[u/ConstantMadness]

These games are what make college football amazing. Pure passion and hatred, a beautiful combination

[u/levajack → u/ConstantMadness]

Crowd chanting "Fuck you Kiffin." Stadium sound crew playing Callin Baton Rouge. Band playing "Neck." Chambliss "Hotty fuckin Toddy"

Pure cinema post game.

[u/RecordingSilly6118 → u/levajack]

They were straight up chanting "lane kiffins a P****" clear as day during ole miss' 3rd FG lol.

[u/lincolnsl0g → u/RecordingSilly6118]

Elite banter. Props to Ole Miss, they had plans for this day of reckoning

[u/levajack → u/RecordingSilly6118]

Everyone there knew the assignment.

[u/Not_tlong → u/levajack]

We don’t get night games, so we gotta make em count lol

[u/lkn240 → u/ConstantMadness]

Yeah, the average NFL game is better than the average college game.. but there's just nothing like this in the NFL. Big college games are the best

[u/MaizeRage48 → u/lkn240]

NFL is better quality of gameplay. College is better quality of atmosphere. They're different things. Personally I prefer this one.

[u/TheLivingBubba → u/MaizeRage48]

Pro game = going to the symphony. College game= dive bar on a Friday night that you don’t know what’s gonna happen and then you are doing coke off a woman with three teeth on Sunday morning. Give me college ball.

[u/Vivid_Motor_2341 → u/MaizeRage48]

College is more exciting because there is more emotion and bigger risks are taken

[u/lkn240 → u/Vivid_Motor_2341]

When I say average college game - think how many Ohio State vs Purdue type games there are.

But the big games? Can't beat them - the passion, the pageantry.... all of it.

[u/incubusfox → u/lkn240]

Ohio State vs Purdue type games

We know better than to relax against the Spoilermakers, this isn't the best example lol

[u/lkn240 → u/incubusfox]

Unfortunately the spoilermakers have been dead for a few years now

[u/incubusfox → u/lkn240]

...We're still afraid it's a trick

[u/EasternCoast3497 → u/incubusfox]

The old “lose by 30 4 times in a row” trick. They’ve got you right where they want you

[u/kmoz → u/MaizeRage48]

College games are so incredibly sloppy, but that slop also gives you the wildest shit ever. It's the sports version of floridaman.

[u/teshh → u/MaizeRage48]

I'm usually a nfl guy because of how few college games matter but the atmosphere and passion in college football will never be matched by the nfl.

Watching this game and seeing the ending just reminded me of what I miss out on by not watching college ball.

[u/Comprehensive_Bus_19 → u/teshh]

The TV networks have killed off so many rivalries and are making the fan experience so expensive and miserable that I can't help but see this imploding in the near future.

[u/ThinkTank1000 → u/teshh]

I mean a college game has more on the line than an NFL game. Hell there's been NFL teams make the postseason with a losing record. Lose 2 games in a season and it's toast in college 

[u/teshh → u/ThinkTank1000]

I get your angle but nfl games are just more exciting in terms of athleticism, strategy, superstars, etc.

[u/Think_Idea_6175 → u/teshh]

Feel like the superstars in college are able to show that off more often but I get what you’re saying

[u/cbbutle → u/MaizeRage48]

But you only have like 15 nfl games a week. You get like 50 college games so there is always some close game or drama

[u/Greek_Trojan → u/MaizeRage48]

I'm the inverse but I still join for a big hatewatch like this from time to time.

[u/kylkartz21 → u/lkn240]

The NFL lacks the pageantry and passion of the CFB. Its too corperate

[u/CarlSteezer → u/kylkartz21]

My NFL team loses and I’m sad for about 30 mins. Baylor or Army lose and I’m insufferable for an undisclosed amount of time

[u/TaxAbatement → u/CarlSteezer]

So… always?

[u/CarlSteezer → u/TaxAbatement]

Pretty much

[u/sitgespain → u/CarlSteezer]

Man, you must be miserable at least half the time of the year or more

[u/CarlSteezer → u/sitgespain]

Half is a conservative estimate

[u/leggostrozzz → u/CarlSteezer]

I mean that's nothing to do with nfl vs college, thats just you being a bigger fan of baylor/army than whatever nfl team.

[u/CarlSteezer → u/leggostrozzz]

It’s about the emotion of college vs the corporate feel of NFL. A lot of NFL games are like a Teams meeting

[u/leggostrozzz → u/CarlSteezer]

Can only speak for the Texans but im STH and in-person its definitely not that vibe. Although some stadiums ive visited (Arizona, Dallas, Vegas) have felt like off sure but ive also visited other great environments too (Boston, KC, GB)

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/kylkartz21]

the NFL needs to expand to like 64 teams and then we'll get more random parity gaps and passionate hatreds

[u/Sagamonsta → u/kylkartz21]

Corporate

[u/Rohn- → u/lkn240]

Unless the Bears are doing good, of course. FTP

[u/lkn240 → u/Rohn-]

FTP

All hail our lord and savior Ben Johnson

[u/coldcoffeeplease → u/lkn240]

FTP but crying in Detroit Lions over Ben Johnson.

