In America, it sucks to have someone the same as you. That's why people go apes on the highway when the car next to them is going the same speed. They can go faster (in which case they are a "maniac") or they can go slower (in which case they are an "idiot"). But NO ONE is allowed to go exactly the same speed!! (courtesy of George Carlin)

It's creepy and I was going that speed first.

Y'all don't deserve football over there, I seen a stadium full of bandwagon fans, they was quiet as a tennis match. We definitely did not have any kind of advantage.

A draw/tie is like kissing your sister. No spark, no fire. At least I hope.

Trust me, when the Washington kicker made the game winning kick but Bengals coach had called time out. Then on second try he missed the kick....I was more than happy for the tie as opposed to what should have been a loss.

College Hockey can end in a tie.
College football stopped ties in 1996.
