Hi !

I'm writing this from Sweden. Football here is a quite new sport here, it
has only been around for 15 years. And what I want is first material for
training of judges, especial interpretations of rules. Second I would like
to get hold of play books, post script or something similar, offence 
and defence. Third some guidelines on how to train a football team, 
good exercises and well what ever. Any information would be appreciated. 
The team I'm writing for has only been around for 2 years and played in 
the series 1 year, this spring will be the second year so we cant afford
to have an amarican coach/trainer/player.

Thanks in advance Mikael (emma) Emanuelsson

p.s. please respond to my mail account if possible..

Actually, this has happened.  I don't know all the particulars, but I have seen
the black and white footage of the play.  The ball carrier, with no one within 
some 20 yards, streaks down the far sideline in front of the oposing bench.  A 
frustrated player leaps off the bench and lays out a picture-perfect tackle.

Although it is not explicitily in the rules (or at least I don't think it was 
at the time) the bal carrier was awarded the touchdown.  This is one of the 
funniest film clips I have seen!

I saw in the Dallas Morning News where A&M coach Slocum was complaining
that "other coaches are scaring off our recruits". 

What is the deal with the Aggies? Is there a more paranoid school/team
around?  

Everyone is always out to get them.

First it was Lee Corso saying FSU was better.

Then the AP ranking FSU higher (duh, I wonder why?)

Then the Cotton Bowl for not letting A&M have a shot at #1 (yeah, right)

Then the UT and Dallas Morning News "Conspiracy" to have A&M players
suspended (you gotta be good to be working two jobs at the same time,
especially when when one is out of town)

Now it is the other coaches scaring the recurits away. Telling them 
that A&M may be sanctioned or suspended.

Everyone is always out to get them. It's always someone elses
fault. 

Poor Texas "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?" A&M.

Grow Up.

This is a fake scenario and maybe a dumb question. I don't have answers and like
to ask yours:
 
Scenario: ND 27, USC 23, 0:03 left 4Q, USC has the ball, 1st down and 10 at their
 own 20-yard line.
 
 Pass complete, the receiver broke off all the tackles and heading to the end
 zone. All the ND defenders are at least 10 yards away and it looks like a for
 sure winning TD, time runs out.
 
 With no hope to stop this run, one of the ND players from the sideline rushes
 into the field (illegally of course) and tackles down the USC receiver before
 he reaches the endzone. What's the call?
 
 Of course, the ND player will be suspended or whatever. But, what is the ruling?
 Will it be ruled as USC win 29:27, or it will replay the down, e.g., at ND 1-yard
 line? Or, suppose it is a ND fan, not a player who rushes into the field, will
 the ruling different?
 
 Similar situation, suppose there is one ND defender tracing the runner. While 
 there is no hope to tackle the runner, he face-masks him and bring him down.
 What's the call? I believe that this won't be a USC win, probably 15-yard
 beyond the foul and one more play? In that case, I think the ND defender makes
 right decision.
 
 Answers only please. No flame or gimmick!!

Ok, here is what I dug out of Wake Up the Echoes by Ken Rapport

...
Prudehomme was the Notre Dame captain when the football team made its 
first trip, a 100-mile journey to Evanston, Illinois to play North-
western in 1889.  It was here that the name "Fighting Irish" was born,
although originally cast as an unflattering remark by scornful 
Northwestern students.  Frank Fehr, the Notre Dame center, recalled
the circumstances:
	"We were leading Northwestern, 5-0, at the half only to hear the
Northwestern fans chanting 'Kill the Fighting Irish -- Kill the Fighting
Irish'- as the second 45-minute half opened.  From that time on, the 
name stayed with Notre Dame athletic teams.  Funny thing about it - we
had only two Irishmen on the squad.  We never had over two Irishmen on 
the team at the same time the first three years we played."
	The game with Northwestern marked the beginning of a traditional
rivilary, although the first contest in the series was not born of
good will.  Not only were the fans unfriendly, but the Northwestern 
players were downright mean.  "According to one version, Notre Dame
players were still being returned to campus in ambulances a week later,"
said one writer.  They could not take the fight out of the "Fighting
Irish," however.  Dezera Cartier kicked the first field goal in a 
midwestern college game, and Notre Dame defeated Northwestern 9-0.

BTW, Notre Dame was not named after the French cathedral.  The 
university's full name is University of Notre Dame du Lac ->
Our Lady of the Lake, refering to Mary and one of the lakes on the campus.
