Dear sports fans and friends!<br />
The <strong>Razorbacks</strong> have a strong defence! You can‘t survive without a strong<br />
defence. That‘s true for American football. But that‘s also true for our country:<br />
We need a strong, fully operational army - especially now!<br />
I think it‘s great that the <strong>Razorbacks</strong> are hosting this special game together<br />
with our German army! And as a former member of the International<br />
Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol School in Weingarten, I am particularly<br />
pleased that the German Army is visiting us in the Schussen Valley and<br />
wish the game a successful outcome with the traditional salute of the airborne<br />
troops.<br />
Good luck!<br />
Daniel Rapp<br />
Mayor of Ravensburg<br />

PENALTIES<br />
at a glance<br />
Offside<br />
Why is there a yellow<br />
flag there now and what happened?<br />
We have summarised the most<br />
common penalties here.<br />
5 YARDS<br />
A player is offside if he has a part of his body in the<br />
neutral zone before the snap (ball handover from the<br />
centre to the quarterback). Before the snap, none of<br />
the players on the offensive line or the defensive line<br />
are allowed to move. Only an offensive player who is<br />
„in motion“ is allowed to move. The players on the line<br />
often try to provoke their opponents into flinching before<br />
the snap, which then leads to encroachment, false<br />
start or illegal motion.<br />
False Start<br />
5 YARDS<br />
Before the snap has occurred, an offensive line player<br />
may not give up his three-point stance or simulate that<br />
the snap has already occurred.<br />
Illegal motion<br />
5 YARDS<br />
In the moment before the snap (face-off), only one offensive<br />
player, namely one player in the backfield, is<br />
allowed to move (the player in motion). He must be at<br />
least one yard away from the line of scrimmage (the<br />
line on which the ball is played) and may only run parallel<br />
to this line or move backwards away from it.<br />
Pass lnterference ... for defence :<br />
15 YARDS from the previous spot and<br />
an automatic first down.<br />
... for offence:<br />
15 YARDS from the previous spot and repeat the down.<br />
A pass can be caught by both the offence and the defence.<br />
If the ball is in the air within a catchable distance,<br />
a player may not be prevented from catching it. The<br />
exception is in the case of collisions when trying to<br />
catch the ball. Neither the intended pass receiver nor<br />
the defender may hold the opponent, push him away<br />
or block his path when he runs to the ball.<br />
Facemask<br />
15 YARDS and a first down<br />
Grabbing the opponent‘s face mask (face guard / visor<br />
on the helmet). Even if unintentional, this is punished<br />
as a foul!<br />
Holding<br />
... for defence:<br />
5 YARDS and a first down<br />
... for offence:<br />
10 YARDS<br />
A defence player is only allowed to hold the ball carrier.<br />
In offence, the ball carrier is the only player who<br />
is allowed to use his hands to fend off an opponent.<br />
Delay of Game<br />
5 YARDS<br />
The offence must put the ball back in play within 45<br />
seconds (or 30 seconds after a timeout, injury, or other<br />
extraordinary stoppage).<br />
Roughing the Passer 15 YARDS & First Down<br />
Once the quarterback has played the pass, the defence<br />
is no longer allowed to tackle him. If the defence<br />
player has already started to tackle, this only applies<br />
if he would have been able to stop the movement.<br />
Roughing the Kicker<br />
15 YARDS & First Down<br />
Intentionally knocking over the kicker. A defender<br />
must have blocked the ball or at least touched it before<br />
knocking over a punter or the kicker, unless the<br />
kicker himself or one of his teammates has first made<br />
physical contact with the defensive player.<br />
Unnecessary Roughness<br />
15 YARDS & First<br />
Down (Offense)<br />
Intentional physical fouls, such as tackling an opponent<br />
outside the touchline, head butting with the helmet<br />
(Helmet to Helmet), punching, kicking or kneeing<br />
an opponent.<br />
Unsportsmanlike conduct<br />
15 YARDS &<br />
First Down (Offense)<br />
Verbal abuse, offensive and obscene gestures. Fouls<br />
without physical contact.<br />
Dead Ball Foul 15 YARDS & First Down (Offense)<br />
A defensive player may not rush at the ball carrier or<br />
another opponent when the ball is dead.<br />
... and many many more!<br />

