I visited the Hosei University football practice this week, as the Tomahawks prepare for their Clash Bowl rematch against Nippon University on Sunday. The Phoenix won last year 38-34.
I must say, I don't know if I have ever seen a practice where the team seemed so relaxed before a big game. It is probably a testament to their confidence- Hosei has been to this game 14 of the last 16 years (and won it thirteen times) . Last year was also the first time Nichi-dai beat Hosei in twelve tries, going back to 1992. The Phoenix dominated the series in the 1980's.
