Texas High School Football

[AntiochusIII]

This was seriously a Frontroom topic, together with all the peace and love and sissy sportsmen under protective Medieval armor that comes with it. Unacceptable. I'll have to politicize it myself, then, and preferably with a good mixture between short, flaming one-liners and long-winded nonsensical rants.

But I'm bored so only the one-liners today!

...

This is not real Football. (first one-liner)

American Rugby-ripoff sucks. Wimps. (second one-liner)

Texas sucks. (third, dramatically apocalyptic one-liner)



There you go. Flame away!

Of course I am joking

Actually, this is a religious topic.

Having lived there, I can assure you that a Texan's devotion to her/his high school football team is a fully spiritual experience and the weekly gathering better attended than those Sunday mass thingees.

I read in the Austin American Statesman once that the state high school championship was played in the Cotton Bowl with 37k in attendence. I was stunned. I then read the blurb further and learned that that was for the AA level (smaller schools) championship -- the AAA draws more.

Yay for both versions of football! Since I play both, I can confidently tell you that soccer (football) has found a way to render american football to its knees. Kickers! Yes Kickers! Those often hated, shuned, ignored players, who are also one of the most important positions are often soccer players, including myself. Without soccer, american football would be a sad specitical of inhumainly bad kicks and easy run backs. Long live the 40 and 50 yard field goals and 60 plus yard kickoffs that only soccer players can render unto american football!
