ArcticKnight,

Pretty good points IMO, but you're fighting an uphill battle. A lot of people prefer the tradition of the Ryder Cup, the fact that the seemingly underdog Europeans keep defying logic time and again. Plus their chemistry and energy is way more fun to witness than the stodgy President's Cup squad.

It's like dogs and cats, people seem forced to pick one or the other. Why can't I like both? So I choose to like these both for what they are. Tomorrow I'm golfing 36 holes so I'm bummed to be missing it, but I'll be recording all ten hours or whatever and really look forward to watching it when I get home.

I kind of like the Ryder Cup. I know there is too much patriotic "rah-rah" going on and it's really just an exhibition, but I like seeing these guys under the ultimate pressure. I mean, do you think you'll ever see Mark Calcavecchia openly weeping after a President's Cup match?
