8 weeks 3 days ago One of my friends plays for

One of my friends plays for the Helsinki Wolverines and I thought it would be cool to share here. There was a good response when I posted about them winning the Finnish Championships last season. They're going into the new season now and preparing to play in the Eurobowl which is a Champions League style competition with the winners of all the European leagues. They have a realistic chance of winning the eurobowl this season

I lived in Dubai for quite a few years and could never find a place that would show games. Usually had to watch a stream

Thanks! Yes, the standard of ball in Finland is really good and I think the Wolverines QB is an American ex-D2/D3 college star. I actually play with 54 in our University team in England. He will probably be one of the best defensive players in the league in the upcoming season. In the UK we were all really impressed with the funding, attendance, organisation of the whole sport - especially in that video. You can see they have live TV/ camera crew and a screen in the stadium. In our games we are lucky to have 10/20 spectators including family, friends and other teams scouting us. For the National Final last season we had about 200 spectators but a lot of other teams make the trip to support Unviersity Football - and there was no organised camera crew and we were lucky to have a working scoreboard/ sound system!

I only knew Jim Nantz through the How I Met Your Mother episode he was in.... and thought he was awesome. But now I think he's a massive douche.

I play university football ( the proper kind!) here in the UK and the sport is becoming more and more popular. As a team I think any non-US team would be dominated by a good American HS team. However, there are players here who have the attributes, character, work ethic and grades to play college football. There are 1 or 2 guys who have made practice squads of NFL teams. My program has a good link with Endicot College (D3) and 2 seasons ago, some 12 of their graduating seniors came over for a week. It was a great experience and their standard doesnt seem too far some of our top players. But the players in the UK don't have the top flight coaching (all coaches have other fulltime jobs) that is available in the US and have a much higher ceiling. My teams RB at the moment is one of the best in the league/country and I would say he would be able to compete for some playing time at a non-AQ school. Unfortunately there are not really any opportunities to take the talents from here to the US

Like you all soda correctly he was the Colorado State QB and broke many records. He was in the NFL for a few years but never got any significant game time. He moved to play with the Leicester Falcons in the UK an I was able to way h him play. He was an absolute beast playing against guys who would struggle to make it against decent high school teams. Btw American football is the fastest growing sport in the UK

3 gold stars to anyone who knows who Bradlee Van Pelt is. That's without googling him. He now offers expert coverage of the games on Sky Sports in the UK.

I came home to get away from all the distractions at school so I could write my dissertation which is due in a week... and all I'm doing is aimlessly refreshing mgoblog. Should probably get some more done if I want to sleep at any point this week...
