Futbol is Spanish (I think) for football in relation to the game known in Canada and the U.S. as "soccer" and in most of the rest of the English-speaking world as "association football."

What we call soccer was the origin of all games now known as football. First it evolved into rugby, although the new sport grew alongside the original game. That's also what happened when rugby evolved into the Canadian and American brands of football. Gaelic and Australian football, I think, took elements from both soccer and rugby.

There are also many other variations and/or combinations of soccer, rugby and football played around the world. When Australian and Irish teams play each other, for instance, they do so under "international" rules agreed upon by both of their national federations. There's also something called "universal" football, a combination of Australian football and rugby, and "Austus," a mixture of Australian and American football.

Sure, Laval rolled over Acadia, but Acadia was only ranked #10 because you've gotta rank an Atlantic team somewhere in there.

I don't think that's true.

I you look at the rankings throughout the 10 weeks, Acadia was ranked in the top 10 four times, and as high as sixth one week.

In the other six weeks there wasn't a team from the Atlantic Conference represented.

Oh, and I think it'll be a good game. Go Huskies!

Yeah, I didn't exactly mean that I guess, I didn't actually check the rankings for all 10 weeks. I just meant that Saskatchewan had the tougher opponent in the semis.

Hey wait, doesn't your son play for Acadia?
