Play American Football

BizzyC

DCU will be creating a new American Football team next year, the DCU Saints.

It's open to non-DCU students, so anyone from Trinity is free to join.

And they always have the biggest payers on defense salivating over the thought of hurting them.

It's a good balance.

Crash

Meh, i'm sure the cheerleader would wear a nurses uniform if i got injured

BizzyC

Hey, chicks dig scars.

Remember that.

p.pete

Is it tag football or full contact?

BizzyC

We'll have both.

ApeXaviour

Knowing some of the players on the Dublin Dragons (based in lucan btw) I'd say it'd be seriously lame (and I seriously doubt) if they just did tag football. I think their former coach is training the DCU club.

American football is an amazingly fun game to play, my friends and I had to stop though after one fella got concussed a couple times and I dislocated my shoulder. We didn't wear any of those wussy pads or anything you see

BizzyC

Yeah, we'll be coached by former dragons coach, and current national team coach, Phil DeMonte.

DrIndy

Tell me more about the cheerleaders......

Kevin_rc_ie

i'd imagine you need to be big to play. get agent smith or boston down there.

BizzyC

No.

Football is one of those sports though where size can dictate where you play.
If you're not too big you'd be restricted to playing DB, or WR or maybe RB.

Kevin_rc_ie

then you have to be fast?

BizzyC

It defenitely helps, but it's not everything.

Crash

You know i'm oddly tempted by this, but i could see myself getting destroyed :P

RuggieBear

sounds intriguing.....where would 5'11, 20st play....? :eek:

Crash

What about 6'0, 9 and a bit stone (i'm pretty fast when needs be though :P)

hehehe

RuggieBear

well if i could catch you crash, i'd probably hurt you....

Nietzschean

Crash

Heheh yeah but i'm like that guy in family guy "you're never gonna catch mee..!!!

o god it just gets worse..........................

do you also count it if you wear heals to your height? (are we going to see crash going around campus in 6" heals next week, "LOOK AT ME I'M TALL!")

Crash

Heheheh - ah i only take the height thing into consideration because of the slouch. back condition yeh see. doesnt cause any pain or health problems, just means i slouch like mad

You're 6'0" and 9 & 1/2 stone? You must be pretty weak so! And I thought I was bad..

Kevin_rc_ie

i think he's calling you out crash. outside the pav, 5pm, friday, you're claimed. there can be only one.

Crash

Deadly - for the record, i fight dirty

Kevin_rc_ie

like christina aqualiera (sp?)

Crash

Nah, more along the lines of "i have no qualms about being a vicious ****" kinda way. weird when you think i'm a gentle nice guy

For the record, I'm not a smoker.

Kevin_rc_ie

For the record: I don't HATE cats.

Crash

For the record: smoking would only affect me if the fight lasted more than a minute - WHICH IT WONT PET!

Kevin_rc_ie

For the record: This fight probably would be cringeful. like ever see that fight between the two japanese cyclists. hehe. girly fight but with out the girls. bring it onnn.

Oh, zing.

Crash would definitely make straight for my hair. And not just out of jealousy.

John

He'll make you think he'll go for your hair then kick you in the nuts when you're not prepared.

BizzyC

So, anyway, back to football.

anyone who's 20st, sould be a lineman, if your fast though, you could make linebacker, or fullback.

if you're 6', and fast, get in there. We'll make a receiver or a DB out of you.

Ron DMC

Just wondering, if this is going to be a DCU team, and you're inviting all the other colleges, who exactly will you be playing against?

Kevin_rc_ie

i sense rm doesnt play sports.

ItalianStallion

I played Running back for the Dublin Blue Dragons for part of the '04 season. Thats sort of like a flanker in rugby. while rugby is a MUCH better sport, American football has its merits. Whlie they are all standing around between plays, they are resting and developing a stragety. when they start again, they have more energy for complex maneouvers.

Dublin Blue dragons????
Dont really see the comparison between the positions either, if anything i'd say RB is more like a second center position.

To answer RM's question, there is a league.

At the moment there is 2 other dublin teams; the Rebels, and the Dragons,
There are 2 teams from the belfast area; the knights, and the cowboys,
and there are 2 from munster; the cork admirals and the UL vikings.

There is also another north dublin team, and a team in galway under developement.
