Questions posed to an American at Canterbury Boys High School

As promised in early December, I have a list of questions I was frequently asked by students at CBHS. Before that, I want to draw attention to the photo. Please note my official locker room Longhorn National Championship shirt (courtesy Paul and Marty) and my double Matthew McConaughey reverse hook 'em. And the tan (courtesy Coogee Beach). I did get to watch the game, but in the company of fifteen USC fans. Good thing Texas won, or it could have been ugly. It was nice to talk football with people who understand the language. Now on to the questions.
