Sprint football is a sport similar to American Football, but is played by small, weak boys. Sprint Football enforces a 172-lb weight limit, meaning the games are not entertaining. Where real football emphasizes strength and speed, sprint football focuses on giving kids who are too small (i.e. not talented enough) to play regular Division-I football a chance at dragging out their career. These players are generally non-athletic, weak, and arrogant.
"Hey look at that guy, does he play football?"
"No, he plays sprint football, he's a pussy."
Sprint football is the same thing as grade school football, except played by non-athletic college kids.

Is the game different to soccer and rugby? You bet.
No off-side for starters. Which means the game is a bit like basketball, but on a far larger arena than even soccer & rugby, and 18 a-side on the field at a time.
No cross bar. Does this make kicking goals easier. Well, yes, although the goals are narrower than soccer. And you actually have to kick them yourself, via your foot - and not be deflected off other people or goal posts.
Behinds - quite unique, or partially similar to the 'rouge' in some sports. Simple theory. Avoid drawn games. Soccer folk have thought about ways of avoiding a draw - and only lump us with penalty shoot outs in the 'big' games in tournaments. They could perhaps count corners (or only those derived within a certain distance of the goal....and then award a pt, make a 'fair' goal worth 6,....and away you go, less draws, more results....and maybe more often the best team might actually win).
Unlike soccer - all players can use their hands too....kinda cool, helps, especially youngsters, to develop the full range of co-ordination. The 'high' mark or 'speccie' is a very cool feature, and a bit more dignified than using ones head to propell the ball because the rules don't let you use your hands!! Hands also allow for picking the ball up and the feature known as 'hand-ball' or 'hand-pass'. This is a key feature in team work, especially under pressure to open up play. To achieve overlap, to create space. Y'see, the game is all about creating space, which is vitally important given that the oval shaped ground tapers inward at either end, meaning that the hardest place to find space is in the 'forward line', thus the absence of off-side is partially negated.
Australian Rules Football <> soccer

Thank god!!
Australian Rules Football = Positively geared sport - seeking to attack one's own goal, to kick goals and to win games. Don't compare to the MElb Cup (handicap), compare to the Cox Plate, a weight for age free for all.
compared to soccer and rugby = negatively geared sports, seeking to defend one's own goal, and employing restrictive handling and movement rulings to limit the ability to 'win on merit' - effectively they are the 'handicap' events - even HARNESS RACING!!!

An ACC college football program in downtown Atlanta. Most of the fans could never get in GTech if they tried, and those who can either dont know anything about football or flunk out in freshmen year.
Almost a century ago when nobody even cared about football other than Michigan and OSU, Tech was headed by coach Heisman. They won 3 of their 4 Natl titles before '53. In recent years the Yellow Jackets have been dominated by their rival UGA, losing 7 straight times '91-97 and '01-07 until the 2008 season in a fluke 3 point victory. Most fans talked crap for a full year afterwards, even though a month later they were blown out 38-3 in the Chik-Fil-A bowl by LSU, which UGA beat by 14 pts @ Baton Rouge.
Techs 2009 dream team under Paul Johnson lost once again at home to UGAs worst team of the decade (not to mention UGAs star offensive player didnt even play). Georgia Tech then went on to lose in the 2009 Orange Bowl (they did have a good record because they play mostly weak ACC teams) to Iowa, and the dream team was dead after nearly all the teams talent went pro in the 2010 NFL draft.
Georgia Tech football had their best team in 50 years for 2009 season, but Georgia still raped them and then all of Tech's talent went pro...end of story

The obsession of every redneck in the state of Alabama. Have more FAKE national championships than any other team in the country. Are followed by the largest sidewalk alum of all time. Have become 2nd fiddle to the mighty Auburn Tigers.
