Quote from: Ron Boerger on Yesterday at 12:29:22 PMUnited Soccer Coaches announced their All-Region teams.  Bizarrely, they have the Trinity(TX) women in Region VI, where they now belong, but the men still in Region X.  First team:

K Alex Wolter, Jr - Colorado College - New Canaan, Conn.
D Luke Chandler, Sr - Trinity University (Texas) - Glasgow, Scotland
D Alex Hart, Fr - Texas Lutheran University - Missouri City, Texas
D Rex Karjian, Sr - Colorado College - Issaquah, Wash.
D Daniel Urquidi, So - Trinity University (Texas) - Round Rock, Texas
M Zachary Anderson Sr - Trinity University (Texas) - Davis, Calif.
M Jack Hilliard, Jr - Colorado College - San Antonio, Texas
M Adam Knutson, Sr - Trinity University (Texas) - Dripping Springs, Texas
F Anders Beckton, Jr - University of Redlands - Seattle, Wash.
F Teddy Opler, Jr - Colorado College - Wilson, Wyo.
F Samuel Theiss, Jr - Trinity University (Texas) - Boerne, Texas

Even more bizarre is that Southwestern's players are on the Region VI team (Sharma and Pinto on the 1st team, Johnson and Pero on the 2nd team, and Macloed on the 4th team), but Trinity's players are on the Region X team

Quote from: WUPHF on Yesterday at 11:30:43 AM

Quote from: Gregory Sager on Yesterday at 10:37:56 AMI've been assiduously studying women's flag football games on YouTube in preparation for North Park's WFF debut this spring, trying to learn the lingo and see how the sport-specific rules shake out in actual game play so that I can call the games without stumbling around and looking like a tyro.

What I've mostly learned is that the Mexicans are really, really good at women's flag football, and Diana Flores is the Tom Brady of this sport.

I just assumed that flag football was mostly driven by the American suburbs, but that is interesting.

Mexico has a surprisingly long and proud history of men's college football, but I really had no idea that they were so dominant in flag football.

Apparently, flag football is also coming to the Olympics or maybe has already been an Olympic sport.

I love that North Park has a Norwegian on the squad.

Yes, Aurora Drangevag is NPU flag football's version of what I call the "Random Scandinavian Factor" of North Park athletics. Seemingly every sport on campus that doesn't involve bats and gloves has to have at least one Norwegian or Swede on the roster, regardless of whether or not the sport is popular in Scandinavia -- and at one point a few years ago we did indeed have a Swedish baseball player.

Because Aurora's high school was named after Edvard Grieg, I'm hoping to talk NPU's flag football head coach Ramon Palma into having the Vikings run out onto the field before games with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" blaring over the P.A.

RF last beat SJU in 1937 when I was 4 years. old. Since then RF is 0-9 against the Johnnies. What does that portend? Nothing.The game will be close but the string of wins will end.

Porter vs. Pimp Juice 

Quote from: scottiedoug on Yesterday at 12:13:21 PMI played a lot of intramural flag football in college. It is a serious game and fun to play and watch and pretty "safe."

I did as well, though just to be clear, I do not think anyone suggested that it was anything less than a serious sport.

I am all for the expansion of athletic opportunities, including the move of sports from intramural or club to varsity status.

Badminton, cricket, pickleball, ultimate, keep the varsity sports coming.

It seemed like they may have been doing just that, except for Andrew Porter.

He was their best player in the last 50 years at Mac......

Ron Groce and Elmer Bailey might disagree with that assessment.  Ron Groce* (2011) - Hall of Fame - Macalester College,  Elmer Bailey Pro Football Stats Athletics
