I thought Bridges was playing at Ky.Christian...quit school?

[getagrip]

Sam Huff mentioned it was his last shot. How did he do at Joliet?

Semi-Pro Football is not much more than glorified backyard football.

Hey booger!

You shouldn't be bad-mouthing those guys.

How do you know so much about semi-pro football?

[MTSWNGRVSG]

Only the shadow knows!

[OVCfan32]

no its not too bad. . .its really pretty fun. . .lots of different skill levels out there. . plus keeps me in shape and doesn't conflict with playing college ball here at tech. . plus as you can see. . lots of my former team mates there being from chesapeake and playing here

[boogerred]

I don't know much about it.

Let me see.

Yellow Jackets, Coyotes, Lumberjacks, Cobras, and Titans come to mind when I think about that.

How can you call it semi-pro? Either you get paid (which makes you a professional) or you don't (which makes you an amateur).

You better be careful about playing college ball and amateur ball at the same time, it could possibly cost you eligibility.

[madpolecat]

Bet college coaches would LOVE to hear that their guys are playing amateur ball in the off-season...

[hilltopkid]

OVC-do your coaches at Tech know you play on a semi-pro team? You better be very careful.I certainly wouldn't talk about it here.

Karl-I hope you're being sarcastic.
Good way to lose a scholarship.Heck, most college coaches cringe at the thought of their good players playing intramural sports like basketball etc.. When I coached at WL, we would lose a kid just about every year from a twisted ankle or something, or they'd miss an entire spring ball season.

[madpolecat]

Sarcastic? Me? Never.

[boogerred]

I think Karl is serious. Most coaches encourage their basketball players to work on their shots in the off-season; so following that line of thought, I bet college football coaches feel the same way.

[boogerred]

The athletic department regrets to inform you that your son lost his eligibility because he was stupid!!!!!

[madpolecat]

Nice answer, red.

[boogerred]

Thanks Mav!

[madpolecat]

guess that makes you Goose, no?

[hilltopkid]

I would kill my players for doing something so stupid.Especially if they're on a schollie. If they are a walk-on and not receiving aide, it's hard to tell them what they can and cant do on thie time, but when you're paying their way you have some say-so.

[madpolecat]

As a coach I would worry about the bad habits they might develop playing in such situation, to say nothing of the potential for getting injured.

[madpolecat]

Is there a Web site for the team that those guys are playing for?

[NICKNEVADA]

there are several guys from New Boston trying out for these teams. FYI-They did not play football in school!
