College sports are very big over here. Bowl time and especially in March with college basketball. They call it "March Madness". March kicks off NCAA Tournament for the top 64 college teams. There are a lot of pools and betting going on during this time.:)

Battle of the Titans, Battle of the Titans Joel. 'Powerful, powerful piece of American cinema' :lol:

That's more bowls than in my kitchen.:eek:

I've never followed college football, except for my own universities Mount Allison Mounties. They recently ended a 5 year losing streak.

Wooo! Go Team.:o

But yeah, Joel. American college sports are very big and important. Unlike in Europe where professional clubs have junior squads, or in Canada, for hockey, there are dedicated junior leagues, in the US colleges serve as the training ground for professional athletes. So college sports are very important to American sporting culture.
