Hey man are you Baltic ? Great English and smooth accent.
College football is absolutely special and has passion that NFL does not.
College Football is like a big family reunion. For most of us it was the happiest time of our lives. We always love our Alma Mater.
Of the eleven largest sports stadiums in the entire world, eight are American college football stadiums, all seating over 100k.
It’s goes Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas a&m, LSU, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama
The next largest after that is under 100k with 92k, being Georgia then UCLA with a little over 90k. The rest are under 90k, With Florida, Auburn, Nebraska, Clemson, Wisconsin, Oklahoma being between 89k to 80k
@@marcomandolini86Florida max capacity usually hit in the 90k plus territory
College football is King in America. So many schools fill their stadiums every week, whole communities are all in at every game. The history goes back over 100 years and nothing beats it.
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.
Also college football has been around a lot longer than the NFL.
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.
GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!!!
Go Army beat Navy❤it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"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.
Good old American college tradition. 150+ years is a long time. Blessings of Thanksgiving to all🎉🎉
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.
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.
Honestly never realized why there isnt any indian related team names for indiana lol so wasnt a bad assumption that fsu was indiana
If you want to see a college football game that lives up to the hype, check out the Michigan vs Ohio State game that happened yesterday. Two undefeated teams with a ton of history fighting for a chance to go to the Big Ten championship game. The drama, the crowd pops, and the ending... it was the very best of college football.
This weekend is the Ohio State vs. Michigan game. It's considered the biggest rivalry in sports. There should be well over 100k people there. The Army and Navy teams are the teams from those services colleges.
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.
Amazing 🙌
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).
Here’s the video that played on the video board right before the team walked out onto the field. ruclips.net/video/J-jO1MeIGj8/видео.htmlsi=IJkijL1ZsVArKuK2
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.
The Penn state whiteout is a huge event. It gets so loud that one time a team had to call a timeout because the players couldn’t hear each other to call the play
you do realize that was michigan and yes we did call a timeout but we wooped your guyses buts badly
@inkysheep123 not that game. Michigan lost that one and called a timeout before the game clock even officially started.
Michigan Stadium seats 107,000+. The Auburn tree roll is a tradition for all Auburn Students. There are special Oak Trees on the campus that serve as a rally point for pep rallies before each football game. Auburn is VERY protective of these trees and their campus.
At 8:48, what you are seeing is the mascot for the University of Oklahoma. The Sooner Schooner is pulled by two white Welsh Ponies, named Boomer and Sooner. The Conestoga wagon represents the settlers who spread out across Oklahoma during the Land Rush of 1889.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomer_and_Sooner
Michigan Stadium (The Big House) capacity is 107,601.
The Native American mascot at the beginning of the video represents the Florida State Seminoles, who have actually received permission from the Seminoles to use the name and mascot. The largest on-campus stadium in the USA is Michigan's "Big House," which seats over 107,000 and has held over 115,000 including standing room.
You can find your way into the NFL w/o playing college ball but this is not common. Almost 100% (not scientific) of NFL players come from college and less than 1% of college players make it to the NFL.
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
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.
The US Army, Navy and Air Force have college AF teams. Army vs Navy is a rival game.
College football & it's traditions has been around for over 150 years. NFL little over 100 years 50 years yuonger than college. Yes the NFL get all their players from college.🎉 Happy Thanksgiving🎉and may college tradition go on 4 another 150years🎉 ❤ n blessings to all🎉🎉
If you go to a college football game in America, go to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. On January 8, 2024 they won the National Championship as the best college football team in the United States. Order your ticket early and go early and join the tailgate parties outside of the stadium. Food and beer.😁 Tom Brady was the Quarterback at the University of Michigan.
1st team is Florida State Seminoles - which is a 1st Nation Tribe. I'm part Seminole and I love this tradition and Chief Osceola ROCKS!
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.
The NFL is more popular.
College fans are more passionate.
