The Gentleman's Game.

Way to go Mike!

     We went to a CSU-CU Rugby game this past weekend.  It was CSU's last regular home game for the season, and CSU tromped them.   Great game!

     It was interesting to watch as an objective observer, (one who doesn't know the rules or what is generally going on other than which direction the ball is being carried).  The players are all so young, there are seas of testosterone flowing, and shaving off chest and back hair is evidently popular.

"Rugby football is a game I can't claim absolutely to understand in all its niceties, if you know what I mean. I can follow the broad, general principles, of course. I mean to say, I know that the main scheme is to work the ball down the field somehow and deposit it over the line at the other end and that, in order to squalch this programme, each side is allowed to put in a certain amount of assault and battery and do things to its fellow man which, if done elsewhere, would result in 14 days without the option, coupled with some strong remarks from the Bench." -P. G. Wodehouse Very Good, Jeeves (1930)


     The Boston Marathon takes place this morning.  You can watch it live at http://watchlive.baa.org/  I'll be watching as it is going to be cold and snowing here all week.  I think we will be skipping spring this year and going straight to summer later on.
