It's boss. Way more entertaining than the NFL, which I still follow, but not even remotely like college football. College sports in the US are just better than pro sports, IMHO.
 
I remember Holliday. He was tiny and dangerously fast. I've seen a lot of the Texans this year and can't think of anything he did that made an impression - can't recall seeing him at all. He's small, but he's not that small.

On college v. NFL - the NFL is a wonderfully run soulless machine of a league, and the "gridiron" they play is head and shoulders the best in the world.

However, in this part of the world (the southeastern US), the passion for college football exceeds anything else. You only have to show for a maximum of seven home games a year, and you have huge, rabid fan bases. Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, even South Carolina, now - just in one conference - get 80,000 - 100,000 for every home game, even when they're playing Little Sisters of the Poor.
 

To the point of the OP way back when though, I don't think America's problem is that our best athletes don't play this sport. I've heard that point made over and over, but the truth is even the kids who do play soccer/football are good athletes. As good as any in the world. What we lack is high level coaching and technique training at young ages. Too much emphasis at youth level placed on winning and playing as a team. These are traits which are valuable, and teamwork and endeavor have their places in this sport, but what we really need is for players who can play with the best in the world with the ball at their feet, and that, sadly, is where we're behind.

He does look pretty small to be fair.