Army vs Navy. One of the greatest college football games that is ever play. It started in 1890. They are two college universities. The United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. (Army) and the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. These two schools play the last regular season game before the bowl games begin. Also. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY
There are a lot more traditions in college football. Every school has one. Most of the big universities have stadiums that will hold 70k-110k people.
That "indian" was an Engineering student in the Florida team called the Seminoles. All teams have mascots and for this team is Chief Osceola, a real chief from that tribe who fought the white man in the Seminole Wars. At the start, the fans were chanting an indian war chant.
6:54 every year, the Annapolis Naval Academy midshipmen play the West Point Cadets in football at a neutral site(normally Philadelphia). It's a tradition that started back in 1890.
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.
You will see the fullest stadiums and craziest crowds at games with winning teams. Some schools rarely have winning teams so the fans are not so passionate.
Except for Nebraska. GBR!
You also have to consider the type of seating that is installed in the stadiums as well. The college stadiums use more of bleacher seating, where NFL/Pro stadiums have more individual seat seating. The individual seats take up more room than a “seat” on a bleacher (bench)
Not only do these games fill stadiums all over the country but there are games that are broadcast on TV too.
I would love to do that boat deal at Tennessee. Boat strangers always have their fun screw loosened.
this is how much college sports means to a lot of Americans: listening to a commentator speak on a retiring coach's last lead out will put us in tears lol.
UofM is in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the stadium holds 110,000 people. It's a mad house on game day.
Florida St and Florida play Saturday at 7pm eastern, gonna be WILD rivalry game
The one with the eagle flying is my Alma Mater, Auburn University. Then at 6:32 is The University of Alabama - the band and crowd yelling "Hey Auburn!/Hey Auburn!/Hey Auburn!/We just beat the hell out of you!/Rammer Jammer/Yellowhammer/
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. The local Walmart buys extra TP because they know students will be buying it for wins during any sporting event but mostly just football and basketball.
I was at a game in 1990 and the Auburn alums I was with kept yelling "Roll! Over! Tide!" LOL
College football is a must attend, full of passion and energy, BTW high school football in many states such as here in Texas are also very big and enthusiastic. We Americans love our football games.
The team with the wagon is the Oklahoma Sooners who got their name when the government opened the state of Oklahoma for settlements. So there was a rush of Conestoga wagons. The ones who jumped the gun were called Sooners.
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.
I’d say that it’s more popular than the NFL and this country’s most popular sport
1:43 Florida State University Seminoles. That is Chief Osceola on his horse, Renegade.
yes it is, smaller towns and history! Most sports in America start through college/university.
If you want to understand just how incredible the college football atmosphere and excitement of the game and all of the unique traditions and cultures for each team, go watch the trailer for the new EA College Football 25 coming out this summer. It's truly an electrifying way to get hyped for the best experience in sports
Costs of tickets depend on game if it’s divisions, title etc and your seat location
Florida State's sport teams are called the Seminoles . Seminoles are an Indian tribe native to Florida . The guy on the horse is called Chief Oceola ,who was actually a famous Seminole chief
Yes Michigan stadium is bigger than Camp Nou, so is Beaver Stadium of Penn State, Ohio Stadium of Ohio State, Kyle Field of Texas A&M, Tiger Stadium of Louisiana State, Neyland Stadium of Tennessee, Bryant Denny Stadium of Alabama, and Texas Memorial Stadium of Texas. Additionally all of these stadiums have capacity for more than 100,000 people.
I've been a sub about a week and enjoy your reactions to Our beautiful USA . Now that you're checking out sports and traditions , a big part of college sports are the marching bands. There are a lot of really good ones but most folks would agree the most creative by far is The Ohio State Marching Band , Their Hollywood Blockbuster Show will blow your mind ! I've yet to see a European react to it who isn't amazed .
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.
That's the USC (University of Southern California) Trojan! Tommy Trojan sticks the sword into the ground before every home game. 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
Most NFL football players first go to university first . If they are exceptional, they can go to the practice team first, then go to the pros.
