But bad NCAA b-ball tends to be low-scoring because bad teams can't shoot. Your comparison isn't apt at all. Bad shooting /= defense.

Hello there
Yeah college basketball is often torturous to watch. If I wanted to watch a bunch of amatuers lob bricks for over an hour I'd go play basketball outside with my friends.

Well sure, if you watch Podunk State vs Podunk University KD. I'm from North Carolina so it's UNC all the way. UNC-Duke games are almost always classics.

Not really. Even the upper-echelon schools have their clankfests. I never said I don't want the games, they are highly entertaining however quite torturous in terms of quality of play. The thing that attracts me most to the game and to college sports in general is the pureness that the games still hold.
I like tough defensive battles at times as well. The college game I mentioned was just one example. Even with not much defense it was far more entertaining and worth watching more than some of these NFL games. The Florida's, Bama, LSU, TENN, AUB etc. will feature some tough defenses as well.
Don't get me wrong...I prefer the higher skill level and competition level of the NFL over NCAA and understand the College football has a million teams to increase the odds of a better overall game. Just certain teams and rivalries in College will give you an almost guaranteed great game. We can go 3-4 weeks sometimes in the NFL featuring shit-ass boring games...only then we may get lucky and see a great game or matchup.
The thing that gets me even more in the NFL is when a featured talented team like the Giants fail to show up and give us something worth watching, as they did against the Broncos. An unfortunate occasion to often in the NFL.

It seems that Pittsburgh couldn't pay the refs off enough tonight. I mean pass interference called AGAINST the Steelers? I think the world may be changing.
Good game though, glad the Steelers lost.

I love how people consistently claim that the referees are biased toward the Steelers. It's in direct contrast to the fact that James Harrison is held on nearly every play, including the play on the first drive that got things started.
I really don't care that they lost this game. They weren't supposed to win. The fact that it went to overtime is in itself mindboggling. Playing your third string running back with your best run-blocking lineman out on offense and your best player and your best d-lineman out on defense is not a favorable scenario.

Well I'd say that winning 2 Super Bowls directly as a result of officiating is kind of telling.

You're like a fish to a fisherman's worm.
I too was glad to see the Steelers lose... and not just to lose, but to lose again. Even though it is obvious that had Ben been in there they would have likely won.
That TD run by their QB was sweet, though.
