didnt specify the nature of Hurds injury

AHMEDABAD, India -- He goes by the Twitter handle Browndogg-30x and hes a seasoned ex-pro in Australias homegrown brand of football, the son of one of the more infamous players from that game.Campbell Brown is making a mark on the Kabaddi World Cup in India, leading the Australian team despite his very recent recruitment to the traditional south Asian game.Its very unique, isnt it, the 33-year-old Brown said in an interview at the World Cup. I just think its such an exciting sport, from the playing perspective and from viewers as well.Its such a new sport to us. You see theres a few players in our team that have a professional football background, so we picked up the skill component of it pretty easily, but its just the rules and the things like (that) which are the hard part. It has been a steep learning curve for the team in the first two games, but I think we are getting better and better with each minute we spend on the court. Kabbadi is a contact sport that mixes tag and wrestling and developed over centuries on dusty courts in northern India. Its widely popular in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and usually played abroad by expats from those countries.Organizers are trying to increase the sports global appeal and have 12 national teams competing in the World Cup, including the United States, South Korea, Argentina, Poland, Kenya, Japan and Thailand. Pakistans team was a late withdrawal from the tournament.After three games, hot-favorite India was leading Group A from South Korea and England, having recovered from a shocking opening loss to the Koreans. Iran was in control of Group B with an unbeaten run. The top two teams in each group advance to the semifinals.The basic rules of kabaddi are simple, but the finer arts of the game have evolved over a long time. It is a game between two teams of seven players. The teams take turns to send a raider, or attacker, into the rival half of the field to gain points by trying to touch opponents, who then go out of the game. All the while, the raider chants the word `kabaddi until running out of breath.Players from the defending team try either to evade the touch or get into a grapple to stop the raider returning to his or her half.Brown, who followed in the footsteps of his rugged and controversial father, Mal Brown, and played in the top-flight competition in Australian Rules football, knows how tricky learning the rules of a unique, regional game can be.But hes still struggling to come to terms with the intricacies of Kabaddi.The saying `kabbadi the whole the time you raid, its quite funny, he said, admitting he forgot to do a few times in Australias opening loss to England. The referees were a bit kind on the Australian team and didnt penalize us for it but, when youve got seven players coming at you, raiding and you try to touch them sometimes you just forget to say `kabbadi -- thats probably the funny part of it.England captain Someshwar Kalia also has players whore learning on the go, and having to remember one of the keys is the yoga-like chanting.This is actually a very unique aspect of the sport, he said, adding that it can be difficult combing the physical nature of the game with the finer points. Thats the thing that threw a lot people off.For the South Koreans, its the close connection of the defending team -- a chain-like formation -- that seemed to be most unique part of the game.The most unusual thing for me was that we have to hold our hands while defending, South Korea captain Dong Ju Hong said during a recent training session. Two males holding hands was a little odd for me.After cricket, its one of the most popular sports in India, and the pressure is firmly on the home team at the sixth World Cup.It is very important to win this World Cup as its taking place in our country, and so far we have never lost, India player Deepak Hudda said. We wont settle it without the Cup. Its very important us to win for the prestige of the country.Vapormax Plus Womens Uk .

Vols coach Butch Jones announced last Monday that Hurd intends to transfer .The junior from Hendersonville said it was not a decision made rashly but one I have been thinking about for quite some time.Coming to Tennessee, I understood the read option offense may not be the best fit for me, but I put that aside for my love for Tennessee and wanting to be part of a beloved program, Hurd said. While I had hoped for scheme adjustments to suit my strengths, this did not happen on a consistent enough basis. This did have a factor in my decision, as I want to play in an offensive scheme that highlights my abilities to run but also expands to allow me to show my abilities to catch the ball and be a mismatch for defenses.Hurd also said he had multiple injuries that were not and should not have been disclosed, including a concussion that prevented him from playing in a 45-38 double-overtime loss at Texas A&M last month.dddddddddddd Tennessee officials didnt specify the nature of Hurds injury when they announced that Hurd wouldnt play against the Aggies.Tennessee officials didnt immediately respond to a message seeking comment.Hurd added that I want to say thank you to the University of Tennessee for everything it did for me.
