Woo hoo, I won two tickets to a Notre Dame vs. Cardinals Football game. I’ve been wanting to go to a Football game for awhile, better yet, it’s Notre Dame. I won the tickets by putting my name in the raffle, I didn’t think I would win, but I just wanted to try. My parents don’t usually let me go to Football games, they say, “it’s a waste of money, and time.”
It usually causes an argument, but now since I won two tickets, I don’t have to worry about that, but who do I take? The next day, I went to school and I asked my friend Junior if he wanted to come to the Notre Dame Football game with me tomorrow, and he said yes. He asked me who they were versing, and I said The Cardinals. Junior said “that would be a good game, but first I have to

In the 1800s.” He got the idea of the sport by combining Rugby and Soccer together. The sport became popular in Canada and the US in the 1800’s.

In the Mapp vs Ohio state court case, the issue disputed was when the appellant Dollree Mapp was convicted of possessing “obscene” materials after an illegal police search of her home for a fugitive. During the year of 1961, Ohio police were looking for a criminal accused of a bombing and had been told that he was hiding in Dollree Mapp 's house. Police acted quickly and came to her house but when she didn 't answer the door, police officers forced themselves inside. Dollree demanded to see the police 's search warrant once having spoken to her attorney but police didn’t have one so they held a piece of paper to disguise that it was a warrant when it really wasn’t. Dollree grabbed the paper and when trying to read it, she was then handcuffed on the ground and police continued to search her house (Landmark cases). During the search, officers found pornography and other materials that were against Ohio State law in her basement. As a result, Dollree was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to 1 to 7 years in the Ohio Women 's Reformatory. Dollree felt that justice was unfair so she consulted with her attorney. “She appealed her conviction on the basis of freedom of expression” (Oyez). Dollree’s lawyers argued to the Supreme Court of Ohio that she should never have been brought to trial because the material evidence resulted from an illegal (warrantless) search and how it was illegally obtained. “In its ruling, the Supreme Court of Ohio

Many compare the National Football League (NFL) with college football but the two are not extremely similar and should never be compared. Yes, besides a few minor rule changes the NFL and college football are the same game; but there is much more to football then the rules. College football is better than the NFL for a wide variety of reasons. First, there exists more passion in college football all around the sport. Passion cannot be measured in anyway but can be observed and understood by the fans, coaches, and sports community. Players care more about the game and less about money, while the fans have great passion for the university they

As I sat there and looked at it a little longer to believe that I actually got 5 tickets to the LSU football game. When I looked at my parents with a surprised look on my face, they knew that those tickets were worth the money. When I pulled them out of the card, they were shiny with a football player on the front. My brother and sister were shocked too because they were going to an LSU football game also. As I looked closer at the tickets, I saw that the date for the game was October 26, 2013, which is three days before my birthday. That’s when I figured out why they gave it to
Imagine sitting down in the comforts of your home, relaxing on the couch, and eating your favorite junk food while playing your favorite video game. What if you 're actually playing as yourself on the newest NCAA football or basketball game. Wouldn 't that be awesome? Believe it or not it didn 't seem that awesome when Ed O 'Bannon, a former UCLA power forward, had a realization. O 'Bannon wondered why he wasn 't getting any compensation for being on the video game who had duplicated his image onto the game. As time went on and more athletes, past and present, were added as plaintiffs the case started to evolve. Not only did the case involve the NCAA video games, but the NCAA brand as a whole. Colleges make a fortune off athletes who in turn play in hopes of a professional career; however, even though athletes who play in college are granted a scholarship many struggle to pay for things such as laundry or food. Although the court ruled that NCAA violated it 's anti-trust laws in making the video games, the court still ruled in favor of amateurism in sports after the appeal of granting $5,000 payments to athletes. So the question still remains, should college athletes be paid to play? I propose that college athletes get a percentage of the profit directly from the Colleges based upon how much the specific sport profits within the Association.

My brother Andrew is in High School and he is in National Honor Society. Once every month they go and clean Highway 80 and pick up all the trash around it. Well one time when they went a lot of people were on vacation and they were trying to get other people to fill in. They kept on trying to get other people but, everybody was saying that they were too busy. Then, Andrew asked me what I was going to be doing and I said "Nothing" then he said "Do you want to come help us clean Highway 80?" I said "Sure. What time?" Andrew said "Right now." So I went and got dressed we hopped in his car and drove to the High School. When everybody got to the High School we started walking down Highway 80 picking every piece
This lopsided matchup earned “Big Ten Game of the Day” honors solely because of the showcase status that it brings.
Sub-point 1: Football has been a sport I began playing at a very young age, at 10 years old to be exact. It all began when my brother wanted to play a game with his older friends but were short of players, so he invited some of the younger neighborhood kids, myself included, to play. Ever since that one game, we had begun to organize these football games. Just to be clear, these games would take place in our alleyway as it was the closest empty open area. Our games would start roughly around 4pm considering school didn’t end until 2pm and yet still had homework to complete. Either way, we’d play until dark when we were no longer able to see the
