Football isn't religious nor political.
Go for it Bill.

Now, what is true football; College or Pro?
Jus stirring the pot!
Neither. True football is high school - those guys play for the love of the game--the mercenary factor comes later when they realize that they just might be good enough to play college ball, then into the pros.

This is one of the best posts I've read, truly hilarious.Football???
Football??
Football isn't even a sport. I don't watch it so I don't understand the game one bit, but it seems to me the second they get the ball and start doing something...that is after talking about it for ten minutes, a whistle is blown and they stop and do it all over again. It just doesn't make sense.
Then there is that stupid ball they call a ball. It's not even round, so calling it a ball is a big stretch.
Then there is the goal. It's something like ten yards deep and fifty yards wide, who in their right mind could not get a itty bitty tiny football thing into something that big? Heck I could do that. Same can be said for the upright things. I could kick an oblong ball into something that big. Jeesh...
Now hockey, that is a sport. Those guys have razor blades tied to their feet, they have clubs in their hands, they are allowed to fight, the rules are super simple and there is no out of bounds, and they are playing on frozen water not some fake grass like thing. Behind the net, in front of the net, there's no escaping a good hard push with these guys skating at 30 mph! In fact its part of the game. In football every time they see someone coming at them they run out of bounds like a scared Gazelle running from a Lion. Not in hockey. Heck they don't even stop the game to change people. That's on the fly. In football they stop every 5 seconds. Last year I watched a hockey game run steady for 7½ minutes with no whistel!! With football the last 2 minutes of the game takes an hour to complete!
Then to score you have to get a frozen puck into a net 4 feet by six feet guarded by an 8 foot giant with enough pads on him to cover six goals. And if by some miracle you do get that frozen black biscuit past the Goalie, you get credited with 1 point. Not seven, not three, but one. You only got it in there once, why get 7 points for it? Of course with football it might be 3 or it might be 1, I guess it depends on when you kick the thing.
I tell you, I watched about 5 minutes of some football game today. Just doesn't make sense to me. Thank goodness I can watch a good sport take place in a few weeks. I've been ready since June!!
C'mon Steve, do you really root for Ohio State? Even I root for MSU when the play Ohio State.
Given the choice between a Buckeye ( a fuzzy nut ) or a wolverine ( a fat weezle ) I choose to be nutty.

I am a Cowboys fan...check that, I am THE Cowboys fan.
And for you Canadians, I also follow the Dallas Stars hockey team.
Well, like Billy Burt, (and living 20 miles from where he grew up)...
Last but definitely not least, is one of our High School Teams, The Permian Panthers, also known as "MOJO", who were National Champs one year, (naturally that was when I was working overseas and missed the whole thing), We were down for a while due to a poor selection of three head coaches in a row, Buuuuuut.......were on our way back now.
Note: Billy Burt's old hometown, Midland, has had some excellent High School Teams as well. Hey, we gotta have SOMETHING to do on Friday Night out here in the desert.
Attested AND Agreed to.Yep! Midland Lee, Norman. LOML graduated from MHS, as did my dad. He played football w/Wahoo McDaniel.
Oh, and if you saw the movie "Friday Night Lights", it's about one of the Panthers' loosing seasons. And I could go into some of Permian's old recruiting practices, but... let's just say that they rivaled many universities.
And Norman can attest to this. I've sat in a number of Texas HS stadiums that are bigger than many university stadiums. We take our HS football quite seriously.
Ya know, I've read all through this thread and some folks have mentioned something called "Superbowl"????? Is that some sort of big college game? Here in CA, we've heard rumors that football is played after December but I can't seem to find out much about it with the CA teams. Playoffs??????........what's a playoff?
