Ahira's Hangar

most likely people as well read and educated as we ( ) consider Football 2 b a barbaric, warmongering pastime. But admit it u secretly love it--if not 4 the sport 4 the cheerleaders (men...I hope!) or 4 what Tamara refers 2 as "those tight little butts!" (ladies...I hope!). Come on, let ur hair down--we don't know who u r...go wild! Fall Far and Well Pilots!<i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 7/31/02 4:46:42 pm

I love pro football. I refuse to watch college football (My college only had a basketball team, so I never did get that college feeling of football). Love the Saints though they usually find a way to lose when necessary. <i></i>

It's heartbreaking 2 watch my college football team, the UNM Lobos, cause they rarely make it 2 a bowl and when they do the coach splits and they fall flat on their faces the next season. @least we produced Brian Urlacher, Terence Mathis and Jarrod Baxter. Baxter was drafted in this year's 5th round--look out 4 him cause he's going 2 b great he's a 6'2" 269lb fullback-solid muscle-can out benchpress Urlacher! The Houston Texans drafted him and plan 2 use him primarily as a blocking back which is GREAT 4 his developement as he's smart, will have a couple of years 2 scope out how 2 run in the NFL and then if he's traded in 2 years (which seems 2b the norm w/those type of fullbacks) whoever gets him is going 2 get the next Mike Alstott! I root 4 the San Fancisco 49ers (I'm a Steve Young era fan and Tamara's a Joe Montana era fan) and the Tampa Bay Bucs--originally coming from the east coast I used 2 b a Giants fan but I figured there was no life after Lawrence Taylor and my dad got all over me! Tamara turned me in2 a SF fan--one thing good about switching from the Giants 2 the 49ers is that I still get 2 hate the Cowboys, ain't life grand! King: my Bucs are soon going 2 b known as the Johnsons: Brad, Rob and Keyshawn and ur team is about to become the William's 2 Rickey's what next 4 them? What about Drew Bledsoe on Buffalo--that team may just come around--Randy Moss better get with the program or get out of the game-or I'll send Terrell Owens over there 2 kick his butt!

Hey, I think my college's football team has yours beaten hands down! By the time I got to Lousiana College (Pineville), the football team had departed for good. I am told that they lost so many games, that when they finally won one, there was this tremendous parade down the streets of Pineville!
I was in the band and was getting some scholarship money, and the "concert" band had to be disbanded because it was being funded by "marching band" money, and there was no football team! Fortunately, the jazz band got funded.
Lousiana College does excel in basketball. Rah! Arise now, Riders of Théoden!Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!Forth Eorlingas!<i></i>

Well King, MsMary I guess we're going 2 have 2 put up w/this 4 about 2 months until REAL football begins! These "foreigners" r 2 lazy 2 start their own thread or post in the World Cup topic! Thank God they'r so lovable and silly! Be it ever so overpaid, violent and drug-filled there's no sport like ours (the NFL, that is!).

<b> I'm a little confused about the initials: AFL. Did that mean Australian Football League? Our NFL is made up of NFC and AFC, but it used to be National Football League and American Football League (NFL and AFL). Please help an old king who loves sports but can be confused when football means different things in different countries and initials are not recognized by an armchair quarterback! </b> Arise now, Riders of Théoden!Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!Forth Eorlingas!<i></i>

The AFL ("Australian Football League") my liege!!

Okay! Time 2 post here now NFL freaks! Training camp has started, preseason games should start, well, almost 2day, or this weekend! 1 of the best opening games the season is my 49ers vs the Giants! I can't wait I'm 2 xicted!!! wooohooo! Can u believe the Emmitt (the Geek) Smith only needs 540 yds 2 break Walter Payton's all time rushing record? Oh it makes me sick (not hoping 4 an injury, but...)! Well he can have the record...he'll never beat "Sweetness" 4 moves and class!! Barry Sanders was 10 times better than Emmitt--but u do have 2 credit Emmitt 4 longjevity and staying alive w/such a horrible offensive live 4 the last 5 years... The power of ahimsa is not just the readiness to die. It is the willingness to live. To live utterly without fear - this is a fearsome thing. <i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 9/8/02 10:29:58 am
