The Complete History of Bettendorf Football: 1951 ‐ Present The Complete History of Bettendorf Football: 1951 ‐ Present An official production of www.bettendorffootball.com Edition 2.0 – January 5th, 2010 © 2002‐2010 © www.bettendorffootball.com Edition 2.0 – January 5, 2010 © www.bettendorffootball.com Edition 2.0 – January 5, 2010 2nd Edition Overview First things first: simply put, this is anyone who ever has been a fan of Bettendorf Football. Certainly, it’s for all the coaches and players—past and present—who have shaped a dynasty with their commitment, discipline, and hard work. Finally, it’s for the players of tomorrow who simply need to do one thing: “Uphold the tradition.” This project initially began in July of 2007 and after pestering Coach Habenicht to write an introduction—which he did right away on November 22, 2007—continued for the next year and a half. Finally, just before January 1st, 2009, the 1st Edition was finally completed. What exactly was done? Well, in short, all the information and data from the website was transferred into book form to preserve all the research and work that’s been done. Basically, if an EMP explodes or the site goes offline (for whatever reason), history has been preserved ala paper as opposed to digitally. Since the publication of that 1st Edition, more information has been updated. So, does that mean this 2nd Edition is perfect? Of course not—but every attempt possible was made to make it as error-free as possible. However, in the process of taking the website and putting it into book form, numerous errors from the site were discovered—spelling, capitalization, misprints of names, etc.—and such that, those errors have now been fixed. Of course, as the saying goes, “One tends to lose the trees in the forest” so it’ll be no surprise that there are probably still little errors here and there; point them out and they’ll be fixed for the next edition. More importantly—and although you’ll read this again—please note that any omission—be it an award, honor, statistic, or historical fact—is purely unintentional and only results from a lack of knowledge. Again, simply point out the mistake or oversight and it will be fixed… this 2nd Edition is over 270 pages and will expand every year—every new season and its subsequent completion will result in more additions—hopefully, more championships, All-State players, and so forth; essentially it has no end. Furthermore, it’s not absolute and for section such as “Notable Bulldogs”—well, there are countless and to name just a few, people like Dave Hodam, Kevin Freking, and Sherm will be added in upcoming versions. So much work and so little time!

It is also for the fans, alumni, and patrons of Bettendorf High School who have supported the Bulldogs throughout their history. Finally, it is for anyone who has bled Black & Gold. Obviously, The Complete History of Bettendorf Football really isn’t “complete” until all the information is submitted and up-to- date—and it will only be so for one season. Nevertheless, a more appropriate title couldn’t be envisioned and regardless of its title, please keep in mind that both the website and this eBook are “works-in-progress.” Most notably, there are missing team photos as well as pictures of those individuals who have earned All-State or team M.V.P honors and those who have played in the Iowa Shrine Bowl All-Star game. Additionally, there are also countless Bulldogs who extended their careers into college but who currently aren’t yet credited with that distinction. In all, although the website and consequently this eBook are both detailed, much vital information and/or photos are still missing. On that same note, please note that any error or misprint—about a particular season, team, or individual—is purely unintentional and only exists due to the lack of knowledge; when informed correctly, these inaccuracies are fixed as soon as possible. To be honest, one person—who is limited by time and location—cannot realistically archive “everything” and much credit and kudos needs to go out those individuals

  • The Significance of Eastern Martial Arts Disciplines in British Men's
    This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF SPORT AND SOCIAL SCIENCE, vol.1, nos.2-3, 2012, copyright Taylor & Francis, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/21640599.2012.751170. Western men and Eastern arts: The significance of Eastern martial arts disciplines in British men’s narratives of masculinity Alex Channon Department of Secondary Education, University of Greenwich, London, UK Corresponding Author: Dr. Alex Channon, School of Education, University of Greenwich, Mansion Site, Bexley Road, London SE9 2PQ Tel: +44 (0)20 8331 8255 Email: [email protected] 1 Western men and Eastern arts: The significance of Eastern martial arts disciplines in British men’s narratives of masculinity Previous Western sociological research on Eastern martial arts has identified a tension between ‘traditional’ Eastern forms of practice and ‘modernised’ Western methods of training and competition. Particularly, the ‘sportisation’ of Eastern styles, where combat-centred arts based upon moral philosophies have transformed more or less into competitive activities following Western models of rationalised sport, has been an important theme. However, it is also suggested that Eastern martial arts hold special significance in the West for their seemingly esoteric nature. In this regard, such martial arts are considered significant because they are not ‘sports’, but rather disciplines with fairly different connotations for practitioners. Drawing on interview data, this paper explores how Western practitioners of Eastern martial arts articulate this difference, principally by examining the place of martial artistry in British men’s narratives of masculinity. Comparing themselves favourably to assumed, typical visions of Western sporting masculinity, such men draw upon the imagined uniqueness of their martial arts to construct a sense of moral superiority over other men.
