Nice that UD is keeping up with this kind of football news. Only a few years ago we wondered about their interest...it was weak at best.

Heck, there were three players from one UD team all playing in Europe five years ago & I wrote the stories on this site B4 the Athletic Dept. picked up on it.

So things are improving at your school. About time!

Based on the bi-line for the story it looks like it was written by one of their student interns. I suspect the other changes with the rolling pictures are their doing as well.

I can't figure out how to post a link but it looks like Pat Dowd and Zach Elias both signed with the Kirchdorf Wildcats in Germany.

Flyers Make Land in Kuchdorf & Potsdam

Been waiting to hear about the final two; great that three are going to play football another year. Kiichdorf & Potsdam are both in a German league. Some of the recent best teams are in Austria and Germany. Wonder if Langhorst & Vercammen will try for 4 seasons?

It is not surprising that Dayton players were contacted after the success of the three players from the 2010 Championship team who went to three different countries and played so well.

Ross, Zach & Pat will play in a 2nd Division League so they should easily star on their teams. Expect to see Dowd at LB because they can get linemen locally, but LB/DB might be imports as are many QB/RB/WR.

After a long preseason weekend camp, they can use Monday to Thursday (afternoon) during their schedule for travel & sightseeing. They need to befriend the local media person who takes game photos for some "shots" to email back home. My friend only covers Swiss games.

Hey gramps, Zach just received his flight information today and pat got his last week....dayton said they were writing an article just not sure when it's coming out? Not sure about Pat but they told Zach he'd still be a DB but that they wanted to play him 10-15 snaps per game at WR? Yes I'll try and get pics....maybe they have a facebook page or something

Catching Up with a Wild Cat

Sure Scout, these teams have web sites. Now getting them manned with current info is another story. They may be a tick slower than UD's Dept of Football so your patience will be needed, again!. Add to that understanding what they write. Even after you translate the words to English, it is a challenge to understand any deep message.

Also much like UD, they don't get far ahead of themselves. An import roster member isn't a member until he has de-planed; kinda like I'll believe it when I shake his hand in person, then I know he's really here! And locals have to be sure they can leave their jobs on weekends & wife at home to come to play before they are written into a roster.


Here's the Wildcat...Oh, you were thinking something mean from the wild mountains? No, I believe this is a purrycat with high energy!
Here's the site link:
http://www.kirchdorf-wildcats.de/ Think they're into indoor flag football now.

Last year Head Coach Chris Riener was named "Coach of the Year in the GFL2 Southern Div. He's been around recreation for a few years and I do believe he is the coach for 2015 for the Wild Cats!

Last year they had an American from the Illinois College Blueboys and the Humboldt State Lumberjacks. Like I said, in this Division, if our boys don't "star", they've had way too many brews!

And Scout, good luck befriending someone who takes game photos and doesn't mind that he's shooting an import who is playing in place of his local buddy from junior high! There is some of that present always away from America.
