Jeg hadde jo håpet på å få spille football her borte, men siden jeg er en en "Internasjonal Partner Student" sier NCAA reglene at jeg ikke får spille. Jeg er usikker på om reglene nekter å la meg trene også, men ifølge treneren på skolen får jeg iallefall ikke trene med de heller.
Lørdag den 16. september spillte am. football laget sin første hjemmekamp, men dette gikk desverre ikke så veldig bra. St. Johns er ranket som nr 4 i landet i div 3, og vel... vi er ikke. Jeg var trygt plassert på tribunen og tok bilder av masakren. Selv om vi "bare" tapte 60-0 kunne nok sifrene vert mye høyere. Vi klarte hverken å stoppe pasnings-spillet deres, og options spillene drepte oss helt.
Menmen, det var utrolig bra vær da, og jeg klarte faktisk å bli rimelig solbrent i trynet.
Her kommer noen bilder og kamprapporten som er sakset ifra nettsiden vår.













MINNEAPOLIS (9/16/06) – Alex Kofoed (Jr., Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori HS) threw for 266 yards and four touchdowns in the first half, as his St. John's University football team scored a 60-0 victory over host Augsburg College in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest Saturday afternoon at Edor Nelson Field.
