Dubuque Bruisers Football update

[GG54172]

Hello all, there have been a few request for football updates, so here you go.

 

We have been practicing for 2 months now. Our official roster list 32 team members. We usually have about 16 who consistently show up for practice and another 5 or so random players who arent busy that night. This makes it tough to get things done, but we have been doing what we can. I am fairly confident that I will start at offensive center, mostly because I am the only person who hikes the ball during practice, no one else wants the job, and there are only 6 linemen sized players on the team anyways. With six guys, I am fairly certain I will play Defensive line too. (Being the only center, pray I don't get hurt.)

 

We have our first game June 20th, just 13 days away, and we have a lot of work to do yet. Our head coach quit last week due to some personal issues he had to take care of. Our new head coach will get the job done, but now the linemen are essentially coaching themselves. We have been scouring the internet looking for drills to do during practice.

 

We have two quarterbacks and both of them are good. The running backs and recievers are smaller than I would hope for, but I think with our 1500+ lbs of offensive line we should be ok. The defensive backs are strong, and like to hit.

 

We could not find a field in Dubuque to play. Loras, University of Dubuque, Dubuque senior High, Hempstead, all turned us down. So we will be playing our home games in Cascade. It's a good field.

 

I honestly cannot tell you how well we will do this year. We have some very agressive players, who want to play hard. However, we will be playing against teams with ex Bears, Packers, Vikings, etc players, as well as people who want to play for those teams. All we can do is go out, and hit as hard as we can. At the end of the game, the score will be what it is.
