So many people on our team are sick that I am forced to play kickoff, kick return, offense and defense. I'm so stoked! That's gotta be some sort of record? smallest guard ever?

That's what I play on defense..though I'm one of the faster kids on the team who's actually played more than just highschool football.

I'm 6'1" but I just lost a lot of fat over the summer. I'm 170 right now and I was 190 last year. When I was younger I played d-tackle and O-guard

not that small, my soph year i was starting guard and weighed no more then 175, i have since switched center since then and and still only 183, also play d tackle, but 170 is pretty small, you probably hit hard. haha

Our team went from 35 at the beginning of the season, to 15 at practice tonight. We made playoffs last week and this is our first playoff game. Everyone has fucking swine flu. Our starting tailback is playing with a separated shoulder, and our center went from a kid who's 275 to a kid who's 195 and is our other outside linebacker. The team we're playing has 46 kids. I am so goddamn pissed at Swine Flu right now.

nah dude not everyone would get crushed the actual good players would be fine but kids that are scared and don't know the tempo of the game get killed. I wish we played bigger schools to see how we would stand up against them. But not everyone on the team is always as dediacted as others.

haha i beat you. 5 11 165 jr and i play guard on my school varsity. normally play halfback (CB in americian) and special teams, but becuase our line is paper thin, one guy seperated his shoulder and one guy tore his acl. so now i play offence defence and special teams.

word good luck make sure you eat well and hydrate hours before the game, this might be tough but you keep your head up you never know what you can pull out.

yeah man, are you a senior playing varsity? the big 5a schools in salt lake city are no joke, some of the best football i've seen (yes the juggernaut cali and northeast teams are better, but not by much)

thats sick that you guys get to play both ways, reminds me of elementary and middle school.

Difference is in football we don't fall down and scream that our ankles are broken every time someone gets too close to us.

Bahahaha!!!
But really, that debate is so dumb, it's comparing two completely different sports.  It's like comparing 100 meter hurdles to squash.

It is, I just hate people saying football is a pussy sport blah blah blah. Rugby is more badass though, no debate there.

One of our guards is like 170 the other is about 260, big difference, but the little guy gets it done in 5A in colorado.
We also have a 135 nose guard that plays a good bit.

Meh, no biggie. I mean, you would probably want a break too if you ran 90+ minutes in a row without a break.

But you're right, it's totally going to suck that you only get a break every 16 seconds.

dude, you have no idea what it is like playing a whole game of football on the line. you never get a break, have to get knocked every fucking play. it wears you out way more then just running does. while wide recievers and shit may get to take plays off, the line never does, the hitting puts more of a strain on your body then playing soccer does, i have played both, football is worse. but they are different sports, and this shouldnt even be coming up.

ok
i play lacrosse tournaments all summer. 90+ degree heat, four 50 minute games a day, two or three days worth. running non stop, showing off for recruiters

soccer's a fall sport, in the cool, crisp air, 90 minutes of running, but all you do is run so that shouldnt be an issue.

don't even try to make soccer sound hard

Actually it's a break every 4 seconds..that's how long the average play lasts in Football. You guys can jog and sometimes even stop moving. If I miss a blocking assignment, don't block to the next level or simply stop moving I will get reamed with 15 kinds of shit for the next month. Jogging is different then trying to open up a 4 foot wide hole by pushing 250 lb d-tackles out of the way.
