Okay MeanGreeners...

it's time once again to sign up for the annual GoMeanGreen Flag Football game! GMG Bowl-V will be played at Fouts Field on Sunday, April 13th at 2:00pm. I am working with Brian Bethea this year and all is finalized with the date and location. As always, to be eligible for this game you must be a GMG-Board participant and be at least 18 years old. All team members will be selected from a "draft eligible" pool of players, so get your draft bio in by the deadline. Specific rules will be posted at the date listed below, but most of us have been through this enough times now to know how it works. Watch the board for updates, and as always... remember why we play this game. We honor a fantastic young man who gave all he had for us. Let the smack talk begin, but dont forget why we do this.

Okay, here are the dates to watch:

Question: What is the general fitness level/athletic ability general needed to play?

Or should I say, is this a pretty serious game played by former athletes that stay in shape or just a bunch of out of shape slobs running around out of breath for the hell of it?

(I would be in the slob category)

I'll answer like this.... Last year Andy Blount picked off one of my passes. He had about 40 yards to go and at least 8 of my team mates between himself and the goal line. He scored easily with 15 yards between himself and any other player? I think we can safely say that there were no players on that field about to catch a former scholarship athlete? If you can stand up, run even a little, or just count to 3 and rush the passer you can play in this game. We are all pretty much average joe's. As for AB, I have instituted a new "Ringer" clause that may help even things out this year. (Andy scored 4 or 5 times by himself in last year's game. I lost track after the 4th TD or so...) It's great having the former players out there, but the game is supposed to be basically played at our level.

For the record, AB did the same thing to us in the first GMG Bowl a few years ago. No one that big should be that fast? He really shows us why most of us could never play Division-I football...hehe.

GMG!!!

I'm assuming recman is Wilson...its a good thing I'm a ways away if thats your star. I'd be Wes Welker-ing all over the field.

Lunchpail included.

We don't have to play the system of the current coaching staff do we? Because I am probably best suited for TE.

Which I guess makes Quoner a WR?

I'm new to this board but this thread is the best one I've read in several months of reading:

"Question: What is the general fitness level/athletic ability general needed to play? "

"I have instituted a new "Ringer" clause"

"If you can stand up, run even a little"

Only item of importance I didn't hear mentioned: availability of trainers or ambulance.

Sounds like the best season ticket value offered at NT.
