Rugby

Everyone knows that Tim is now working with the rugby team so I thought I'd post some pictures. Right now he is the team manager and is training to hopefully start in the spring. It's definitely a different game, and hard to really get a grasp of, but it's fun to watch and he loves to play it. It's sort of a cross between soccer and football but without any padding and when a 'tackle' happens, the play doesn't stop like in football. The goal is possession, not yardage, so you do just about anything you can to gain possession. In the game that I have pictures of, the final score was 101-0....US!!!! This is about what all our games are like. We don't play other colleges at all, and most of who we play are 'super league teams' who have paid players. We are still better than all of them and won the National Championship last year. So, enjoy the craziness and barbarianism of these pictures. ;)

And don't forget the socials. After all rugby games, both teams go to a local pub. It can be an interesting time to see the two teams that just beat each other up, to socalize and relive the moments and hits of the game.
