That's all it takes to get something started....

With some trigger-happy folks, yes.

              Did you watch that match yesterday between the pro team from Washington state and New England? I just watched the ending as it looked interesting. I learned one thing though. You have to pass the ball backwards to go forward. This so far is the only thing I know about rugby other than you have to be tough and don't want to be on the bottom of the dogpile. 

The basic principle of attack in rugby is the same as basketball. Draw the defenders to you, then get the ball to the man that has space and time to attack. Backwards passes and controlled release of the ball in a pile up (ruck) are two prime methods.

It took me years to understand, as I had not started as a child. In many other countries, things are different. Children in the USA grow up watching basketball and football. When they begin they recognize the goal and some techniques. To understand the difference, watch children from Spain try to learn basketball.

Between now and November, I hope all of you consider these things.

1. Not everyone on this board agrees with one another.

2. From what I have read, most of us are passionate about what we believe.

3. More than one of us have no governor on our speech.

4. Someone always "goes there."

5. Sadly, many view this world as "us" versus "them."

Based on the above, think before you start topics. Where will this head? Think before you post on a thread. Of course what you say will be right, but do you really need to say it that way? Do you really need to say it at all?

Having said the above, who really believes the Jayhawks will beat the Tigers this season?

Listen here counselor.  You're one good feller.  Post a picture of those Tulsa Lawyer boots please.  I'm in the mood for a distraction - a fun one.  So come on. 

Thank goodness for spell check which saved me the imbarassmint of misspelling hear.
