Here is a look at the happenings around the globe in American football.
I am not a big fan of Friday
night college football games
As Paul Sabolić always says, "Friday nights are for high school football."
The Washington Huskies have these two Friday night games, at Rutgers on September 27th and at home against UCLA on November 15th.
You better dress warmly if you are going to the UCLA game.
USC's home schedule features
four big name contests
The Trojans home games against Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska and Notre Dame are all of interest to me.
The San Francisco 49ers famed
Million Dollar Backfield 1953-55
That was a LOT of money back then!
L. to. R.: Hugh McElhenny, Joe Perry, John Henry Johnson and Y.A. Tittle
All four are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
McElhenny and Perry both played at Compton Junior College but not at the same time.
Jason Sabolić sent me his 2024
El Camino Real H.S. schedule
Now to pinpoint the best dives for appropriate pre-game meals.
The standings in the Egyptian League
The Cairo Hell Hounds at 2-0 come as no surprise to David Lassen, their #1 fan in the American Midwest.
Coach Michael Wood has his
Helsinki Roosters rolling at 2-0
in the Finnish Maple League
Two weeks until this International
Orquídea Bowl between clubs from
Costa Rica and Colombia
The Spanish DII/Serie B title
game to be played on Sunday
France's Besancon Bisons
look mean and also in need of
giving the federation a urine sample
French DIII playoffs
Poland's Zabki Dukes tee it
up on Sunday as well
Italian DIII/9FL playoffs are set
to start on June 1st and 2nd
The IFL's, Italy's DI, final
weekend of regular season game
The 7-0 Varese Skorpions will host
the 2-5 Milano Rhinos on Sunday
International Game in Rome
The 3-5 Lazio Marines have finished their IFL regular season and still have an outside chance of making the playoffs if the Milano Rhinos and Torino Giaguari, both 2-5, both lose this weekend which is a distinct possibility.
On Sunday, the Marines play the NCAA DIII's Kenyon College Owls from Ohio. The Owls compete in the eight university North Coast Athletic Conference with team's in Indiana and Ohio.
In 2023 the Owls record was 2-8 overall and 2-6 in NCAC play.
What a GREAT eight day experience
in Italy for the men from Kenyon!
The European League of Football
opens their fourth season this weekend
There are 17 clubs competing in the ELF this year based in Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and Switzerland.
Pre-Season Power Rankings
really don't mean much
Yes it is in Europe's
top league!
14 teams will be in action
while three clubs have byes
I'm still backing the
Barcelona Dragons in 2024
The ELF will again have three conferences this season.
The Vienna Vikings are
the class of the East
The Tirol Raiders are the
pre-season favorites in the Central
Arguably the ELF's toughest
conference, I'll go with the
Rhein Fire in the West
Each team faces a grueling 12 game regular season schedule that ends in late August. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
In non-football news . . .
I parked in front of this
interesting tree at the Camarillo
Public Library today
This spot in the Camarillo Outlet Mall
offered us DELICIOUS empanadas for
lunch today!
Now, to see what the long Memorial Day weekend brings our way.
