How did college football teams travel to their away games in the 1860s to 1930s?
Filed Under Football (American) | 15 Comments
I know that the first college football games were more related to rugby and soccer. And the first intercollegiate game was held on November 6, 1869 and was between Rutgers and Princeton. How did the Princeton football team get to Rutgers? How did the other college football teams arrive at their games?

What’s the difference between American Football and Canadian Football?
Filed Under Football (American) | 5 Comments
The two games look very alike to me and I am presuming there are some differences. Otherwise why bother to call them different names. Also, some of the American players wear funny looking kind of apron things and I have no idea what these are for. I used to play rugby myself and to some people its just as hard to figure out as American/Canadian football. Thanks for the info.

How do you keep a football in tacky grip?
Filed Under Other - Sports | 1 Comment
A few months ago, I had a Wilson Ultra football. When I first got it, it was amazingly grippy. Now, after weekly usage in grass fields, sometimes muddy, the ball is now incredibly slippery, to the point that it is impossible to pump-fake.
I bought another ball, a Nike 1205. This is quite better, and it hasn’t lost much tackiness yet, but I am interested in preventing further slippage.
Is there any way to keep a football tacky? Any special way to clean it? Prevent extreme weather?

What is the most overrated football (soccer) league in the world?
Filed Under Other - Soccer | 8 Comments
Some say Italian, some say Spanish, some say Argentinian ! People have many opinions about the best football league there is, in my eyes the German Bundesliga & Italian Serie A are definitely the best and most enjoyable, but on the other hand i find the English Primer League to be with no doubt, the most overrated league on earth, slow, boring, not really interesting, and gets all that attention! For what?
Don’t get me wrong now, i believe that the top English clubs are very strong, but that does not make the Primer League interesting.
What do you think? Which football league is the most overrated of all?

I’ve joined freshman football and man does it wear me out. I just want to know what kinds of things other schools do during the freshman year of football.

Why is football being referenced with the likes of baseball and basketball concerning corruption?
Filed Under Football (American) | 4 Comments
In sporting news across the last couple days, a lot of sports writers refer to professional sports as being corrupted. The long time steroid issue in baseball, Spygate in football and now the officiating scandals in basketball.
Why should football be even in the same category when it was one incident concerning one organization that made the wrong decision. The other two are substantially more significant because they pertain to multiple incidents among various players and officials in multitude of games. The fact is the Patriots have been punished and the incident is over. Whereas in baseball and basketball these incidents their incidents are far conclusion. That and the NFL’s been one of the strictest disciplinary leagues and has one of toughest drug testing policies. So why should football get all the negative publicity deserved with the rest of the professional sports?

I’m on my high school football team offensive line, but right now it’s the off season and I’m in the weight room every morning lifting, but i don’t really have a good routine going, and don’t know a lot of lifting techniques besides the classic bench press curling squats and dead lifts so if anyone has any suggestions for lifts that would build muscle as well as good weekly routines to get into.
