Dave Campbell Texas Football presented these rankings in their 2011 magizine. Question: Are you ready for some Six-Man football? I sure am and it is a much preferred way of ranking teams getting the teams going at each other on the field. There will be some tough games around the state starting with the WEEK ZERO kick off classics. More on that soon.

THE 2011 Season is Just around the Corner

How does one know this? I was scooped on this one by my favorite sports writer, Bill Hart. The usual suspects have all made appearances.

Dave Campbell’s 2011 Texas Football is on the newsstand. Debate is in full swing about the Top Ten’s.

Six-man coaches are on the move, again.

The temperature is extremely hot and has been for weeks.

6 on 6 tourneys have been played.

July has brought us the 15th Annual CanAm bowl. The game was played July 9th in Raymore SK. USA wins again by the score of 63-24. The Texas Bowl was held in Garden City on July 16th and this week Lubbock is hosting yet another Texas Six-Man Coaches Association Clinic and All-Star games which will be played July 22nd and 23rd.

What could possibly be next? Two-a-days! The next thing will be scrimmages and finally we will get to WEEK ZERO and then “let the games begin” on Thursday August 25th. There will be several excellent “kick off classics” during WEEK ZERO. I will post more on that later.

Name change of sorts

S.E.E. Six-Man News is the new title of this blog named after Dr. Stephen Edward Ephler, inventor of Six-Man Football on or about June 20th of 1934 in Chester, Nebraska. This information was provided by his daughter Charlotte (Ephler) Gezi. She states her dad kept a daily diary most of his life and the very first mention of the game was dated June 20th, 1934, when he wrote in his diary, "Went to Football Class. I intend to adapt football to the small school. Have six players and make rules to require less equipment and less chance of injuries." As they say, the rest is history. If you love the game as I, place your hand on the nearest football paraphernalia you can find (ok to substitute kitchen table or place your hand over your heart) and repeat these words. THANK YOU DR. STEPHEN EDWARD EPHLER. Once you have done that and purchased your heirloom SMFN token you are qualified to be a Certified SMFN!!! (SixManFootballNut). They cost $2.00 cash and are available where ever you find me.

2010 Playoff Games

The regular season is over. We have already boxed up the first round of playoff games. November 18th through the 20th will close the doors on Round 2 of the playoffs. November 25-27 are the dates for Round 3 and December 2-4 will be Round 4. That will leave the State Championships to be played in Abilene, Texas home of SIX-MAN CENTRAL! Division 2 will play December 11th at 2:00 PM followed by Division 1 teams at 7:00 PM.

Folks, there is nothing like it on the planet! Come see what I mean. Heck, it isn't too early to be thinking about the 2011 season. Next season I have a new game. I will pick 6 games each week. You pick the winners along with the scores. No fancy prizes to be given away. The overall winner will own bragging rights for a year. I will not go into all the details right now but I will say this, it will be fun.

Stay tuned. I write a blog about the sport of Six-Man at www,lonestarfootball.net and you can also follow me on twitter @sixmancentral.

Thank you for reading and help me get the word out about this site as well as the fan appeal of Six-Man football!
