The Great Dane is back in action! Very good news...

 

[Bonehead]

This is very good news. I don't know how much of an impact he'll have, but we can hope for the best.

But you're wrong. This is #2.

Stony Brook was #1 (we did win after all)
Knappe #2
Boise #3???

I've drawn up a play where Knappe-Kracken drives the DE and OLB into the opposite sideline, sealing off the middle and opening up a seam for Max, Arkeel and big Johnson. Shouldn't take long to get it down. Run right!

.
Even better - give Max, Arkeel, and big Johnson one football each and make 18 points on the play!

So my understanding is that in Danish, you always pronounce the K in "Kn", is that correct? Ka-Nappe?

According to the pronunciation on the roster.... it is just "Nap"

But UConn has messed up pronunciations before (like Giffey for UConnMB)

Let's hope he doesn't struggle like the other O Linemen. This will be his first game action, I expect him to be extremely raw.

No doubt. Still he's a whole lot of raw. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference he makes.

time for Kanastiness from the OL.

I've drawn one up where he drives the DE into the DT, into the other DT, into the other DE, and drives all four off the field, while the other O-linemen pull behind him to take out the linebackers.

 

[uconnbill]

They can use him and maybe as a blocking tight end at times in short yardage situations.

Good to have the Great Dane back

I've heard it pronounced that way on the radio, K-nappe.

Right. He corrected Joe D. Pronounced Ka-nap-pay (what my old ears heard anyway).

Phonetically:

Cah-nah - pah


It's old English for large whale vag
