To help prime you for one of prep football's premier postseason contests, we've compiled this handy list of fun factoids concerning the 2011 Under Armour All-America Game.
2011 Under Armour All-America Game Game: Time, Location, History And More
Proper name: The Under Armour High School All-America Game. Two potential pitfalls here: The veddy Britishy spelling of "Armour" and the noted lack of an "n" at the end of America. Try practicing this one at home in front of a mirror before trotting it out at fancy parties.
Tagline, which we dare you to parse: "The Nation's Definitive Gathering of The New Prototype of Football Elite"
Setting: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida, because what better to do with a bunch of high school kids than move them away from the Citrus Bowl and Disney World and towards the nation's highest concentration of strip clubs per capita?
TV time: Airing Wednesday, January 5, at 7 p.m. EST on ESPN.
Weather: Current forecasts call for partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures, because it is January in Florida.
Roster: Available here in list form; alumni include Matt Barkley, Julio Jones, and A.J. Green.
Coaches: Available here in list form, including head coaches Mike Ditka and Steve Mariucci. Previously such luminaries as Ted Marchibroda, Marv Levy, and Sam Wyche have roamed its sidelines.
Tidbits of interest: This will be the fourth rendition of Under Armour's postseason contest. If you'd like to actually sit through this thing, tickets are only $10. And if you're a real recruiting sicko (or a player being wooed by competing postseason contest organizers), take note that practices for this game are being televises on ESPNU.