[u/TheBourbonTurtle → u/lkn240]

Lol no, average NFL games are an utter snooze fest. I'll watch any random college game, I'm not even turning on an NFL game unless "my team" is on.

[u/DuckDuckBangBang → u/lkn240]

I dunno, as. Seahawks fan, the Rams games last year were pretty satisfying. But I generally agree.

[u/GP_ADD → u/DuckDuckBangBang]

Was the entire crowd chanting fuck Mcvay and mocking the whatever the Rams are known for? The only thing close to it is every fucking fan base(except maybe the panthers due to hometown team type thing) booing Watson

[u/lkn240 → u/GP_ADD]

Bears/Packers is pretty close. We absolutely will chant "fuck the Packers"

Our coach might even scream it after the game

[u/bringbackwishbone → u/lkn240]

Bears Packers is the only nfl rivalry that’s even close, and it isn’t even really that close

[u/fourmentracking → u/lkn240]

Garbage take

[u/IrishTexan62 → u/ConstantMadness]

Ah! The smell of the college football chaos on a September evening. Can't beat just how refreshing it is.

[u/DejaJaws → u/ConstantMadness]

If you liked this don’t ever get into English soccer.

[u/ebmac97 → u/DejaJaws]

We won’t

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin → u/DejaJaws]

No worries there. 

[u/mitchdwx → u/DejaJaws]

Millwall vs. West Ham was pretty nuts today.

[u/MJDub → u/[deleted]]

All words are made up

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin → u/MJDub]

My mind is blown. 

[u/ThinkTank1000 → u/MJDub]

Touche

[u/StrykerNightowl → u/mitchdwx]

As a West Ham fan…the first half was not fun but the second half was.

[u/mitchdwx → u/StrykerNightowl]

As a neutral I’m just glad to see that derby return. Hopefully it’s able to continue past this season…I doubt it though since West Ham looks like a strong candidate for promotion.

[u/StrykerNightowl → u/mitchdwx]

My first introduction to this rivalry was the 3-1 extra time Hammers win in the League Cup in 09.

That was a wild night but I’m glad the rivalry is back. I just hope we go up though. Let Tottenham come down and deal with them…lol

[u/esports_consultant → u/DejaJaws]

Brighton fans singing "you're Tottenham in disguise" after 3-0ing Arsenal was pretty top class let's be real 

[u/DejaJaws → u/esports_consultant]

Epic. Arsenal and Tottenham being each others main rivals is valid considering outside of England that have an empty trophy cabinet.

[u/esports_consultant → u/DejaJaws]

Europa League is second tier but it is still considered a European trophy. 

[u/RainingFireInTheSky → u/DejaJaws]

I'm safe

[u/azsoup → u/ConstantMadness]

You’re right. It felt a little bit like some of those big game, regional rivalries, before the big conferences.

[u/ElSmasho420 → u/ConstantMadness]

I said it at the end of last year.

Kiffin got Ole Miss to the playoffs and could have stayed for 5+ years off that achievement alone. Now his stupid ass has to win a national championship within probably the next three years.

Good luck player, you’re going to need it.

[u/ekurisona → u/ConstantMadness]

except in the ohio state michigan game there cant be any hate there because its unreasonable bc a rando new hire coach there for a paycheck said so

[u/cates → u/ConstantMadness]

my whole 5 years at LSU I didn't give a shit about football but I heard "go to hell ole miss" at least once a week... I always appreciated the dedication.

[u/MeTieDoughtyWalker → u/ConstantMadness]

The hatred was very one sided but I also think that passion was the deciding factor in the game. You could tell in the beginning Ole Miss just wanted it more. I think the second half was more like what the game would have been without the emotion, including us shooting ourselves in the foot multiple times and losing. 😂

[u/bringbackwishbone → u/MeTieDoughtyWalker]

The revisionist history after big teams lose big games is always entertaining. This is LSU-Ole Miss we’re talking about here

[u/MeTieDoughtyWalker → u/bringbackwishbone]

You’re talking to the wrong person with that made up nonsense. LSU has no rivals. We dislike everyone equally. I get why Ole Miss wanted to beat us so badly and rightfully so. There was no added benefit outside of the normal for us to beat them. All I care about is the team improving every week and so far they have, even tonight, and I look forward to next Saturday for another great game.
