Twitter is becoming a great source for blog content. Through our 1,700+ followers, we are able to communicate directly with sports fans. It’s almost like live polling, without the anonymous factor. Today I asked the @FFanatics twitter followers: Which do you prefer to watch on TV… college or NFL football?

The response was overwhelmingly in favor of NFL football. @polo12player said “the NFL is the greatest sport of all time! The NEW America’s favorite pastime!” and @tcms12 said “NFL…College gets uninteresting as soon as one team starts blowing out the other…Not many blowouts in NFL.”

I am of the opinion that NFL football is a better television product. I can sit down and watch the Colts vs. Patriots play on a Sunday afternoon even though I have no rooting interest. This may or may not have to do with the Fantasy Football revolution. With college football, I tend to only watch games that are important to me: like Florida Gator games. There aren’t many Saturday afternoons that I will sit and watch a Oregon State vs. Arizona State game, but I am always willing to watch any NFL game… even the 0-16 Lions.

There were a few Twitter replies though that supported college football, but overall the consensus agreed that they prefer to watch NFL football on TV. Tomorrow, I might ask which do they prefer to watch live in a stadium? The results could be flipped.

Ahhh it’s that time of year again. Can you smell it in the air? No, I’m not talking about all the yellow pollen… I’m talking about college football baby! College football spring practices are underway. We have incoming freshman, intense position battles and a fresh start for all teams. Over the next few weeks, teams will be wrapping up their spring practice schedules with an annual Spring Game.

Spring games are a great because it gives fans that little ounce of college football to hold them over until August. Spring games are fun for the whole family… you can relax in the stadium and watch a little football without having to worry about your blood pressure boiling after a bad call. Plus, it’s usually free to attend.

It’s not every day you get to see your favorite team playing against themselves. The Florida Gators have their annual spring game coming up on April 18. It’s called the Orange and Blue game and you know Football Fanatics is here to bring you specific Spring Game merchandise for the Gators and about two dozen other major college teams.