One Team, One Target<br />
WE ARE<br />
RAZORBACKS LADIES!<br />
Last summer, our women‘s team was<br />
called “Down! Set! Huts!„. The game<br />
was played in the women‘s Aufbauliga<br />
south in the so-called tournament<br />
mode, which consists of two games<br />
with two quarters on a game day, in<br />
the 7 vs. 7. Due to the smaller squad in<br />
the women‘s teams in the Aufbauliga,<br />
the ladies, unlike the men‘s teams, for<br />
example, play with only seven players<br />
per side on the field. In total, the Razorback<br />
Ladies competed for eight games<br />
on four match days. The opponents<br />
came from Bruchsal, Dachau and Mannheim.<br />
The 20 ish players ended their<br />
first season with third place in the table,<br />
an achievement with which players<br />
and the coaches team were very pleased<br />
with.<br />
“The first season of the women<br />
went as expected - many new<br />
players - with and without previous<br />
experience - had to come together and<br />
a new coaching team had to adapt. However,<br />
it should be emphasized that the<br />
women quickly came together through<br />
enormous team spirit and the coaches<br />
immediately saw a common path of<br />
the game philosophy.The ability to play<br />
could be significantly improved in the<br />
course of the season and the team has<br />
developed good cohesion that has been<br />
shown on the field. However, we have<br />
also recognized that we will have to<br />
refine our strategy next season to improve<br />
the flow of the game.”said Maik<br />
Dibowski, Defence Coordinator and Jan<br />
Nawratil, Offence Coordinator.
Looking on to the new season, the two<br />
coaches are confident that the team<br />
can take on the opponents and expand<br />
the first successes of the last season in<br />
the individual games.<br />
The team is currently being trained by<br />
five dedicated coaches Alfeo Kopp (HC),<br />
Maik Dibowski (DC), Jan Nawratil (OC),<br />
Thorsten Weggenmann (O-line), Marco<br />
Fluder (Special Teams)), all of which can<br />
make a wide range of training possible<br />
for women through their many years of<br />
football experience in different positions<br />
and diverse experiences.All skills<br />
that are required in football, depending<br />
on the position - such as speed,<br />
strength, ability to move and ball safety<br />
- are trained in different ways. Under<br />
the direction of head coach Alfeo<br />
Kopp, the team is already preparing for<br />
the upcoming season, which is expected<br />
to start at the end of August. The<br />
Razorback Ladies team has officially<br />
been part of the <strong>Razorbacks</strong> family since<br />
mid-2022. The first tryouts took place<br />
almost two years ago and the team<br />
started their first season after less than<br />
a year of training. What the players<br />
particularly enjoy about their team is<br />
the diversity and the strong bond with<br />
each other. Every player finds her right<br />
position and the team sees itself as a<br />
unit on and off the field.<br />
Would you like to try out American<br />
<strong>Football</strong> and are at least 16 years old?<br />
The Razorback Ladies look forward to<br />
newcomers at any time - with and without<br />
experience - and cordially invite<br />
you to stop by the training! If you are<br />
under 16 years old, our youth team is<br />
also happy to have new faces.<br />
Feel free to contact the team, the coaches<br />
(coaches@ravensburg-razoracks.<br />
de), on Instagram (@<strong>ifm</strong>razorbacksoder),<br />
or just drop by. The ladies training<br />
is currently taking place every Tuesday,<br />
7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Thursday, 7<br />
p.m. to 9 p.m. on the TSB <strong>Football</strong> Field<br />
(artificial turf pitch) in Brühlstraße in<br />
Ravensburg. <strong>No</strong> previous knowledge<br />
is required, only a positive attitude,<br />
sportswear, a water bottle and, in the<br />
best case, soccer shoes.<br />

„Good to know“<br />
Info about the opponent<br />
SINCE 1988<br />
The season got off to a promising start, with<br />
the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes notching up their<br />
first win against the Braunschweig New Yorker<br />
Lions in their first game. The rest of the Baltic<br />
Hurricanes‘ current 2024 season has been<br />
characterized by highs and lows. American<br />
quarterback Nate Hayden, who leads the offense<br />
with his precise throws, deserves special<br />
mention. The defense has also improved and<br />
was able to make important blocks at crucial<br />
moments. Both teams, the <strong>ifm</strong> <strong>Razorbacks</strong><br />
and the Baltic Hurricanes, last met on June<br />
24, 2023. The Kiel Baltic Hurricanes won 27:21<br />
at home last year in front of 1558 spectators.<br />

