Got to recruit internationally now days....LOL. India might contribute.

After all...FSU just put two "furrin" guys into this years 1st round...one from Berlin and the other from Manchester...and Janikowski (the Polish Powderkeg) is in his 15th year in the NFL.

Clearly these programs are going to be invited to the AAC to strengthen our "Eastern Division"

This is the kind of s--- that pushes valuable knowledge out of my head.

I remember a game about 20 years ago that had William and Mary playing against a team of Japanese all-stars in Tokyo.

W&M won 73-3 and was basically running for 20 yards a carry. They would score, kick off, take the ball back on some sort of turnover and then score immediately.

The highlight of the game - in the fourth quarter, the Japanese starting running fake punts on 2nd and 3rd down.

There's been a push to globalize this game since the 1932 Olympics. It's slowly growing. You probably know of the German Football League. The Elite Football League of India's exhibition games are getting 1-5k+ people per game. The players are even surprised.

How is that not useful knowledge? There's jobs in this field around the globe.
