They get that way in Philadelphia with football(NFL). I moved there from Texas when I was 15 and showed up to first day at school with a Dallas Cowboys jersey and ended up in 3 fights that day(none of which I instigated). The guy who started the last one said he was sure I was a nice person but had to rough me up as a matter of principal. He was the worst of the bunch too. He broke my nose. He did help me up afterwards and I ended up good buddies with him a year later. He's one of the guys who throws batteries at the other team at Eagles games.

oddly, the other scot i know who likes american football also likes the steelers...

i grew up in new england, so i'm a patriots fan. but im more into college. my alma mater, the glorious university of michigan, is #3 this year and will prob end up #2

Too bad the Steelers are shit this year. They lost alot of key players this past year after the Superbowl and are one of the worst in the league this year. That's a shame too as I love their coach and quarterback.

Too bad the Patriots aren't their usual selves this year. I have two fantasy football teams and have Brady on both as a primary qb. He has been playing shit lately.

For college football, I'm obviously a Texas fan as I live in Austin(capital and home of the University of Texas for those who don't know). We started well but the loss to the dastardly Texas A+M cost us dearly in the standards. That team is obsessive about beating us to the point of having the words "beat Texas" in their fight song. They build their team around the principle of winning at least one game a year- Texas vs. Texas A+M. Kinda like Michigan/ Michigan State.

i quite like watching football, but the rules totally baffle me?

i don't follow American Football or understand the rules...

but nice one for starting the thread snooch, it's interesting to hear about what other sports folk are into, and ofcourse we mainly discuss the English Premiership on this board and nothing much else, it's great to have a bit of variety, especially as this is a truely international forum...
