You have played in quite a number of Hessen derbies against TV Langen, Hanau or the Licher Baeren. How were these games different than other PRO B games?
The atmosphere was always great. The fans are so crazy rooting for their team.
Could you compare it to games against Mississippi or Alabama State?
I think it is very close. The passion and love the fans have for Mississippi or Alabama State is amazing. The derbies here kind of reminded me of the rivalries in the NCAA.