INTERVIEW with<br />
LAURITS VINTHER #52<br />
and<br />
LUDVIG HAGLUND #55<br />
Gaby: Ludvig, how did you get into American<br />
<strong>Football</strong> and why did you choose the<br />
position of O-Lineman?<br />
Ludvig: I never chose the O-Line. When I<br />
started playing football, one of my receiver<br />
friends back home told me that they needed<br />
a big man for the team. So he brought<br />
me to practice. I was put on the O-Line because<br />
I was the big guy. So I did not change<br />
the position since that practice.<br />
Gaby: Laurits, tell us about your path to<br />
American football and why you chose the<br />
position of center.<br />
Laurits: I started playing because all my<br />
friends started playing then I can hang<br />
around them. And I played center because<br />
I like to be in the middle and I can communicate<br />
with everybody and I‘m the only one<br />
who knows how to snap.<br />
Gaby: Ludvig, What are the biggest challenges<br />
as an O-lineman and how do you deal<br />
with them?<br />
Ludvig: II would say that we don‘t get<br />
enough love and also if you look at<br />
it from a sports perspective: As an<br />
o-lineman that you are a group. If you<br />
don’t do your job - the whole group<br />
cannot work.<br />
19<br />
Gaby: Laurits, How important is the communication<br />
between you and the quarterback?<br />
Laurits: It is very important. It‘s kind of the<br />
gateway from the O-line to the skill guys.<br />
That is the link between everybody. So I<br />
make sure the O-line knows what they need<br />
to do. Communicating to Broghean and him<br />
to his receivers. That is the link between the<br />
two groups.<br />
Gaby: How do you prepare for a game? Are<br />
there certain rituals or habits you have?<br />
Ludvig: Sleep well, drink lots of water. Before<br />
the game I always make pasta bolognese.<br />
I have been doing it for years and it is the<br />
only thing I eat before the game. It helps<br />
me and it‘s my ritual. Before warming up I<br />
tape my gloves. After thatI‘m in my football<br />
mode. My lock-in mode.<br />
Laurits: Lots of sleep and lots of water. On<br />
game day, I walk around the whole field to<br />
get to know the whole field. Before the coin<br />
toss, I go to the corner and pray.
Gaby: What was the highlight of your career<br />
with the Ravensburg <strong>Razorbacks</strong> so<br />
far?<br />
I would say beating the Comets because<br />
we’ve never beat them before and we won<br />
by more points than the first game they<br />
won against us.<br />
Laurits: I think the last game against Hildesheim.<br />
Yes, we lost that game, but it<br />
shows that we are a great team this year.<br />
And after that game we played with more<br />
confidence.<br />
Gaby: How would you describe the dynamics<br />
and cooperationwithin the o-line?<br />
Ludvig: We are a very close group. We do<br />
everything together, we communicate a lot.<br />
We never leave each other. We have a good<br />
and fun dynamic.<br />
Laurits: We are a very young group this year.<br />
The average age is 25 I think. Louis with his<br />
30 bring it up a pretty young group. Invested<br />
in playing for the team and invested in<br />
winning games.<br />
Gaby: You two are our „twins“ and you get<br />
along well? How come?<br />
Ludvig: Since day 1 we got on really well. I<br />
don‘t really know why, but we are similar in<br />
our personalities. When we are on the field<br />
- sometimes my mom can‘t tell who is who.<br />
Laurits: I‘m pretty sure I shared my Pringles<br />
with you.<br />
Ludvig: Oh yeah...you shared the Pringles<br />
with me last season, we had a camp and he<br />
had some paprika Pringles.<br />
Gaby: You were with us last year? What<br />
was the reason for you to stay?<br />
Ludvig: I stayed because I got love from the<br />
team and the people around the team. And<br />
I felt very welcome here. We became a family<br />
last year - went through a lot of shit<br />
last year and we are still together. And I<br />
knew that Jake was going to be a coach and<br />
I wanted to have him as a coach and I also<br />
believed in the program to build something.<br />
Laurits: Same thing. That Jake came back<br />
was a big point for me and also that I want<br />
to win with this team. And improve the<br />
team and we are able to win!<br />

<strong>No</strong>thing more to say! Thank you Ludvig and<br />
Laurits for the interview and your time. We<br />
wish you a successful season. Stay healthy!<br />
How different do you find the atmosphere<br />
in the stadium?<br />
Ludvig: Oh this is like night and day. So different<br />
and it feels like a home where you<br />
can feel comfortable. A place where family<br />
and friends are watching us. Last year it<br />
was the same - but it was not the same stadium<br />
feeling and we are closer to the fans<br />
and they’re behind us. And we have our own<br />
dressing room.<br />
Laurits: It gets very loud there. I remember<br />
the 4th down against the Straubing Spiders<br />
last game where it was so loud that they<br />
called a timeout. The whole place<br />
exploded.<br />

Jamie Dale #6<br />
I owe my career in Germany to RR.<br />
I do watch them. I’m always seeing<br />
how they are doing I wish them success<br />
always. As far as contacts with<br />
old teammates and things like that<br />
I follow everyone on social media<br />
but no we do t talk that much every<br />
once in awhile. I want to try and<br />
go to their game in Hildesheim this<br />
season because I’m in Kiel. For the<br />
fans: Come out and support. One of<br />
my favorite experiences was when<br />
we won the championship there and<br />
the field surrounded by fans it was<br />
one of my favorite atmospheres ever<br />
and I know that’s what the players<br />
would love and appreciate it.<br />
