I miss the Barcelona Dragons. 

So do I. I remember that USA Today was a sponsor and we were handed out issues at the games. That was puzzling in retrospect

They tried to resurrect them in the European Football League, but they folded again last year. It was a bit ridiculous, they couldn't event play in Barcelona because the Olympic Stadium had Barça as a tennant while the Camp Nou was remodelled.

Pretty sure I still have some shirts and merch stashed somewhere of the original Dragons at my parents' home.

Only college sports I have watched is Ivy League football, which admittedly even in my ignorance didn't seem a great standard.

Granted, the Lions were particularly not great. IIRC they had losing seasons every single year I was over there. But since actual NFL football was simply prohibitive, it was the best thing I had available. Fond memories.

the Ivy League was originally the IV League because it had only four teams.

I recently learned that Justice Roger Taney of Dred Scott fame voted in favor of the slaves in the Amistad case.

I just learned Terry Farrel, who played Dax in DS9, was married to Leonard Nimoys son.
