4. i have no idea what the play-by-play guys are talking about...

but i freakin' love watching Aussie Rules on tv. i think it's the refs with their nice white coats doing the robot whenever someone scores (or whatever it is that happens when the ball goes through the goalposty-things)

6. That's a goal

If it goes between the inner, taller posts. It's a goal and six points.

If it misses the inner posts but goes between the outer ones, it's a "behind" and one point.

A "mark" is, basically, a pass (kick) reception; the pass has to go at least 15 meters. The guy who takes the mark gets a free kick from the point of the mark, or he can play on.

That's about all I know. :blush:

Look for "Mark of the year" at YouTube if you wanna see some good stuff. :thumbsup:

9. Where are you catching it on teevee?

I haven't seen Footy on the tube in years. ESPN used to show it, but that was back when they showed tractor pulls.

Not that it matters, since I'm cable-deprived. But I'm curious.

12. It's on way too much at my house -- Fox Sports World

You have to pay for just about the most expensive channel package possible and support Rupert Murdoch just to get the friggin' Premier League games just to watch Tottenham lose yet again...

Sorry, just swallowed my bitter pill, can you tell? :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Ah, yup

If I wanna get any Faux Sprots Nut channel besides Faux Sprots Bay Area, I gotta order The Most Expensive Cable/Satellite Package — which means I don't get to watch the Dodgers unless I want to refi the house. :grr:

5. Other - Depends

Now that i'm fat and glued to my couch...Probably NFL

When I was in college and out getting drunk and being rowdy in the stands and hitting on girls at the parties and bar's afterwards...College

When I was in high school and would go to the game to be too nervous to talk to the girls we were checking out?...High School.

8. College football is the BEST

Especially Michigan -- Go Blue!

[Broken_Hero]

10. I like both

college and nfl...but went with college because I can see/watch more games...:) My only gripe with the college system is the BCS, its the most skewered disgusting thing in c. football. As for the the NFL...I can hardly ever catch a Hawks game, but with them winning more, hopefully they will be showing more of their games on teevee...its a sad day, when my team is the superbowl loser, and yet, I can't find any gear anywhere, my hawks, nor the NW gets no respect...

:cry:
