Enter the weekend …

With the proper attitude:

Challenge Match

Now that the brew over the Belmont Shore – Austin Valkyries challenge match seems to have slowed down a bit, I thought I should cap it.
I received several well-written messages from leadership on both teams. And after thinking about it for a while, I can see both sides.

Crazy Stats

Just a note on actual blogging, but my visitor stats have been going crazy lately. Completely mental. I think I’ve been picked up my google’s spiders at a higher level or whatever.
Last month was the busiest month ever with over 7,000 visitors.
This month, which isn’t even over yet, is already at 11,500 and [...]

Sprained

So why “sprained” you ask?
It’s both specific and far reaching I say. So applicable in many different ways.
I’m just feeling sprained overall today.
This week has been frustrating in rugby.
Tuesday, we had low numbers at practice and were trying to figure out our field situation. But Tuesday is early enough in the week [...]

UPDATED: Coming at you like a spider monkey

So … I was pretty sore and tired and sunburnt from this weekend’s Midwest Selects camp.

Guilty by Association & Rugby

Late last week I received an e-mail from the current president of my former college team, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Women’s Rugby Football Club, giving all of my fellow alumni and I an update on their successful year and then telling us that they were getting kicked off campus for a year.
Wait … [...]
