Some terminology mixup here - Tamouse is referring to a facility rails 
provides for setting up data for your automated tests ("text fixtures") 
whereas I believe you are using fixture in the sense of the set of games 
that are to be played over a season.

belongs_to :home_team, :class_name => 'Team'
belongs_to :away_team, :class_name => 'Team'
 
Then rails will assume the presence of home_team_id and away_team_id 
columns and will assume that they are pointing at the id column from the 
Team model.

It sounds like your post model would also need an (optional) fixture_id 
column that would record that is discussing that particular fixture

Then I have a scheduled_at column and a played column that is a Boolean.
