PeytonManningRocks Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 OK, so I've been thinking about this for a while now. I was wondering whether it would be interesting to see college teams play against pro teams in an exhibition tune-up before the college football season. It would be almost like a scrimmage after training camp, and each NFL team would play a game against a local college team in the college stadium. Tell me what you guys think of this lineup:AFCWestChargers vs. San Diego StateRaiders vs. CalChiefs vs. KansasBroncos vs. ColoradoNorthRavens vs. MarylandSteelers vs. PittBengals vs. Ohio StateBrowns vs. Miami OHEastDolphins vs. Miami FLBills vs. SyracuseJets vs. HofstraPatriotss vs. Boston CollegeSouthColts vs. PurdueTexans vs. Texas A&MJags vs. FloridaTitans vs. TennesseeNFCWestNiners vs. StanfordSeahawks vs. WashingtonCards vs. Arizona St.Rams vs. MizzouNorthPackers vs. WisconsinVikings vs. MinnesotaLions vs. MichiganBears vs. IllinoisEastGiants vs. RutgersEagles vs. Penn StateSkins vs. Virginia TechCowboys vs. TexasSouthBucs vs. Florida StateSaints vs. LSUFalcons vs. GeorgiaPanthers vs. NC State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleujayone Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Oddly enough there was a game years ago where the Super Bowl Champion team would play a team of NCAA college all-stars. I think they stopped it in the late 1970's though. NFL teams didn't want to lose key players to injuries and college players didn't want to lose out on their pro career before it started. I remeber footage of the Pittsburgh Steelers playing a team of players in white uniforms covered with 70's style stars and stripes. We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

HedleyLamarr Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think Peyton Manning is a sissified, overrated QB..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Despite the bad idea this is, and Hedley's way off-topic remark. TCU in Ft Worth would be way closer to the Cowboys than the Longhorns in Austin would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herk Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 The worst NFL team would absolutely CRUSH the best college football team. The best NCAA team (Last year USC) has maybe 10 NFL calibur players topps, while the NFL team has an ENTIRE roster of NFL calibur players. NFL players are bigger, faster, stronger and smarter than college players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL players are bigger, faster, stronger and smarter than college players.This isn't the NBA where the game is basically 1-on-1 or 2-on2. THIS IS A TEAM SPORT. And with USC last year, and the NE Patriots, you had a classic example of a TEAM. Every player knew their role and would put aside personal goals for team goals. So I would definitely put my money on USC against San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrbaseball Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 TCU in Ft Worth would be way closer to the Cowboys than the Longhorns in Austin would be. If proximity is a factor in choosing opponents, then the Eagles should play Penn or Temple instead of Penn State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
