Over the past weeks there has been a lot of talk about college football. Whether it be about things like trophy winners, or great games, or fantastic teams, to players shooting themselves in the leg, the conversation is really stirring up the town. In the next view weeks the football season will come to an end with a series of bowl games. This system is very unique and is completely original to College football. The system consists of vast number of bowl games, (games played once between two teams and the winner receives the trophy), that take place all over the country. These games can range from the Holiday Bowl, to the PapaJohns.com Bowl. All the bowls are of relatively equal importance with the exception of the BCS Bowls. The BCS Bowls consist of the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, and the BCS National Championship. These bowls are the coveted prize in college football especially the National Championship. Each year the contenders for each bowl are different. Every year, with the exception of the National championship that automatically picks the top two ranked teams, each bowl choses which teams play in their bowl. Usually it is the most prestigious bowls, like the BCS bowls, that pick their teams first. After each game has been decided the games are played on various days between december and early January. The last bowl game to be played is always the national championship. With a new game every day between two great teams, causes for major excitement and entertainment in my life.
Although I have to admit that the end of the season is the best part of college football I also like watching football during the regular season. Even during the regular season there are still some great games. Being a Notre Dame fan I go to many of there games. If you have ever been to a game you would know what I am talking about. The crowd is always lively and yelling (especially the student section) the bands are playing, the cheerleaders cheer leading, the place is filled with noise. This makes for an exciting and enjoyable game even if your team doesn't really stand a chance. Even if you don't care much for football, watching a game with your family or friends is a great way to spend an afternoon.
By the way here's the final plays of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. It was one of the best and excitng games I have seen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoZJxi3A0VQ&feature=related
Have you ever been to game? What was it like?
Have you ever seen a game you ever have really enjoyed?

I like to watch football and volleyball. I always watch the big football game; but that's probably it. I like to root for any Chicago team, but I don't mind any other team either. I don't really like to watch sports, I 'd rather play them.
The only sport I like to watch is College Volleyball because. :-)
yay...being a girl Im not really into the whole football kinda of stuff. I like watching volleyball, also. I feel like whatever sports you play are the sports you like to watch. maybe its because its the only one i understand....:)
I haven't ever played soccer, but I really love to watch it...it's one of the greatest sports out there. of course there's volleyball, indoor and beach! karch kiraly anyone? one of the best games EVER was the federer vs. nadal match...for all you tennis fans out there you know what I'm talking about! Of course there's the michael phelps game where he won by what...0.001 sec? And I won't forget rushing home from a vball tourney to watch the superbowl and the bears scored the touchdown after kickoff. I went to a barca game (soccer) when they came here this summer..good times, good times. also the avp (vball) every summer when they're in chicago...it's the best.
I LOVE notre dame! haha, I was wearing one of their shirts today! I gotta gree with Merrick when he says that the crowd is always lively and such. The only sports I will watch or attend is College football, pro baseball and now i'm starting to enjoy Bruins and Blackhawks hockey.
I know I went to the rose bowl one year. It was fun even though it was Michgan vs. USC...not my favorite teams.
Like Vicki I also do not like football. I just think its a really violent sport don't find it interesting at all.
I do like watching basketball and volleyball, its not as slow/breaks/constant movement. I think its easier to watch a sport if you play it.
I've been to many cubs games and a couple bears games...go cubbies.
I actually want to go to a Blackhawks game; I haven't before.
