My apologies to all for taking some of this seriously :) AT>Since when has a druid ever used their brains "a druid"..."brains" - we've got more than one? EACH by your grammar! tho' 'tis more likely that you mean between us? AT> and adjusted their playing style? As a team: 1) "Ignore Adam" offence, 2) "Adam and Karl do their stuff" offence 3) "Keep Adam off the pitch at all costs" O or D 4) iron man, utilising a junk D at Monkfest'96 to destroy a 21 strong Monks team something horrible... 5) same tourney, playing zone D, our off-point heads for the endzone after 5 passes [yes, we *were* still on D, and yes, most times we scored] 6) training nearly half of those UTI boys for a year or so, getting it into their heads that they *could* beat Shotgun if they played right, and then letting them go away and do it! Personally: I've played for other teams (even UTI! anyone else remember the days when they'd rarely throw *forwards* ?). I've learnt something from each of them... but they don't have the same entertainment factor as the Druids! AT> Remind me the last time Druids dazzled us with a new and effective AT> style? Some of the above, which are unique to the Druids (obviously!) and the alledged "SlimBoy" offense, as seen at Leicester (tho' most of us would agree with that being a figment of someone's deranged imagination) Nope, you're right - like most teams, we borrow or modify someone else's plays AT> Who can remember the last time Druids beat UTI. I refer you to Alan Baldwin's comment (after all, the indoor games don't count, so it doesn't matter if you won them, right?) AT> I'm not having some "Piltdown Man" Retter Personal insults! Cool! AT> calling us stupid. I'm not calling you stupid! I'm pointing out that the other teams are/seem more intelligent! AT> Your right Wayne, check out our endzone celebrations next time we AT> play you, especially the one involving bagels...
