Looking forward to playing you guys twice next year although I wont be on the field (just helping out) my time is running out here in Germany next August will be my rotation time back to the states so best of luck to you and the FU family (Fans/Team)![]()
@Bruschii
I would really love to be able to play next year in GFL 2 so I can see the real difference in competition and talent as everyone has been telling us. Unfourtunatley my time will be up next year the Air force is sending my family and I back to the states but I will surely be checking in.......but as for the walking out on the field at first we thought that might just be something you guys do in Germany until we really saw the reaction on our teammates faces and then like I said we really got fired up LOL!!!
The Pikes are fired up and excited to get back to GFL2 and Im glad I could help them and also happy I had a chance to play football again. Big ups to all you guys and keep playing hard!!!![]()

I'm back in the states.... glad you are going home... I'm trying to make 1 last run in good old Dland before I hang up my cleats.... I'm not German but I've never seen anyone "walk" out on the field like that... but the Universe think they do things the way that we do in the states.. what they don't realize is that all they see is the MTV version of the USA and American football... that is why they are so arrogant and have no respect. What they see on TV they think is real. What they don't see is the 4-6 hours of training we do 7 days a week from the age of 8 years old. They don't see the sacrifice for the communities we play in, or the integrity as a team that is so important to us Americans. They definitely don't understand the relationship between a coach and their players..... i could never imagine smoking cigarettes in front of my coach.. or drinking in front of him. I was raised to think that coach was G-D, Father, and Employer......
Thank you so much for your service, I hope you guys get home safely, and you can enjoy some time back on home soil!
LOL thats the point. You just gauge something you have seen. I dont know if you realised that the team of the Frankfurt Universe DOES also have players and coaches who used to play on colleges and professional levels! So we know what we do and we dont need any "football movies to act like the same" .We do respect every team, but we just dont fear em. And we are not arrogant. Every Coach in football teaches the players to be convinced on watchu do. WE ARE just like all the other teams in germany. And we are no wannabes. We just do it our way. And thats (in my opinion) what makes the organsation and the team so special. every team is diffrent. And for us theres NO reason to be arrogant. We are just usuall ppl like you We practice, we eat, we sleep.... and so on.

I think you are right on this one, not everyone knows that, but its not just the universe. I think there are even some pikes and other teams who dont know that kind of experience americans live.
