Who in the heck made those selections??? I could name quite a few players in SC school alone that should go ahead of most of those kids.

Yeah, I went back and looked at your game with CSU and saw there was a Jordan on the field but he seemed average. Never heard of him until I saw him on roster.

what do the numbers before thier height mean?

Their jersey numbers, I believe.

[chiapet9]

no clue what those numbers are. not sure where Texas Terror copied and pasted his post from but the link lists different heights and weights on a lot of those guys. its easier to just link to the rosters on the website. personally i think it's a great cause and i hope it continues to improve over the years.


This game has made a difference for many young men with many former players now competing on the professional level. It is our goal to use this game as a prototype for other National Football Foundation Chapters to emulate. The game brings the best Division II, Division III, and NAIA college football players from across the country to Petersburg, VA to compete against each other in a North versus South format. With a yearlong calendar of events geared toward promoting the game of amateur football and its vital character-building attributes, this game serves as an opportunity to place the spotlight on young people who participate because of their pure love for the game. They, as we, recognize that athletic competition can serve as a teacher of many of life’s most valuable lessons.

The most memorable aspects of the game include the time spent with those who are less fortunate. Each year players routinely visit local community centers, children’s hospitals, and convalescent homes. Without a doubt this seems to be a highlight, not only for the individuals that the athletes visit, but for the players as well. The East Coast Bowl also serves as a scholarship program for local High School seniors. Graduating seniors that have made the decision to attend a Division II, Division III or NAIA school are eligible to apply for our scholarship.

The East Coast Bowl is entering its fifth year of operation and continues to be a monumental event for the City of Petersburg, VA. Small college football players are consistently over-looked and under-appreciated and this game offers a platform for small college football players to gain further recognition and showcase their abilities to professional scouts.

the interesting thing is, no offense, none of those guys are the "best" in any of their division, one of the reasons is many of the best are in the playoffs!

This is just a best of the worst all-star game....if your team can't make the playoffs...you get a chance to play one more game...it's not even from teams that were close to the playoffs and that many CSU guys....you gotta be kidding....

[DaGoat217]

there are a few good players.

[CCU97]

Wonder what the stats from this game were? I know the North squad won it 26-24

[bluehenbillk]
