Fear not kdf5, once you get beyond the extra guy, the motion, the field size and the down, the games are basically identical. Fundamentals, from scoring (you guys down south should really think about the single point thing, it really spices up the game!) to blocking, tackling and field position..all the same.
I have often thought that the US game, NFL in particular, would really benefit most by incorporating the Canuck field size (110x65+20yd EZ) to give the many extraordinary athletes south of the border some room to move. It would be impossible to do that of course as no NFL club would ever agree to taking out even one seat, even if it made the game better, but I think it's a little like going back to your grade school and seeing the room and the desks and the water fountains in minature because you doubled in size. When you think about it, in Vince Lombardi's day an average lineman was 6'1', 230-250 and these days....yikes, anybody under 300 in the trench is considered a circus midget! And the skill guys...think of what they could do with some extra elbow room!
Just a thought.
BTW, yeah, Dean Wormer (Dean of Faber College) was a real SOB, but it was worth the trouble if you could get a few moments alone with Mrs. Wormer, eh?
