Joke's on you, I actually did. I watched Alabama play in Tuscaloosa. Granted, it wasn't a big game or anything (like Kent State) but I l'll concede that the atmosphere was damn good (Roll Tide y'all!)
Would've loved to see them play Auburn or LSU, would've been ecstatic.
That said, with Soccer, you get amazing atmosphere at lower league games too and the prices are decidedly lower.

Fuck i'm jealous as hell. I'm a UGA fan, used to date an Alabama girl but we broke up before I got tickets to an Alabama game. I'm gonna try to get to one this season. Did you get to witness this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqo4cKCsTcQ
Sure its not as good after a Kent State game but i bet its fun as hell. Tuscaloosa is an awesome place..
just wrote this and realize you said you watched and took it as you were there. but whatever bud.

Thats 110,000 fans right there. Bigger than any stadium in europe. And for a college game. Thats not even our biggest college stadium.

lel get a load of this faggot
you go to college for 4 years. you CHOOSE what college you go to. this rabid "atmosphere" bullshit like the one here:
>>69054028
is completely plastic and fake, and mostly comprised of burnouts and jocks who never made it to college in the first place and still cling on to that "if only coach had put in me that one time" crap (ie. Uncle Ricos)
nothing is funnier that meeting a fan of a team tied to a school that they never attended. it's the ultimate "i have nothing else to live for in this shitty hick town, might as well watch teenagers throw an egg around and risk brain damage for free"

>>69054155
>>69054210
actually there are tons of blue collar fags who never went to college but they still buy season tickets for college sports because they are the largest entertainment options for 100 miles if you live in a flyover state

No, I'm just someone who lives in Atlanta working a 6 figure job who supports my college and loves the sport. You're just upset that boosters pay for big stadiums instead of donating money to your liberal arts degree.

>>69054270
>muh 6 figure job
you forgot the gorilla warfare part
also, i graduated with a STEM degree you faggot.
only a small percentage of schools actually turn a profit on this shit, the rest lose money and make it harder on ACTUAL students to get real degrees, not this bullshit Communications shit that these fuckfaces major in. it's a lose-lose for everyone
football is a shit sport anyways. too much fatties, commercials, and standing around. i only support my cities team out of lazy habit.

>>69054312
CSUB was red pilled and does not have a football team. The local Jr college plays in some 70 year old stadium and attracts tons of fags
it's nice and all, but it's a bit fake
i like when the atmosphere comes directly and spontaneusly from the fans, not imposed from bands/announcers/organized fans etc (and that's getting rarer and rarer even in soccer)
that said, i've always been kind of jelly of american college sports, only thing i envy from the american system

>debt
no, i worked my way through Uni, instead of sitting around watching my classmates play an irrelevant game
>>69054348
Its not fake at all. These college football rivalries have been going on for over 140 years in a lot of cases. And the great thing about college football is the players go to the school they want to. They aren't bought by some other city or team. They play with real heart. Its 100x more entertianing than pro football. Its a completely different experince from pro sports

So fucking plastic and fake, jusr organized by the University itself, whyle all the "fans" support is rytmic clapping. It should be the fans that create the atmosphere not the club itself. This is just like chelsea giving flags at the entrance of the stadium, or that american team handing out chant sheets et theyr games, and everyone mock them for that
>Ameriparades
Why do you throw a parade for fucking everything? It's the most boring shit in the world.

Didn't really care about College football at all until I started going to University and >we won a New Years bowl.
So I don't really expect and euros to watch that vid and be jealous, its more about school pride tbqh
>>69056038
Yeah most of these massive football schools have poor education standards(FSU, Clemson, etc).
>>69056017
how is this any more manufactured than people singing the same handful of songs over and over?
it isn't.
>>69056127
Because we're not made to sing them, they're spontaneous
>>69054285
this guy is trying too hard
>>69056137
>Come on New York Score a goal it's very simple
>***Clap***
>>69056137
made to sing them? but its the same 6 nursery rhymes that you guys sing. People don't all spontaneously sing the same one simultaneously. There hear some other yurogays singing and join in because that's what you are conditioned to do.
I also fail to see how an MLS (the most plastic of all leagues here) is relevant to a discussion of college football tradition
>>69056127
Because it doesnt come spontaneously from the fan but it's team itself that does everything, they just stand there clapping. If the university didnt organize all that parade they would have done nothing
>Watching the equivalent of U21 games
Why should I care? They aren't technically as good as full blown players. Only people who go to that Uni should care.
>>69056159
dude, the band isn't the team. they are fans as well
and many chants come straight from the student section desu. literally no different from supporters in yuroland.
>>69054210
>could give two fucks

