• IFAF: Team World players arrive today, game nationally televised in Canada (roster)


    The 2012 International Bowl in Austin, Texas, will be nationally televised live in high definition on CBS Sports Network in the United States and Canada as well as broadcast on the American Forces Network for U.S. service men and women deployed overseas and on U.S. Navy ships. Kickoff is 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 1 - National Signing Day.


    IFAF World Team Head Coach Greg Marshall


    "It feels great to be back here with a lot of familiar faces certainly from USA Football, IFAF and the coaching staff. Familiarity from the coaching staff is always good. You don't have to worry about breaking through barriers. We have a great group of people.

    "We are going to plan for the next couple of days, get the first day of practice ready, but also be flexible to accommodate for our specific players. I will get through the first days and evaluate from there.

    "Our goal is to win the game. We came down here to win among other reasons. It is about renewing friendships. I have had some great experiences and USA Football puts together a great event."
