No, this isn't a bittersweet farewell post or anything like that -- just an acknowledgement that, with this last Saturday, the 2007-2008 D3 Cup season for the Austin Huns finished up ( Read more... )

Once again, I came close to scoring, but a handy grab of my voluminous jersey

well, sometimes ya gotta sacrifice comfort for style

Still, I'd done my job, and a teammate was able to take the ball in for a try seconds later (his Zulu try, heh heh heh).

did he mark it in the traditional way? are there JPGs?? Enquiring Minds Need To Know.

It's neither comfortable nor stylish, alas -- my L size gets lost in the 2XL jersey my position provides.

As for the Zulu, the sneaky monkey hightailed it back to Austin even before the 3rd Half celebrations. The Huns will not forget, though, and will make him pay for the delay.

Argh! That last comment was mine, of course.

Not to forget Young Josh (aka Lickety Split) who is going to zulu for his trys in the friendly 10s game.

I was enormously pleased with the second half. We held them scoreless for a good 20 minutes! The only way they were able to grind us down was in the scrum and that was partly my fault. I could no longer brace with my left leg.

Overall, I think we did quite well. They took advantage in the second half of all 7 subs (almost all of them in the pack, too) and yet we held them!

It was a good baptism for me because I got to play all 80 minutes and my fellow players realize I'm a player, not a hanger on...

Crabs?

Did I not mention that the opposing team is nicknamed the Corpus Christi Crabs?

Down with the voluminous shirts!

We have the lovely high-tech fitted ones.

Except they didn’t have any that fitted our props…

They had to have them made specially, two sizes bigger than their normal largest - and they still ride up on them leaving acres of prop-belly on display!
