around it then the NFL. A big reason is that most of a team's fans actually went to that University, and a few of them may have even played on the team, so they're more invested than just rooting for the team in their city. Plus, the school will always be there, an NFL team is liable to move to another city if the owner feels he can make more money somewhere else.
    There's always a few exceptions though. The Green Bay Packers are the only American major league sports team owned by their fans, so they're much more invested in the team than most fans. And the Pittsburgh Steelers are basically a religion in that city, they started to win right when the steel industry died and killed half the jobs there, so the team was all anyone had to look forward to.

    99% of players in the NFL came out of the college football system. Watch highlights of the NFL Combine's, held every year, which is for graduating college players. At the combine these young men are put through a series of physical and mental exam's: running, throwing, jumping, weight lifting etc. so that professional scouts can gauge the capabilities of each player for the upcoming yearly drafts.
