nick in* england Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I thought I would update you all on my football team. Some of you are familiar with the fact that I play LG (at just about 202lbs now ) for a team over here... Well this season we are 5-1 and have just booked a place in the playoffs. If we beat the 10-time national champs on Saturday we will win our division already with 3 games of the regular season to go. We also redesigned ourwebsite (well I did)... You can keep up to date on http://www.londonblitz.com/ carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 What a lovely Americanised domain name (though I see you also have .co.uk ... ) Are the offensive and defensive units "named?" I see "Machine" under all the O players' names and "D-Block" under all the D players' names... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys on D break the huddle with a 'Booya' - real cheesey - but pretty scary... Us guys on O just try to run out, execute, get back in the huddle and do it again. Like a machine. You'd expect a bit of Americanisation though - after all - we all love American Football enough to play it. Being British about it would ruin it!!

You probably still get the urge to kick it every so often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Did you ever play Rugby Nick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Did you ever play Rugby Nick? 379719[/snapback] Nope... Well - only a couple of games when I was at schoo. I hated that the sports teachers at school treated Rugby players like special kids. Not being too athletic myself back then I objected and tried football instead... the rest is histiry..

The Avenger Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Just curious - why the different color helmets for guys on the same team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Just curious - why the different color helmets for guys on the same team? 379810[/snapback] Because we are poor, and not all are guys can afford to buy their own helmet - so we have to get what we can... Now if we can find a way to get sponsored (we are trying but it is hard) or get some gear donated from a team in the US that is refreshing their kit we'd be very grateful.
