My team, Reading Rugby, spent this St. Patrick's weekend in Savannah, GA at the annual tournament that city holds. About 80 teams competed in 7 divisions. My team was in the Black Division.
We won our division handily, we really only had one tough game that required us to score a try in the waning seconds of the 2nd half to win it. The scores...

there is a long long list of people i should be cleating... most recently some rugby guys at the bar tonight... problem is i don't have enough opportunities 
A few months ago was the banquet for my rugby team - Reading Rugby - needless to say it was a good time and the bar was open for us for 4 hours. Drunkenness happened.
We work closely with the Albright College Rugby team who are a very good team in DII rugby and beat such schools as Wake Forest, Penn State and Tennessee. A...

Still not positive if I'm going to be in Savannah or not, but it's fairly likely I will be. i'll be at the tourney if I am, though, so I'll keep an eye out for your side.
A few Savannah tips:
- "Relaxed" open container law: meaning, you can ask for a "to go" cup at the bars downtown and they will give you one, but don't take anything glass outside with you.
- River Street fills up early and the lines get long quick. Two-fist your drinks once you get there.
- Check www.savannahnow.com for St. Pat's info before you go, if you haven't alredy.
- Don't wander around downtown too much at night... find out where you're going beforehand. You can go from an okay neighborhood to a really, really bad one in about three minutes.
- Have fun.

update already kid!!
Well....life's crossroads are a killer.
I spent a long time debating whether or not to enter the personal training business and I am going to make the leap.
I hate my current career. I hate working construction with a bunch of stupid, fat, complaining people. (Not that construction is bad, but I'm way smarter than that).
I have a college degree; therefore, I am going...

We weren't playing in the snow...we have full contact practices inside the gym...on a hardwood floor, makes for some NICE bruises the next day.
We have beer reserved....don't worry about that.
I work in a bar on the weekends, I got that all covered.

Well, we had our first team practice yesterday at noon. We had 3 rookies show up for the first practice and all 3 of them look like they will be productive players.
Five of us were early (about 30 minutes early) so our Utilty player/resident running freak decided to take us on a run before practice....

Ok...went on the job and it was stadium lighting for a new sports complex in King of Prussia. I enjoy working outside, but not in mud up to my fucking knees!!
So I asked the Hall to transfer me to a new job and they obliged. I'm no primadonna, but I want to be able to walk 30 feet in less that 5 minutes without...

having been moved to 13 just this week... i have to say that offends me just a little. i only kick when i know i can knock the shite out of whatever bitch retrives it, if i don't, and then take it from them and score.

lock_5:
I'll weigh in on this one - It's not so much that they kick the ball, it's that their kicks aren't helping, cause they kick to the opposition, who then kicks it back, and the whole time the forwards are running in circles! If you're gonna kick, do it right!!
I got the call from the Union Hall today, I go back Monday....
Shit...
At least I am back to work, but I was REALLY enjoying the night-life again.
This time the job is a real lead and not a screw-up. At least I will be outside working and not stuck inside having to deal with the dust, dirt and smells of new construction. Back...

Well...I got a comment about Wing Bowl and asking what it is. Here goes.
It started 13 years ago in a hotel lobby with 2 men for a prize rubber chicken, it has since grown to a national following. For 13 years, the Friday before the Super Bowl had Philly host an all-u-can-eat wing contest.
To the present day...

So I go to the Union Hall today to get my job assignment at 7AM. This is after FORCING myself to go to bed by 12:30AM and waking up every hour until I can't sleep anymore and finally get up at 3:30 (my sleep schedule is still on bar hours), and they screwed it up.
