Pretty damn good football game on NFL network.

Yeah. It was actually played a couple weeks ago. Two local guys played somewhat big parts. Kasperbauer, the running back, played for the University of Nebraska-Omaha here, and Calbert, one of the DBs, played high school football in town.

It's actually surprising how well they played considering they got a group of mostly I-AA, II, and III former players who had started to move on with post-grad schooling and careers. They only had about 2 weeks to come together and prepare. They were coached by John Robinson, too.

I guess this isn't the first year the competition has gone on, but it is the first year the US has participated.
