Field Hockey

I tuned into the Big Ten Network to watch a replay of last weeks' Iowa-Arizona football game. What a disappointment to find out the game was replaced with a showing, a replay too, of an Iowa-Michigan women's field hockey game. I watched exactly four minutes of it before I jumped off my rooftop; headfirst. This is not a game. It's torture. Think soccer with sticks and you know the game. The sticks used to hit the balls are too short for the players and they bend over at the waist when running and hitting.
Did you know that field hockey, aka lacrosse, was invented by the Indians? That would be Indians, American style. As I recall it was some time around 1650 AD that two tribes, Algonquin or Iroquois, invited some colonials to watch their match. In those days the hockey sticks weren't fiberglas. They were sticks with a rock on the end. The naive colonists went to the event and, much to their surprise, had their skulls caved in. And that's the truth.
