In reply to the discussion: Rugby vs American 'football' [View all]OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)37. I was born in Tallahassee
where my mom and dad met at FSU and my grandpa was there getting his master's so I'm a Seminoles fan since birth.
BUT I grew up in Dallas so I also developed a healthy love for for Southwest Conference football. I always liked watching your Razorbacks play - they always seemed to be high energy, exciting games. Also I'm a bit of a contrarian and since EVERYone I knew was a Texas or Oklahoma fan I liked rooting for the other teams. Still, if they aren't playing FSU I will be cheering for the former SWC teams on most days.
But I'll watch NFL all day too. Cowboys for life!

Both soccer and rugby move at about 4 times the speed of American "football".
