I was looking through some stuff, and I found a 5x7 of the following photo:
I must have wanted to frame it or something, but then forgot about it. It's from the 1999 (I think) United States Australian Football Championships. What was I doing there, along with Mike, Tom, and Joe? Frankly, I don't recall. :-) It seems both so recent and so long ago...
P.S. A common question I've heard concerning Austalian football is, "Is that like rugby?" In short, the answer is, "No." I mean, it's a contact sport played on grass with teams and a ball, like rugby. But of rugby, American football, and Australian football, the closest similarities are between rugby and American football, with Aussie rules being distinct from each of the other two.

When overseas, 100% of people to date assume I love rugby because I come from Australia. How wrong they all are! But that's the perception. I agree with you Dave, rugby is far closer to American Football than Aussie Rules is. Ours is more like Gaelic Football.
