the seating bowl.I was overjoyed, o Antworten

RENTON, Wash. -- While the kids on the grass berm jockeyed for autograph position and screamed to get the attention of Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner, George Fant stood a few feet away being tutored by assistant offensive line coach Pat Ruel.For the next few minutes, even with the commotion nearby, Fant pummeled the padded base holding up the scoreboard next to the Seattle Seahawks practice field as he worked on hand placement and the initial strike needed to play offensive line in the NFL.Another day. Another lesson on playing offensive line for Fant -- an undrafted rookie project and former basketball player.Im the type of person I want to go as hard as I can and learn as much as I can as fast as I can, Fant said. Thats the process for that. The learning part is not done. Im learning something new every day. Thats my thing coming in every day. If something bad happens, it happens. I keep trying to learn something else, learn something thats going to fix what happened. Thats my whole thing. Fix it. Not dwell on it, fix it.Fants football education continues Thursday night when the Seahawks play the Minnesota Vikings in their second preseason game. Fant is beyond raw when it comes to his football experience.Consider that Fant is the 13th-leading scorer all-time on the basketball court at Western Kentucky. That his last real organized football came in the eighth grade, despite playing sparingly on special teams for WKU. That basic skills like getting into the proper stance, the proper hand placement, the proper footwork, while second nature to his teammates, are almost completely new for Fant.Its almost like you would do with young kids just kind of start them from the very beginning, offensive line coach Tom Cable said. Which is to get them in the right stance, tell them what they should see with their eyes, what their hands are for, how they fit into the scheme and then you keep working fundamentally to keep their body down and teach them to play with the speed and violence you need to play this game.Fant needed some serious convincing to take on football. With an extra year of eligibility at Western Kentucky, Fant took on the challenge. He was mostly limited to special teams and when he participated in Western Kentuckys pro day in the spring, he was listed as a potential offensive lineman, defensive lineman or tight end.Seattle, with its history of taking on projects, saw Fants potential at offensive tackle.Hes a big body, long-armed guy, big body, athletic, Cable said. Truthfully, hes probably more athletic than the typical tackle in this league. Thats a positive. But so much to learn. Hes on it, working his tail off and I like where hes at so far.Fant got his first true game action last Saturday in Seattles preseason opener against Kansas City. He was self-admittedly jittery at the start and made minor mistakes that come with that anxiousness. It was understandable and he believes completely correctable. Fant was in for 44 plays, second-most of any offensive lineman. Hes likely to get another significant chunk of playing time against the Vikings as Seattle continues to assess Fants future potential. He seems a prime candidate to land on a practice squad and develop.That old saying, `Dot your `Is and make sure you do everything from A-to-Z. Well, were at A to B, Cable said. Thats where we are at right now and thats where we should be. There is nothing wrong with that. Hes on track that way.Game notes Seattle coach Pete Carroll said a number of players will sit out Thursday, including RBs C.J. Prosise and Thomas Rawls, SS Kam Chancellor and TE Jimmy Graham. Carroll also said its unlikely RT JMarcus Webb will play.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL DeMarcus Ware Youth Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.

Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A fake field goal. A surprise onside kick. Even some naked revelers in the Yale student section attempting to distract archrival Harvard.And the biggest trick of all from Yale in the 133rd edition of The Game: A 21-14 upset over the Crimson on Saturday to end a nine-year losing streak in one of the oldest rivalries in sports and spoil Harvards chances of an unprecedented fourth straight Ivy League title.Theres been a long streak. We dont like to talk about it, said Yale quarterback Kurt Rawlings, a freshman who threw for two touchdowns and ran for 74 yards. But its over. Now its our streak.Harvard (7-3, 5-2 Ivy) needed a victory to clinch a share of the conference championship . The Bulldogs (3-7, 3-4) had little to play for except a chance to spoil Harvards season.Thats exactly what they did.After setting up their first touchdown with a fake field goal, Yale opened the second half with an onside kick and scored to take its first lead. The Bulldogs went ahead for good with 4:14 left on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Rawlings to Reed Klubnik, who had the ball knocked out of his hands just after he reached across the goal line.Harvard coaches protested along the sideline. (There is no replay in the Ivy League.)The Crimson had two possessions in the final minutes, but couldnt score. Harvard players walked glumly back to their field house after blowing the chance to become the first class ever to win four straight conference championships.The nine straight Crimson victories in The Game was the longest winning streak in the history of a rivalry that was first played in 1875.Something we havent experienced in a long time is you can put it all out there, you can work as hard as you can, you can believe. And when you do that you still risk getting your heart broken, Harvard coach Tim Murphy said. Thats certainly what happened today.THE TAKEAWAYYale: Tony Reno picked up his first win against Harvard as head coach. He had also worked in both Cambridge and New Haven as an assistant.You grow as a season goes on. This team grew every week, Reno said. Sometimes it wasnt easy to see in the score, but what you saw today was the work we put in all year.HHarvard: The Crimson could have clinched a share of the conference title either last week, against Penn, or in the finale.dddddddddddd Instead, they end with two straight losses.Penn and Princeton both won on Saturday and will share the Ivy title.LET THE DANCING BEGINAfter the final kneel-down, Yale students poured out of the stands to celebrate with the team at midfield. Others danced in the form of a giant Y in the corner of Harvard Stadium that was the full height of the seating bowl.I was overjoyed, obviously, linebacker Darius Manora said, noting that he had played his last Game but would not stop rooting for the team: As an alum, Im excited for the future.NAKED STUDENTSOther Yale fans didnt wait for the end of the game to let it all out in support of their team.Although the traditional mid-November matchup has seen some days so frigid that fans head home with frostbite, this one was played under sunny skies and temperatures in the 50s.That was warm enough for a dozen or so students in the Yale student section to strip off their clothes and dance naked on the concrete wall of the century-old stadium. Police were seen escorting some from the stands, but a Harvard spokeswoman said there were no arrests.SLOW STARTIt took some time for the teams to get their bearings, playing 25 scoreless minutes and punting a combined 11 times to start the game before Charlie Booker bounced around the right end for a 27-yard touchdown to give Harvard a 7-0 lead late in the second quarter.Rawlings started Yales next drive with a 28-yard run and then the Bulldogs kept it going with a 16-yard jump pass on a fake field goal that put the ball on the 3. Alan Lamar ran it in from the 1.To start the second, Yale pulled off an onside kick that led to a 28-yard pass to Klubnik that gave the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead.Harvard tied it, picking up 34 yards to the Yale 2 o