>>69056173
it's still the team itself that organizes and pays for everything. Sorry it just seems so forced and unnatural
>>69056198
you're literally incorrect about that. you're letting your bias inform your lack of ignorance on the topic
>>69056158
It's how manufactured all American sports are, it's just embarrassing
You need team supplied marching bands and cheerleaders to tell you what to say and when to clap, it's different to European chants as there are lots of explicit, inappropriate ones which wouldn't be started by the team, they come from the fans themselves
>>69056212

It's the university band m8 come on. It is all just so staged. The people just stading there watching, what kind of support is that? You need cheerleaders to spell the chants for you.
Sorry it just comes off as fake and plastic to me.
>>69056248
you green texted what i already greentexted
dunno why you are pretending the band is the only thing going on at the games (and that still doesn't make it affiliated with the actual team).
>>69056234
that song was never sung before that moment?
Doesn't feel genuine sry
>>69056272
Everyone keeps telling you, it just feel so staged, not spontaneus. Go take a look at how the atmosphere is in Europe and you''l understand why it looks so fake and plastic to us.
>>69056245
That's a picture made online, not actual sheets of paper handed out to supporters, and there also aren't hired people to get the chants going so the supporters aren't sat in silence and confusion
The pinnacle of American sports is literally university students having organised fun watching mollycoddled rugby
I'm laffin
>>69056301
i've been to europe numerous times my friend. You're the ones commenting on something you don't understand, and you're drawing conclusions based on bias and flawed assumptions (eg the team directs the cheers, the fans don't make their own up, every yuro chant is completely spontaneous)
>>69056315
It all feels genuine to you because you have become the plastic.
>>69056332
oh good point
>>69056272
It has been sang before, you keep missing the point. It's not staged. People are singing on complete random, they weren't even supposed to be there, there was no planned welcome home party for they players, people just flocked down to the airport to welcome them.
That's what we're trying to tell you, your parade, it's nothing genuine or impressive, it's just a show that has it's plan. It has no atmosphere.
>>69056315
>i've been to europe numerous times my friend.
yes, i wonder how many games you wnt to tho.
Anyway it still feels forced and fake, be sure to tweet your opinion using the offcial hashtag so the next parade will have more fireworks and little american plastic flags, and dont forget to buy the occial merchandise to show that you are a tru supporter
>>69056354
if it's been sang before, then its not spontaneous. And if you think college football fans never congregated to welcome an arriving college team by singing well-known songs about said team (without the band or cheerleaders present), then you shouldn't be involved in this discussion. They are identical situations common to both sports.
Obviously the parade in OP was planned, its one little piece of what happens over the course of a college saturday at one college. but this discussion is obviously about more than that parade.
>>69056363
I never talked about feelings, you keep using the word feel to justify your bias. perhaps you're better suited for twitter than I am.

the sole fact that you have a thing "college saturday" should make you think about how spontaneous that "atmosphere" is
What are some banter songs americans sing against other teams/opposing players ?
My favourite was singing "wasyl, leg made of playmobiel" when Witsel broke wasylewski's leg
my mom is from Milton Keynes so I'm an English expat and I'm proud English teams don't hand out chants or support plastic clubs with no history like Germans and Americans.

college games are almost universally on Saturdays. he's just describing the day of the week games are held. Good thing Europeans don't have things called Soccer Saturday; oh :0
>>69056433
i recall a lot of chants about toasters one time when an opposing basketball team's top scorer had recently been charged with domestic assault where he used a toaster to strike his babymomma. it wasn't widely publicized, but some kids dug it up after research and shared on facebook.
>>69056430
>get told i don't know much about the thing i'm trying to mock
>make smug post that further demonstrates i don't know much about it
>>69056444
it doesnt matter, you have e predisposed thing for everythin, football is played this day, celebrations pre game are at this place at this time with this schedule. Oh and everything has always to be politcally correct and be sure to not offend anyone. That's why it looks forced. I dont know how to explain it better
>>69056479
>Good thing Europeans don't have things called Soccer Saturday
we dont, footbal can be played pretty much any day of the week during the season
>>69056508

>>69056703
Yes, because that's literally what happens, they're sold by unofficial stalls all around the outskirts of a stadium and anywhere in the town, and these have nothing to do with the club
unlike in America where they're desperately given away alongside tickets in attempt to make it look a little less depressing

This is probably a shitpost, but in case euros are wondering, people in america typically live at their university, and often go far away from home to attend. Their university is their second home.

