Are college sports more exciting than professional sports?

The Cameron Crazies from Duke University

SoSportz.com- After watching games after games for all of these years, I asked myself, are college sports more exciting than professional sports?

In college sports you have 18-22 year old athletes playing their heart out mainly for the love of the game (some play to go pro) and to win. The game seems faster, the crowd seems to be in it more, and the athletes show so much passion.

In pro sports you have athletes who are living the dream of playing at the highest level. You have some who play with a burning passion and you have some who are playing for the "Check".  Sometimes the game seems slow until it's playoff time and sometimes it's very exciting. It's very up and down and you never know what you are going to get night in and night out.

Kobe Bryant(24)

When it comes to the fans, college by far is more exciting. Fans feel more connected because they actually went to school there and have some type of loyalty to that program. You have the school song, different chants that are being said throughout the game, and you have a younger crowd with a lot more energy. In the pros you have a lot of bandwagon fans. They might be a Cowboys fan today and a Patriots fan the next day.

When it's all said and done, college sports are more exciting than pros all around. This is just my opinion. What do you think?

TYRONE MCVAY- BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL

Tell everyone about yourself?
Hey, I’m Tyrone McVay and I go to Bolton High School. I was on the freshman football team this past season and played weak-side linebacker. I stand 6 feet tall and weigh around 165 pounds. My speed, leg power, and explosiveness stand out among other linebackers in our league.

What was your best game?
My best game was against Arlington High School’s freshman football team. In that game I had 11 tackles, 4 pass rushes, 2 quarterback knock-downs, and 2 interceptions, which made me set a higher standard of play for myself.

How do you make your team better?
I am a hard worker on the field and I help make me and my teammates better by using constructive criticism. I use constructive criticism because it helps show my teammates tricks or how they could do something better without discouraging them

Who is your favorite player? Why?
My favorite player is Demarcus Ware of the Dallas Cowboys because he is a great all around football player. Even if Ware does not make the tackle, you will always see him getting penetration of the line, which disrupts the initial play, and he shows great hustle.

Why are sports/education important to you?
Sports are important to me because they teach me discipline which I use on and off the field. Education is more important because if you have a career ending injury in football you need to have a backbone. If you have poor grades you will not go as far as you would with excelling grades.

What do you want to do if sports don't work out?
If sports don’t work out I plan to have a career in management. I chose management because I am good with conducting activities and getting a job done.

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
The advice I give to other student athletes is to never give up on anything. If a goal or award means something to you then it should be worth the hassles and difficulties of working for it.
