I have a question for you non-Americans, I heard somewhere that only Americans get as much excited for watching college sports as they do national league sports. Is that true?

[Inkie]

The better question is if the kid throw it backward on purpose or not

(prob not but still.....)

Or what actually happened during Pasan's day

Probably. Nobody outside the sports clubs really seemed to give a about the York-Lancaster Roses Tournament when I was there and that's apparently the biggest between two universities in Europe...

[Ferdiad]

I don't think anyone gives a about school sports here. Then again there's no allure of "amateur" seeing as the whole of the GAA is amateur.

We don't have much of a college/uni sports league here, even lower amateur football leagues are more popular. Although this is mostly because the universities, as in the institutions, don't really have their own teams. They are teams of students more than that of the institution itself.

No such thing here.

[Hydrazine]

Yeah, you see, in the Old World, people get into universities by means of their knowledge, rather than being good at sports (especially ones that aren't really relevant beyond US borders)

[Derpy Hooves]

No such thing here.

​What, you don't have sports in Greece

[Ferdiad]

They have Olmpiakos.

[Hobbes]

​What, you don't have sports in Greece

Universities don't have sports teams.

They have Olmpiakos.

I'm Panathinaikos and them be fighting words.

[the new username]

I remember seeing panathinaikos in CL when I was a kid
Looks like they disappeared from the competition since then

[Ferdiad]

O wow your logo is a shamrock.

[Hobbes]

Damn right it is. Btw, I just found out that many Greeks are 9/11 truthers and moon landing conspiracy theorists. This is a facet of Greek society that was previously unknown to me, despite having lived amongst Greeks my entire life. I must investigate further.

​Then I bet they are also believers that Osama bin Laden wasn't assassinated

Let me guess, those are also the Greeks that vote for Golden Dawn.

[Makrell]

They probaly voted for Obama, those truthers. They shouldnt trust the grand maester Sheen

We don't even have college teams over here but nobody gives a crap about youth teams in general unless it's an international competition or something and even then it's more like "oh look we won/lost, how quaint"

[Makrell]

Quiant is suck a weird word. both nonmeaning and pretensious all at the same time.

So british

[Ferdiad]

Nah a better example is "bobbins". I'd heard some english commentators and some older people here in ireland saying it. Gets me everytime.

[High Fist]

A bobbin is what girls use to tie their hair back.

[Niles Crane]

WTF will you ba a wineselling consultant?

No, all I do is trail after him and assist him in lifting heavy boxes of wine and cataloguing the ones he's selling. It's interesting, though! He used to work for IBM and has only ever collected wine as a hobby. He lost a lot of money in the GFC which I presume is the reason he's selling his wine. Also, he has a bottle of Maderia dating back to 1848 but he has no interest in selling it, despite the fact that it could go to auction for up to $500 000. I wish I could make that kind of choice. Sell or drink a rare bottle of wine almost 200 hundred years old. Hmmm...
