ORIGINAL: DaveB Heck I know about this stuff, from watching your (US) cable TV channels... it's that sort of rugby game isn't it, where everyone puts on more body armour than the Army do to actually go to war, and there are about 50 guys in each team who keep wandering on and off the pitch? My money's on the Yankees then - huge odds, but what a payoff if they win! (I am slightly confused by one thing - my 'local' team seems to change between 'Dolphins' and 'Seminoles' - are the two interchangeable, or haven't I quite mastered, completely, the subject?) Dave... re your last question... The Seminoles are the team consisting of student/athletes at Florida State University (known as Free Shoes University in some circles). There is a team at each of the major colleges/universities in the US. The Dolphins are the professional team based in Miami (that plays in the National Football League). Most of the players on the college teams aspire to receiving a contract to play in the NFL, but since there are several hundred college teams out there and only (I think) 28 NFL teams most of those college players do not go on to play in the NFL. In the US there are thos ewho prefer to follow the college game, those who prefer the professional game and those who are nuts about both. I fall in the first group. EDIT: the college and professional teams DO NOT play against each other.
