It always seems to come down to the same thing and same strategy for every team. Get your sprinters to get in close, making sure...

If you are interested in football, especially in college football, read on to learn some interesting insight into the roots of the game. In the 1890s college football had already created strong emotions of love and hate. Big-time eastern football had demonstrated that it could draw large crowds, create alumni support, and build an identity that would attract new students. The fact that it had little to do with classical education bothered only the traditionalists on campus and a handful of crotchety purists elsewhere who wrote critically of football in magazines, newspaper articles, and official college reports.

GELDING After being castrated a male or colt horse is said to have been "gelded". There are a variety of reasons behind this seemingly rather harsh practice.

Even more practical for National Hunt, gelding can prevent the extreme discomfort experienced by "entire" horses when jumping over hard fences, historically made from birch. Irish horses intended for chasing are gelded automatically at...
