A University Team located in Toluca, Mexico, just north of Mexico City, seeks a solid and competitive opponent for a preseason game on August 23, 2008. The host will provide hotel rooms, meals and bus transportation during the team's stay.

The traveling team must arrange it's own transportation either by bus or air to Toluca, Meixco. From then, the host will cover the remaining costs.

University teams in Mexico are very well practiced, disciplined in the game of football and extremely well coached. Their athletes are in great shape. Any opponent traveling to Mexico for a game should be of the same caliber and ready for a highly competitive game in a great environment.

Any team interested should contact the editor of Minor League Football News at:

Minor League Football has released its Top 50 National Rankings for Winter Leagues for games played through April 27, 2008.

The Rankings may be viewed by clicking on the related Winter Rankings along the left side menu of this page.

Last week there were 314 teams reporting. This week there are 326.

Special thanks to Joe Hulsebus at Semi-Pro Football Headquarters for providing scores and league standings tables to Minor League Football News. Seme-Pro Football Headquarters can be found at www.semiprofootball.org and is full of information for those interested in the sport of amateur football.

We receive dozens of emails every day questioning how these rankings work and why one team is ranked above another. Please read the paragraph at the bottom of the rankings for information on how they are done. Please keep in mind, this is a national ranking system and it does not contemplate league standings as a component of the rankings. Remember, also, that a 2nd or 3rd place team in a league who has lost 1 or 2 games may actually rank higher than an undefeated team in first place of the same league.

For questions or corrections, please contact MLFN at admin@minorleaguefootballnews.com

RoughNecks Sweep Aztecs Neil (Big Rev) Johnson - 4/28/2008 Saturday the 26th of April was a windy, cool, sunny day. The Albuquerque Aztecs rolled into Farmington thinking the RoughNecks time was up. But the RoughNecks had a different agenda.

During the first half, the RoughNeck defense stood tall and held the Aztecs to 0 on the board as the Offense ran up and down the field, but only came up with 3 point off of the foot of Jeremy Soto. Both teams knew they were in for a fight to the end. Turnovers were costly for the Aztecs as the Necks recovered 5 fumbles, picked to passes for intâ?Ts and one TD. [more]
