    I had a lot of fun with some Aussie friends in VungTau Vietnam on an R&R.

    Can I get the Tasmanian beers at Cotsco?

    I had a torrid love affair with a hot little firecracker from Perth while in the military.

    I'm an international player pimp

  • He'd be one of the quickest athletes in Australia in small bursts, not sure exactly how fast as it's not really a measurement used often (as hilariously put in your post 😉 ). Reggie Bush watched him play and said this.

    I have recently made the switch from League to Gridiron, and it's not easy, not used to getting hit from behind, and the plays are significantly more complicated.

    I didn't even notice this post. Keep this in mind, there are good athletes then there are good football players. The former are people with great physical blessings and the later those with the mindset, toughness and instincts. The latter is constantly more successful. A great football player is a combination of these two. This game is far more cerebral than is given credit for outside of America. Which, I can understand. To many other countries its a game in pads where large men just run full speed at each other and collide. That cannot be further from the truth. In my experience as I've played soccer, basketball and football (though football I took a bit further in life) that football (gridiron) is, IMHO, the greatest collective TEAM sport in the world.

    It requires not only intense preparation physically, but mentally as well. 11 men have to be working in sync otherwise things can go horribly awry.

    No problems my American brother, have to share the love. 😉

    You actually cannot get Fosters in Australia, from what I have heard from Aussie mates that have had it in the UK, they say it

    's the worst beer on earth and it's a shame it represents us. Tasmanian beer is the best, Boags Premium Lager is an export to the US I believe, now that is a beer.

    Haven't had any beer from Tasmania- yet. One pretty nice cheese called Roaring 40s Blue. I agree Foster's "oil can" tastes like it has oil in it. One of my favorite brews is Steinlager from New Zealand- but I haven't seen any in Ohio in a long time.

    As the Board's resident wino- I have a fair acquaintance with Aussie vineyards.

    And welcome.

    Tudeski,

    Never thought till now to ask... are there any American Football clubs in Australia?

    Foster's is nasty...

    Not big on Aussie wines... Kim Crawford's UnOaked Chard was a regular a couple years ago, but no longer...

  • Fosters must be the best sold lager in England, and it is horrible.

    Yeah! We even have a national team called "The Outback". Doesn't mean we are any good though 😉

    Thanks mate, haha Australians just love voilence.

    Part of our convict history I guess 😉 The English are fools, you'd think you would move everyone to Australia who wasn't a criminal, and leave the criminals in the shit weather!

  • Now you have to make it over here for a game, tailgate, & fun vacation!

    Mike

  • I intend to one day, also chose the Akron Zips (Kangaroo Mascot, made sense) as my college team, so I'll have a few games to go along to!
