Yes the Buafl or simply the 'British Universities American Football League'.
Nothing else intrigued me really this week because the life I lead is so bland and mundane, the concept is simple enough really, its a league for universities to compete against one another in the sport of
I just thought I'd give my 2 or probably more cents on the league and stuff because the sport itself is a passion of mine and I play for Derby Uni's American Football team the Derby Braves. Originally when I thought of talking about this topic I wanted to give a sort of match report on todays game against Leicester, but realised that I was far too busy playing and keeping the bench toasty to actually notice who did what. What I will now say though is we won 36 - 0, which is good because we won our last game 31 - 0, so its a bit of a gloat-filled improvement in my eyes.
A bit of shameless advertising too now.
we play at Kedleston Road 3G pitch (just outside the SU) and our next game is on the 27th of this month, so in 2 weeks, thats against the NTU renegades and itll be a good one, so personally I'd appreciate the support (Y).
Back the BUAFL. The league itself is I suppose sensibly divided geographically, you have the Border Conference, the Northern Conference, the Midland Athletic Conference, the South Western Atlantic Conference, the Thames Valley Conference and the South Eastern Conference. Obviously this means that teams don't have to travel very far to each game, but at the same time there is no tier system in terms of ability, so it many teams don't really have a fighting chance.
The site itself is actually well run and if you have any interest at all in the sport it would be good to check out, especially now the NFL is in its off-season, there are links to loads of things like updated news sections including a match report on a game played somewhere around the UK, which could make for a little light reading if you get bored of reading this rubbish im spewing out onto my keyboard. There are forums and links to the league tables including scores of previously played games so its well worth a gander.
I don't think that this little post has been very good tbh, I wanted to make it interesting I honestly did, but I like writing when I'm tired and can't sleep as it seems to help, but I can't seem to concentrate and it's hard to blog about things and not be embarrassed about what I have written when I wake up, so I think I'm going to leave it for now and find something more interesting to talk about in the next cheeky edition, I'll make it slightly humorous if I can too, I promise. so please check back? please?
thanks. Nathe. xx
