    and even football powerhouse Japan. Team USA comprised of graduated players hoping to impress scouts beat Japan 59-12 in the finals of the IFAF World Championship. They also beat France by 82-0. The frogs had previously beaten Australia by 50 points, who had in turn beaten South Korea by 41.

    Some stats from America's tournament:

    • Team USA outscored its opponents 214-36, with an average scoreline of 52.5-9.
    • Team USA outgained its opponents 1855 to 672, over 1,000 yards differential in just four games.
    • Team USA's opponents ran for -11 yards during the tournament. Team USA ran for 869.
    • Team USA scored 29 touchdowns, including five defensive touchdowns. They allowed four touchdowns total.

    LSU would blow out the American team. And where does Japan get enough decent players to finish second? I suppose the O line are all sumo wrestlers but the Japanese people on the whole tend to be on the smallish side. If I had known about this tournament beforehand I would have pick the Aussies to be the runnerup.

    Hell, based on that roster, I think we could send ULL as the US team and win it.

    I would hope so. His name may be Favre but he is only 5'10

    I thought I remembered some potential interest when was a sophomore or junior in high school, maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

    When he was a sophomore people probably thought he would grow a few inches taller. I was only 5'11" as a soph but grew to 6'3"
