Beefy's corner- the place for off topic stuff

Not bad, could do much worse. I'd run with that and see what happens.

 

They've won 4 this season! They've also lost 4.

 

Sound enough. I love my Colts almost as much as I do Southampton. Celebrated the Colts victory over Packers the same way I did in the 3-2 vs Millwall.

 

Cool, now to learn how the game is played.

 

Doug Martin is insane, so glad I have him in my fantasy team

 

I'm so glad I'm playing against him.

 

So does anyone like lacrosse here, or is it just me?

 

Just you Samantha.

 

Yay it caught on!

 

Slightly controversial team to some but a good team, on their day can beat anyone and have one of the toughest, meanest defenses in the league.

I love the Eagles but probably a bit off of Saints really. With having such a strong connection to Saints, lived here all my life and been going to games since I was tiny, I love the Eagles but living 3000 miles away and only supporting them for 2 or 3 years means they don't quite compare. Maybe some day.

It seems like an interesting sport but from the outside a rather baffling one, but the closest I've probably come to watching it is American Pie.

 

Cracking little fake field goal from the Steelers there, didn't work though unfortunately, not even close, but I love seeing brave play-calling like that!

 

To be honest, I didn't know anything about Lacrosse until I happened to see a game taking place one weekend on Campus and I was like "oh my goodness, what is this amazing sport!", then a bit later I watched a bit of a game between University of Notre Dame and someone else and it looked epic. Had I known about lacrosse, I so would have tried out for the team. I have good reflexes, so I could be a goalie maybe. During the Olympics at Hyde Park, they had a sports taster arena where you could try out different sports each day. One day they had lacrosse and despite just being a bunch of kids and just having tried a few skills for a few minutes, when they had a taster match, even then it looked pretty fun.

 

I played lacrosse for two seasons. Fun sport, but hated the people/culture. If you ever watched John C. Hughes movies in the 80's where the villain was always some rich preppy, popular athlete? Those are the kind of guys who play lacrosse. Pretty easy sport to pick up as a fan. More or less soccer with sticks.

Interesting fact which you may not know: Jim Brown is regarded by many to have been better at lacrosse than at football, and some consider him the greatest lacrosse player of all time.

 

I remember on Move-In Day for Freshers last year, I was bombarded by Lacrosse players telling me to join the team. Needless to say, I ignored them, along with the Christian Society.

 

My girlfriend was approached not at the sports and societies fair but later on in the SU by the pole dancing society, she wasn't sure whether to take it as a compliment or insult. I was disappointed they didn't ask me, you don't get enough pole dancers with beards nowadays.

 

I've played Lacrosse once, in P.E. in College....I was surprisingly good and got a couple of goals. Its' quite fun, but I prefer Ultimate Frisbee.

 

Disc golf, ftw!

 

I've always liked the Steelers, since my days of playing Madden 03. I need to get back into NFL really.

 

Wow, I wasn't really following the Bucs Raiders game, but knew Doug Martin was having a good one, but not that good. Huge year for rookie running backs. Martin, Morris and Richardson all look very likely to pass 1000 yards and 10 TDs. Then you can even throw RGIII in there too who could also easily be sniffing 1000 if he continues at his current pace.
