When I was little we lived in Michigan and my Dad would listen to the game on the radio every night they played. I am still a Tigers fan till this day. Also with football - I love football too, lol! I do know the downs stuff: Basically they have 4 tries to get the ball 10 yards down the field. So when they say 1st and 10 - it means it is their first attempt to move the ball 10 yards, and the 10 means they have 10 yards to go. So for example if they say it is 2nd and 3 it means they are on their 2nd attempt and they have 3 yards to go to reach a total of 10 yards. Once they make it the 10 yards then they have 4 attempts again to move 10 more yards and they keep doing this until they make a touchdown, punt the ball, or go for a field goal. Most of the time if they have alot of yards to go on the 4th attempt they will either go for a field goal (if they are close enough to the goal) or just punt the ball. They usually punt the ball because they want to have the other team start on the opposite side of the field. Also with the downs, if you ever see like 1st and goal it means they are within 5 yards *I think* of the goal. :) There are so many other rules, but once you learn the downs the games become even more fun to watch, seriously, I am such a huge football fan because I finally learned the downs. :) <em>Heather's last blog post..<a href='http://hopefilledmom.com/index.php/please-pray-for-me/' rel="nofollow">Please Pray for Me</a></em> I love the Tigers.
