Thun Tiger Action 2011


The much beloved Swiss Federation has finally announced the make up of the their three leagues and the tentative schedule of games for 2012.

As usual, the top six teams in Switzerland will play in the NLA.

The NLB is the second tier of Swiss American football in which your Thun Tigers will be one of six teams as well.

Finally, SAFV's lowest league, NLC, will be made up of only three teams this season I believe.

10 games in 13 CONSECUTIVE weeks? What kind of cockamamy European football scheduling is that?!

George, I just finished reading playing for pizza... I absolutely loved it. It was fun reading the book and replacing Rick with myself, although I won't be playing quarterback.
Once again, thank you very much for coming to clu in 2010 and expressing your interest in euroball.
I leave in 2 months and only get more excited as the days come to a close! I hope all is well.
God bless
