Turkey’s defending champion Koc Rams will open their 2018 season against the league’s newest member, the Uludağ Timsahlar (Crocodiles), Saturday, Feb. 24 in Istanbul.
The Rams have won the last two championships and with new head coach John Booker are aiming for another title this season with the addition of several imports. The Rams have signed quarterback David Whipple from Miles College along with two Swedish national team players, DB Nicholas Peterson and OL Eric Blomgren.
The Timsahlar, from the southern Turkish mountain city of Uludağ, will take the four hour bus ride to Istanbul as the definite underdogs. General manager Mahmut Enis Demir and his team will have their hands full with the experienced Rams.
