Martin Barrett Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Would someone explain what's going on? 73287[/snapback] It's some sort of American game, rather like their bigger rounders version. That way they can have a world series and still win. They learnt this from the English who introduced Cricket and Rugby (I'm not sure about football as has so many roots) around the Empire. And then go onto teach good sportsmanship by then playing for the ethos of the game and not bothering about winning. Occasionally a mistake happens and we end up winning but then go on and play really badly so not to make the same mistake again. The secret is to pretend to want to win. But the Americans like winners so they have their own games so they don't upset everyone else. This prevents those we're not coming to your Olympic Games spats. Which spoils it for the British because we could end up winning if we're not really careful. It's rather a good game because you can dress up in tights and armour.
staedtler Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 The University Of Texas at Austin Longhorns College Football National Champions!!! (it happens to be the school I went to)
dmoon64 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Once the BCS gets it all figured out, we could have a World Championship of College Football (not Soccer). I hear Cambridge is still pissed about not getting a bowl invite.
badmotogoozer Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 ahem... Canadians boys are World Junior Champions! 2nd straight gold medal. Unbeaten in the past two years.

Guest Nogbad Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Why are they carrying sticks? 73440[/snapback] They beat each other with them, and then jump into ice cold water.
badmotogoozer Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Actually, they jump ONTO ice cold water, and THEN beat each other with the sticks. Rj
badmotogoozer Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Oh Yeah, Didn't Flutie play that game? 73448[/snapback] Yup. Over and over on his VCR... Rj
dmoon64 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 "Yup. Over and over on his VCR... " That is the funniest thing I've read all day.
