AS for American Football. I have seen a bit of it on TV, mainly the superbowl which gets shown even here. It seems ok, like Rugby with padding. My sport is cricket, and a spot of tennis.
Dunno about greek life at Berkeley or Stanford, but UCLA does have a heavy duty Greek Life...

The American Football that you are watching is "professional"--like "Manchester United" and are commercialized... The stuff we are talking about is the "National Collegiate Athletic Association" and there are rankings that are rather far-fetched. If you attend UCLA, you'd need to know these things... Berkeley was better a couple of years ago, but now they suck. And Stanford was okay. But in the Pac-10, which is a region that sucks overall, the best team is USC Trojans--basically, UCLA's nemesis...

And for those who worship in Bracketology, welp, it only interesting during March Madness past the Final Four...

That still means, go canes!!! But I doubt it... Who's on top these days? Hayle, March Madness shifts everything...
