Go Denver Bulldogs. 2009 Australian Football USA National champs.In Mason, Ohio Denver beat the Seattle Grizzlies by just three points one goal for Seattle would have sealed the game but Denver were just too good on the day.

What do you guys think on Jim Tracy of the Rockies and Mike Scioscia (sp?) of the Angels being the coaches of the year in baseball?

Thanks for the ND preview, Big Ro. JRPO, thanks for posting the pictures.

For those interested: I have posted a preview of Saturdays contest between ND andn UConn.

JRPO, thanks for the Australian Football links. I have never played rugby, but I sure enjoyed it the one time I watched my high school's rugby team play a game. Fun sport.

Thanks for the updates on the Army/Navy game(s), mslinda.

Hey everybody. Get ready for a great rivalry game. Here is an update on NCAA schedule: the Army/Navy game has been pushed back to be played the second Saturday in December for the next several seasons, in Philadelphia. This year it will be played on December 12. For those keeping a game win total: Navy-53 wins, and Army--49 wins. Everybody watch on December 12, it will be a great game. This year the network is giving the game its own historical weekend.
Go Navy Midshipmen!

Hey Big RO

Glad you enjoyed the Rugby. Just in case you are interested Australian football is being played at an amateur level in the United States these days. There is a web site. You can go there and buy Balls or even find a football club near you and people that want to start Australian football teams in the United States can do that on this web site.
If you feel like it, check it out on the link below.
If you do let me know what you think.

Anyone living in the ArkLaTex area? There is a team "war" going on. The local TV channel is running a vote as to which team games to air in this area--Dallas Cowboys or NO Saints. It is close, but the Cowboys are in the lead, because East Texas is allowed to vote. I am a fan of both teams. I say this to those living in the area and want to vote----vote for the team that is in your state. This will promote state income, and tourism. Thanks.

Hey JRPO,

I used to watch Australian rules football years ago. I worked in the restaurant biz and got home late. So, I guess the time difference had something to do with it. It was pretty cool. Somewhere between American football and Rugby. I played a little Rugby back in the day, but I wasn't very good at it. It was good fun though.
