YouTube link here. It’s been almost a week, so I don’t remember if there’s kitties.
This week, we begin our new schedule for recording. Podcast will show up at the same time, but it will be even older and more out of date than before! Also, with no email, we talk longer than anyone should about Renaissance Fairs, and the legal obligations of sports fandom. Also the other usual stuff. Enjoy!

Iowa also plays other schools for traveling trophies. Iowa plays Minnesota for the Floyd of Rosedale trophy, now a bronze pig, but was originally a bet between the state governors for their state fair winning pigs.

School rivalries and competitions really aren’t that common in the UK. We don’t have the big focus on school sports teams that you have in the US or the obsession with being able to proclaim “we am bestest” that you do. There’s a bit more of it at university level but again not at the level you do – we don’t have uni level football (soccer) comparable to the college level American football and even the big unis don’t have massive sports stadiums. Sports scholarships also just don’t exist here. Probably the only big rivalry is Oxford Vs Cambridge and they compete against one another in multiple sports but the only one that gets any coverage is the boat race.
Yes, but if you hope to get a job, have a friend, or find a place to live, I believe you are legally required to support some sort of professional football club. 🙂
