I'm not sure if you've thought this through...
I was just getting my March Madness on, watching Duke pull out a close win over Texas, when Teebs and I were brought up the college vs. pro topic.
We both don't understand how anyone could think that a college team would EVER beat a team of professionals, even if it was a team like the Detroit Lions.
I'd now like to make a few points on why this would never happen.
1. Whether we're talking football or hoops, let's remember that only a handful of college athletes ever play pro ball. So when you're talking about team of professionals taking on a team where some of the players will be working at Foot Locker in the near future, it's no contest. I don't care how bad the pro team is.
2. Next, I'll highlight the fact that college vs. pro is, esentially, boy vs. man. Some of the young college players have developed, but every one of the pro players have.
The pro players would literally man-handle the college boys.
3. The last point I'll make is just so this rant looks better. Three points is better than two. It just looks more official that way. This does make sense though. Imagine you're a player for the Lions, or playing in the NBA for the Clippers...There's no wayyyy you're letting that college team win.
And that's just the thing; the pro guys would have to LET the college guys win.
The thoughts and ideas included in this post are in no way a slight against college athletes. They are a slight against the individuals (imbeciles?) who think that even the best college team could actually beat even the worst of professional team.
It just wouldn't happen.
