French Military version of Football

[Flipper]

The Bruins are about to play the 'Cats. Since UCLA football (along with hoops) is not very good, do you guys care to wager a bit?

Calling on Global Cat. Come on, say something about this week-end's football game.

[Jason Scheer]

You know this game shouldn't be touched. Ill bet a sig just for fun though

I'll bet you a nickel that Arizona beats the spread.

That's really going out on a limb. Still waiting for Global Cat.

[beardownbaby]

What's the latest spread?

Ok, ok, I am here. Let's bet a sig line.

We win, your sig is my choice. We lose, my sig is your choice.

Simple as that, no spread.

:robevans: :dirk:


And for the first shot fired, UCLA might be rated #8, but the French had the world's largest military multiple times and still got whooped by small and more disciplined armies. Prussians, Austrians, Brits, etc.

If UCLA football = the French, Arizona = Sierra Leone

[scumdevils86]

whoa there bud...don't be trash talkin sierra leone. you don't know what you're dealing with. they are viscious. and global is so right...oh so right. france is horrible. even in WW2 their army was larger and had more planes and armor and a great defensive system...yet they did what? oh yeah lost to hitler in a month. i could draw analogies from football and warfare all day long! (by the way if this was any other game i'd be rooting for ucla all the way..this is the only time you'd see me go against them)

A little guy named Napoleon had all of Europe shaking for a long, long time. Besides, without the Frenchies, we probably wouldn't have won the War of 1812.

Charlemagne was tops for awhile. Also, read up on Joan of Arc. Plus, the Normans, the eventual rulers of the UK, were of French stock.

I agree on the bet. UCLA will win hands down.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Norman = North man. They were derived from Norse stock during the raiding/trading/colonizing period from around 600-800 A.D. They assimulated with Frankish locals during that period. Then they realized they were living next to the French and so moved to England. :)

IIRC, no one won the war of 1812, the US's biggest win was actually after the war ended. The French actually helped us more in the Revolutionary War, but only after they saw that Britian was mired here.

They also sold us Louisiana for a song and a dance. I have no love for the French, but they did have a decent military history.

[GlobalCat]

Ok, I took the bet, zero spread, and it looks like I won, mightily. Too sleepy to put your sig together, but I'll pass it along shortly.

[claudia]

Dude, I lost a bet with GlobalCat once and it wasn´t pretty.
Good luck Flipper! :)

[WildcatPaulG]

Flipper, you better pay up. Otherwise, you should be banned on principle.

[xethw]

Where's the Siggie? I wanna see it! How about Billy Thomas the FSN announcer's line at the end of the game?

"Their dream season has simply been destroyed. In every sense of the word."

[Wolfman Duke]

The French are a bunch of pansies. Nazi Germany kicked their butts in just a few weeks. Hitler was so paralyzed by his success, he lost out on bringing Britain down as well.

Gotta put that sig up though.

Been gone for a couple of days. Whow, what an utter embarrasment. That frosh QB's going to be pretty good.

GC, I guess I have to wait for the sig, eh?

[BillsCarnage]

Look at Paul, in the banning mode today.

[WildcatPaulG]

Wow... an ASU education and he can actually read that I said that five days ago, but claimed it was today...

:lol2: Bills, you've become the epitome of an ASU fan.

[GlobalCat]

Here's your signature:

UCLA = ASU = Horse's Ass.

No worries though! The gap is closing!

[GlobalCat]

HEY UCLA FANS..... did you ever pay up?

[MrBug708]

I never bet

[GlobalCat]

Looks like Flipper is in for sure. TucsonDon and 11Banners are in the gray area... TD wanted in but never committed and 11B made some noise but never committed either.
