Bonnell having fun in Austria

I wrote a few weeks ago about former Husky quarterback Carl Bonnell heading overseas to play in Austria.

He played his first game there this weekend for the Cineplexx Blue Devils (here's a roster) and led his team to a 40-7 win over the Carnithian Black Lions, a team that apparently had scored 52 points against the Blue Devils last season. In an e-mail, Bonnell wrote that he threw for 450 yards and five touchdowns ("probably my best game ever stats wise,'' he wrote). Not a bad debut for a team that went 0-7 last season.

Bonnell is living in the small town of Hohenems and has been able to travel through Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain and Germany, as well as Austria. "It's been pretty sweet so far,'' he wrote.

Here's a home page for the league in which Bonnell is playing that includes a schedule and links to team rosters.
