Goal!!! I Mean, Touchdown...Or Something

JC, Mike, Lorin, the Bellos, Keefe with girlfriend, and I, all got together at Indigo Joe's in Encinitas for some College Football action - the Houston Cougars vs. the Miami Hurricanes. Cool way to introduce me to the American tradition of watching a football game in a bar while munching on a sandwich and blah blah blah-ing. And to clarify, that's not Soccer that we were watching of course - the name of the real and greatest sport in the world has been hijacked for use in America for a sport closest to Rugby, but with added protection, like helmets and pads and stuff. I was digging the experience, especially when being privately tutored by JC about the rules of American Football and watching a game with a fanatic like Chris, AKA Canes305 who was upset that his team won only by 25 points and not by at least 30. I guess he was betting money on the game or something. Anyway. Go Canes, I guess!

    You're treading on thin ice there, son. Get into it!

    Rugby is hard hitting, I'll give you that - but the conditioning of our football is out of line. When Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis (former Cane) came full speed at Washington's Laveraneous Coles (former Nole) last weekend -- it was like a car crash.

    6'1" and 225 pounds of Lewis mass collinging full speed with an unsuspecting Coles' 5'11" and 195.. it was a thing of beauty - and a bloody mess when the Nole got his shit split open.
