As corny as it sounds, college is just where all the heart is. College players are playing for 1 of 2 reasons: because they love the game, or because they are trying to get to the next level. Either way its hard to put your finger on it, but you can just feel the intensity of a college game more than you can a pro game. You know these kids are nervous. They're not collecting a paycheck, they're hoping to get there one day. That's what fuels them. College >>>>>>>>>>>>> pro all day long.
Pro just feels too......... relaxed...... that's the best way I know to say it
