Why collegiate football sacks the pros…
Yes, it's time again for football.
How I love this time of year.
Autumn leaves and caramel apples,
punt returns that prompt a cheer.
But, it's college pigskin antics
that I'm passionate about.
Amateurs who play their hearts out
are my favorites without doubt.
See, the goal of college football
isn't just a line of chalk.
It is building men through teamwork
through a game known for hard knocks.
College players feel allegiance
to their coach, their team and school.
Love of winning spawns their effort.
Pride in purpose in their fuel.
While the NFL boasts ratings,
college football takes the cake.
Since these players aren't paid millions,
they give all for goodness' sake.
