ONE REASON I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL

By mark rogers
December 21, 2009

Abilene High and the Dallas Cowboys were playing at the same time the other night, and I flipped back and forth between the games.

The Eagles were in the state championship while the Cowboys were playing the biggest regular season game they've played in a long, long time.

And if anyone else flipped back and forth like I did, you couldn't help but notice something:

The atmosphere at the stadiums was completely and utterly discernible.

It wasn't a sole loudness factor or really anything I can put my finger on, but the high school games are electric...NFL games feel like you're watching a soap opera or something.

The Saints (Dallas' opponent) were looking for 14-0 on the year...at home. A huge game. But the atmosphere was absolutely gentle compared to a "measly" HS game. I can think of no other word...gentle.

College games have that same type of electricity.

Just one of the many reasons I enjoy HS and college games more than the NFL...and I LOVE the Cowboys.

Anyway...just something glaring I noticed.
