Washington Huskies beat the Trojans (AKA rubbers) like a drum last Saturday.

One thing which has always interested me is the Apostle Paul visited a place called Troias or Troy as we would call it. It was named that because it was located near the ancient city of Troy and in fact it was located near where Troy actually was.
Now if these people knew where the ancient city was located, why did so many experts claim there was no such place? Also maybe they knew exactly where it was located. I wonder if there are any other records other than the Iliad to locate it. I know Schliemann used the description in the Iliad to find it.

I thought “mote” was wrong too, but when I looked it up, one of the meanings was a trench full of water around a castle.
Hmmmm......must be an alternate spelling.

Let’s just arrest them and put them on trial for war crimes I say!

The writer probably meant “motte,” which is a raised earthwork. So, mound.

Whoops - I misremembered that. A mote can also be a speck (not a log) - like of sand.
Matthew 7-3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
I forgot the mote was the speck...

It stands to reason that these Trojans were not overcome by Huskies since their bones were not consumed.

The Huskies really howled.. A real hard fought game.. they go to Stanford this weekend. 2 and 0 out of that game would be good.. considering the 0 - 12 record last year.

I caught that one too.
How were they able to even see a ~3200 year old mote?

It’s Washington STATE “cougars” team that eats bones and they stand no chance against the rubbers.
