That college game between Penn State and Ohio on the w/e was amazing. 107,000 people dressed in and waving white. Game finished after midnight their time. Crazy how these merkins go mad about college sport.

yep. their college basketball and football are basically professional level competitions with abnormally gifted amateurs playing.

friday's game between fsu and louisville should be good. jameis winston on fire. hopefully when he goes to draft he can transition to nfl well (and stop being a tool off the field).

 

[Ron Jeremy]

It is amazing the passion they have for there sides over there, sometimes I think about moving to the us just for the nfl and college alone, then I realise no healthcare and f**k all jobs and think meh

The College team Hayne saw on his last trip, their training facilities are worth $250 million.

Pity about the poverty levels, unemployment rates, economic disaster figures, abysmal health/education programs etc. Good college football training facilities though.

How long does each game go for, 80min like NRL games?

 

[Eelementary]

They play four 15-minute quarters, but with stoppages in play, the game can last hours.

 

[Kornstar]

How long does each game go for, 80min like NRL games?

Probably average about 3 hours.

 

[strider]

"stoppages" is an understatement .... i reckon thats the biggest problem with NFL

 

[Twizzle]

its by far the biggest problem with the game, 3 hours to play an hour of footy

I follow the GB Packers and watched a final a few years back that took about 4 hours

 

[Gronk]

And what's with the 500 people standing right on the side line in everyone's way ?

 

[Twizzle]

they are staff

It's perfect, like cricket, it means it doesn't demand your full attention the entire time.

No it's the biggest problem for you with the nfl. There are millions of people who think it's just fine. Much like Australians think the biggest problem with soccer is diving but is accepted as part of the game just about everywhere else in the world

Yet you have no problem watching a 5 day test match lol

Yet they are perfectly content watching cricket where most of the time the camera is on the crowd sun baking as opposed to the game lol
