Everyone here would think I meant soccer. But no I mean the American Football. Myself along with Mike joined the American football club here at Yonsei. We thought it would just be a typical university club where we show up and just play games for fun out on the field, but it is quite a bit more than that. Today was our first real practice, 2 1/2 hours. We didn’t do any playing, we just did drills. Apparently we joined a real team and we’ll be getting pads and gear and we play against other schools and that national championship will be held in Pusan. I was really excited to find out about that. Back in the states I probably wouldn’t last very long on a football field given my size, the guys that play football in the states are just enormous, but here not so much. There are several small guys on the team and the guys who seem to be real good hardcore players are average sized american guys. So I’m looking forward to the season! After the practice today we went out to dinner with all the guys. I have to take some video of this its hilarious. We’re in a restaurant and they start doing the huddle chant which is basically like when you hear marines go “Hooah!!” or whatever it is they say. They do that like 15 times, really lound and everyone is staring at us and we all do a shot of Soju, which is the Korean liqour. Then we do it outside the restaurant and this group of girls outside just go crazy over it.
I expect to be pretty sore tomorrow. I woke up this morning and went to the gym and worked out for an hour. Then did 2 1/2 hours of these football drills.
Lot of fun, looking forward to playing some games!
