Is this thread about Football or that bad American version of Rugby?

American Football, division 1 college style 
Never heard of this game. I guess it's one which relies on skill in connecting foot to ball?

It does require that skill at times. Yes.
But less than rugby does.
I would say American Football is a more structured, more developed form of rugby. From what I've seen of rugby it's about the same, only the kicking game, liked most things in American Football is a set play, rather than in the flow of the match like in rugby.
The kicking game in Rugby can be a set play, for penalties and conversions. Personally, I prefer rugby over
that American game because there are less set-plays: it has more flow to it (and also because the players are skillful enough to play safely without 6 inches of protective clothing

).
Anyway, apologies for hijacking this thread, I'll let you get on with discussing your sport in peace.