I can understand college sport. I'm a French expat that went to Sciences Po, and each year there's a sport competition with the other 8 Sciences Po. It's binge drinking, sports, banter and parties for 3 days, and it's the best time of the year.
What I don't like about how you do it in the US is that it's too clean, almost professional. And emotions don't get any bigger than they can, singing your hearts out with your friends shitfaced is the same whether there's 200 or 100.000 people around you.

I still wonder how our """""""""""""""soccer""""""""""""""" Euros could stay so peaceful, seems like the Americans just don't know how to support their team in a friendly way without violence

Lmao at how salty all the europoors ITT are they have shit """""atmosphere""""" that's really just people lighting flares and stabbing eacother in the stands while they sing recycled nursery rhymes with cringe tier lyrics. Don't worry the semen rations are on their way.
> realise handegg is shit and only lasts 20 minutes
> come up with creative ways to entertain people before/during the game that doesn't involve actual sport

Only muricans stupid enough to fall for this shit

Yeah I bet Superbowl half time shows are amazing kek
I've experienced both "atmospheres".
Tbh I really like the tailgating (I went to watch a UGA game in Athens).
Drinking and having fun so long before the game is pretty cool and the stadium is fucking impressive.
BUT I feel like nobody cares about the actual sport in the US. They only watch replay of the big plays and don't pay too much attention. Also the band thin is really cringey.
I went to smaller football/soccer stadiums in Europe and you just feel people are more passionate. Even for small games the singing is just so much better and more heartfelt. (My biggest game was in San Siro in Milan Inter vs AC, shit was lit yo).

Been wondering about this. I had a random problem with my eyes and couldn't watch TV, and sports in particular due to tracking the ball, for more than 5-10mins. So I watched the beginning and end of games and would periodically check in the middle. My main sports are football and cricket. In cricket the score keeps accumulating, but I found that even though when I actually watch the sports I am more hyped about football, when checking the football I would say to myself 'oh wow, nothings happened' when there was no score. This is the kind of thing Americans always say about football, and it made me wonder if they actually concentrate on the game. American sports tend to have more metrics that tell you about the games progression, plus sideshows and concessions etc.
>>69078565
Yeah they love checking the score, reading all the numbers, reading an awesome graphic chart explaining by the numbers why this team is better at this than this other one. I feel like a minority of them actually watches what's happening. It is very strange for me as a European.
Also sports bar have all the games playing and it's packed on games night but nobody actually cares about the plays, just the replays. Rest of the time it's drinking beer and eating shit food. But apparently that's what being a sports fan in the US means.

it's interesting to see an outside perspective. in my personal experience, when it's saturday and it's game time, everyone in the house is glued to the TV and invested in the game itself. my family all lives in alabama for the most part, and the iron bowl is one of the few times a year when you can get everyone to get off of their fucking phones.
and the few games i've attended in person have been the same way. i want to say it's because i live in the south and college football is the lifeblood of the region, but france went to a UGA game, so...
the arguing back and forth ITT has been hilarious and it's really a retarded subject to get autistic about. OP asked for it though. there are things to enjoy in all sports in terms of "atmosphere." it's disappointing to see so many people dismiss college football as forced and fake when it has always been a genuine pastime in my family and general upbringing, but at the same time i can see why it is perceived as such.
it takes all kinds.
b-but i'm going to keep w-watching s-soccer too
>>69080719
Ahah I feel you !
I'm happy to say I enjoy both games and I was actually really impressed by how big college football was in the US (I used to follow only the NFL).
I'm going to study in Atlanta (Yellow Jackets meh). And it was way more passionate in UGA than at georgia tech. So I guess it depends. But all in all I think soccer feels more serious maybe it's a bad thing idk.
People should just enjoy what they have and stop trying to dismiss something they don't know.
>>69080915
nah, in a way i am jealous of how things are done in europe BECAUSE it seems more serious. it's something i have not been able to experience in sports firsthand. but i enjoy the lightheartedness of america as well.
georgia tech has an awesome offensive style, it's probably my favorite in college football. very old school. athens is a great town for the music scene and whatnot, but GT is the better school, academically. pros and cons to each, i imagine. hope you have a blast, and good luck.
