more american football action this weekend as the season comes to a head:
A double-header of X2 League games at Kawasaki on Saturday, December 4th beginning at 11.
On Sunday, in first division X-league semi-final action, since the Fujitsu Frontiers were knocked out of the playoffs, the Obic seagulls (including 3 American players) will take on the Kajima Deers at 2:30 at Kawasaki; meanwhile the wild card IBM Big Blue will be down in Osaka to face the Panasonic Impulse.
The big college game in the Kanto area is the Clash Bowl on Sunday the 5th- featuring the top two teams in the KCFA- the perennial champion Hosei Tomahawks will face the Waseda Big Bears at Ajinomoto Stadium (that's near Tobitakyu station on the Keio line).
Pregame festivities will include youth football games featuring the Little Tomahawks and the Little Green Machine from Kanagawa; and from the Tokyo area- the Gators, comprised of a lot of expat kids, going against the Japanese Hurricanes.
Then the main event kicks off at 13:00- bands, cheerleaders, a half-time show- the whole works. The winner of the clash Bowl goes to Osaka for the Koshien Bowl to determine the university champion on December 19th.
