Euro Bowl game Saturday

The first BIG Week has arrived & at 18:00 hours Saturday (noon here) the Helsinki Wolverines should have arrived in Chur at the Ringstrasse Field of the Calanda Broncos. This is the first of a home & away playoff type game between teams who earned their way last year. Kinda like home & away for the Flyers with say...Albany. The Broncs go to Finland on May 5th.

The web site has been offering tickets for several weeks & the VIP tickets are sold out (incl best seat, food & drink, access to field for about $50) All tickets selling well so a crowd about the size at UD will be ready.

There is a countdown clock going & I entered the "Guess the Score Contest". It will be Alumni Day & every former player gets free entry with snacks & drinks! They came out with a bright red Euro Bowl T-shirt which is much more exciting than their regular version. They have announced that a team is in place to provide live streaming. Don't hold your breath, they can't even get photos on the site & it might be the UD video team!

Anyway, it will finally be a big game, the reason Americans were imported. Calanda needs to shake off two weeks of "wet" rust. Helsinki is playing their first game. They have a marvelous offense with speed runners who have some power. Should be high-scoring after the 1st qtr. For Valentino, he needs to grow his 5-TD season count.

(Thanks DF for posting photos)
