College sports?

For me, when it comes to college sports the list pretty much begins and ends with football.
Used to like college basketball but it got so watered down with the one-and-done thing ... plus I think AAU has practically ruined the sport. No defense, bad free throw shooting, etc.

After football and to a lesser extent basketball, the college sport I actually follow most closely, at least indirectly, is field hockey because my daughters play youth league and like to go to watch their mom's alma mater, VCU, as well as watch it whenever it's on TV or ESPN3.

I don't know football and basketball are pretty much tied.

After that baseball, and then volleyball.

1. Hockey (Obviously a different school from WKU)
2. Soccer
3. Football

1.Basketball -- simply the best game to watch in person

2. Football -- best on TV and best gameday environment

3. Hockey -- Fun game to watch live at almost any level.

1. Basketball--although I played football and ran track at Louisiana, I could have walked on to the basketball team as well but would not have sniffed playing time during my time there.
2. Football
3. Track/Baseball tie

I had the opportunity to play all 4 at the D1 level and chose football and track due to being a lifelong Cajuns fan. But if I had it to do over again I would have just rode the pine playing basketball.

nice background. since you admit you woulda rode the pine that's not really a slam depending on when. they had some ballers back in the day.

Brad and I are very good friends, in fact if I could shoot it like Brad I would be in Europe still playing(well in my own mind). I was there from '99-04. I played with those guys a lot and had some offers from some SLC schools but I couldn't shoot the rock lol.

I never really talked a lot of chit until I dunked on someone. Well I take that back, I had been ejected in two high school games. One for a verbal altercation playing University High when Colis Temple III was there, it was an intense game and maybe the 3rd or 4rth of the season and I had been playing in the not so good parks in and around Lafayette all summer. I let it get the best of me. The 2nd time, same ref by the way, ejected me for taunting, although I call BS on that but neither instances were reported to the LSHAA which would have resulted in a year long suspension for all sports.

So to answer your original question, I probably did talk as much "chit" but he did it after draining 3s and I did it after blocking shots and dunks. Not bad for a 6'3" white kid.