The pageantry of college football really sets it apart from the NFL.
I have two recommendations.
First, there are "College Football Pump-Up" videos for 2021-22 and 2022-23 that you may enjoy.
Also, there is a video about the 2007 season and "Is it the best season in CFB History?"
@1:50 Calling an Indian Mascot an Indian is not racist!! That is the mascot for Florida State University Seminoles (an Indian Tribe). It is a compliment to the warrior spirit of the Seminoles.
I didn't see a video of the best tradition in college sports. That is when the fans in the Iowa Hawkeyes fans turn and wave to the people in the Childerens hospital beside the stadium.
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.
there are over 100 college football teams playing every saturday from the beginning of september till the first of december only 32 nfl teams
You have to check out out Bryant stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
I was hoping you'd get around to University of Wisconsin's "Jump Around" tradition. Darn it!
Ok each college plays 12 games so 1/2 are at home so they go all out.. students past alumni, the town where college is located so it’s a SAT event .. cookout before and party afterwards.. party afterwards.. here in the south SEC we tailgate party in the parking lot.. barbque etc.. .. dressed alike cause they post which jersey everyone should wear most colleges have two colors
If you’re looking for the best college experiences, it’s gonna be in the southern part of America. SEC games are a must for any European who wants to experience American culture
If you want to see an atmosphere… Texas vs Oklahoma (some of college footballs most historic teams) “Red River Shootout” has 50%Oklahoma and 50% Texas fans half and half split down the middle of the stadium. Undoubtedly the best atmosphere and games one could see in person!
College football is much older than nfl, and no matter where you're from, you have a team to root for.
Michigan Stadium is the biggest stadium in the US, and I think like 3rd in the world. With standing room it holds up to about 110k-115k people
The NFL has 32 teams but only 30 cities across the entire US. Every city has a college with some type of sports program.
Your assumptions are pretty on spot. No questions are dumb
Without college football the NFL wouldn't exist
The Army Navy game is the teams form the respective Academies.
There are players that are called walk ons.
But the vast majority were college players before getting drafted.
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
University of Michigans Big House is the largest stadium in North America. 115,000 strong
The video leaving out the Iowa wave is almost criminal
Yeah man the NFL is just a lot more "professional." Players there have already achieved their dream, now they play for longevity. The magic of college football is that every player is still fighting for that dream.
It is Florida State (Indian). The University has an agreement with the Seminole Nation.
That funny to said Tom Brady he is from California but went to college at UofM in Ann Arbor,Michigan.
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.
The first one was the Florida State Seminoles
Because we encourage our kids to have a good college education and to be proud of their university.
Florida State are the Seminoles. They are Native American (Indian) and Florida is the Gators. Each state has many Colleges and Universities. For example I am a University of Michigan fan(Wolverines) and our in state rival is Michigan State (Spartans) and we also have Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan and countless other smaller universities and colleges
Tom Brady started at Michigan way back in the day
Please react to the Iowa Hawkeye wave. It’s the best tradition in college football.
Iowa girl here: absolutely! 😄🥰
It’s not racist to say Indian…it’s a very big honor to be the Indian for Florida St!!
The main reason is, "loyalty."
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.
I subscribed mainly just for your art work of the Black lotus with blue eyes. I cant see the rest but I think it's the 1 of 1 LOTR card. I don't even play magic and haven't played yugioh in years but that is cool art work.
I'm really disappointed you didn't include Texas vs Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl every year. It's one of the longest rivalries in College Football.
Michigan has the largest College football stadium seating 114K.
college football renews itself with many new players every year as eligibility to play lasts for at most 5 years (sometimes 6).
Indiana has Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana University. Biggest colleges in Indiana.
College football has alumni fans so the number of fans has the potential to grow larger every year
Aw I love this. College football is pretty special. You should check out some halftime marching band stuff. Cheers and RollTideRoll
The NFL is marketed worldwide, and college football is nationwide.
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.
LSU has a live tiger that lives on campus
You need merch that says "No Chance" lol
