After a long 'waiting game' that took us down to the final moments of the Italian Football League season - the CATANIA ELEPHANTS are on our way to the PLAYOFFS!
Thanks to a little help from other teams, we finished in 4th place at 6-4, just one game ahead of the Bologna Doves - who lost their final contest Saturday night against the Parma Panthers 27-17 to finish at 5-5.
I am EXTREMELY PROUD of all the hard work that has been put in by our players and coaches, and am excited to be making the journey north to Bolzano to play the undefeated, league champion Giants in the IFL Semi-Finals. This is a great accomplishment for a team playing only our first season in Italy's Top Division!
More importantly, I am so glad to get ONE MORE CHANCE this season to put on the red jersey and play the great game of Football!

WOO-HOO!!! Way to go bro! I'm pround of you...we just went wine tasting at 3 wineries with mom and thought of you guys. Mom said it had a "Tuscan Touch"...whatever that means. :) Love you! Go get 'em tiger!! Give them a Bolzano Sandwich! (that was from Chris)
Bowl over Bolzano!
I believe the early betting line in Vegas has Bolzano favored by 7 1/2 ... and the over and under, since the Elephants are involved, is at 144
Best of luck.
Congrats on making the post-season. Good luck on making an Elephant air attack rain down on the Giants!!!
Perfect - I'm so happy to hear you made the palyoffs. Give it your best shot. We will be thinking of you.
Thanks for the lovely time we spent at your home on our holidays. We had a great time.

Way to go Jason, from your fans back in Edmonton! We'll be cheering you on from the frozen north. I also just visited some friends and gave a talk at PLU; hadn't realized you were from there.
Love the blog. Good luck!
