Refrider from the Lafayette board points out that the EFAF Cup Final between the Carlstad Crusaders of Sweden and the Calanda Broncos of Switzerland, takes place today in Chur, Switzerland. The opposing quarterbacks both are from Lafayette -- Marko Glavic, '04 plays for the undefeated Broncos and Rob Curley, '10 plays for the similarly undefeated Crusaders.

Where else have recent FCS graduates been given a chance to continue the Game other than in the NFL?

Europe is getting quite common. Lots of FCS kids go over for year or two to play. The money is terrible but the experience must be tremendous. There is a book "Playing for Pizza" by a Harvard guy that details his experience in Italy.

The rough equivalent of backpacking through Europe for free?
