    My First American Football Game! UF v UM

    September 9, 2024 /

    By Lucie Rowell, University of Florida, United States Now, I would not consider myself an American football fan, but this weekend may have changed my mind! I got tickets to the most sought-after game, the University of Florida versus the University of Miami (which was also the first game of the season). The crowds were huge, similar to the size of Wembley Stadium—insane to say it is college football! I got chatting to people that had come from all over Florida to come and watch this game, which made me feel that much more lucky that I was there to witness it.

    Fight on, Trojans!: Tales of a Mancunian Lost in the City of Angels

    May 10, 2024 /

    By David Sustana, University of Southern California, United States Hey from Southern California! Just wanted to update everyone on a really fun weekend that I had at USC. Today was the day of the big, annual rivalry (American!) football game between arch-rivals USC (go Trojans!) and UCLA (boo Bruins!). And let me tell you, the energy on and around campus was electric. I’d say it rivals (or, dare I say, surpasses) that of a Man City versus Man United game. But there are some pretty big differences between an English football game and an American college football game.
