We used to sell shirts and take donations directly through airforcerugby.com and we used paypal to process the payments. We did this as a non-profit, but no one ever actually set up ZRFC as a non-profit so PayPal froze our account. We basically need…

Great news! Vern has been upgraded to "Good Condition". We were worried yesterday AM. He had stayed up all night in an upright position in bed refusing to recline, mostly breathing on his own with a face mask and some BiPap in between. He loo…

Zoomies beat Minnesota in the Round of 16
After a rough game against Cal Poly in the USA Rugby National Collegiate Rugby Championships, the Zoomies put the screws to Minnesota 29-12 to finish the season strong. Coach Andy McQuade and his staff had the fellas ready to play and they played tough. Senior Hooker Derek Candiotti lead the pack in a dominant performance in the 2nd half. The Tight 5 had the gophers on their heels and the backs took advantage of their opportunities. The guys will build on this and next year make a run at the Fin… Continue

- Pushy, pushy, pushy. I just got here and you're already pounding me like you used to. ;-) I'm going to have to go buy a scanner. Great job by the way, this is cool.

We get in free to her show. Other than that just the normal scene. I'm hooking up with Seitz today. He's in town with Southwest.

Josh Burgess said… - hey, my brother! thanks for the positive energy on the outhouse outcome--that was somewhere in the Julian Alps in Slovenia. verrry odd things can happen to a fellow all alone out there...
seriously, all's well. coming to the end of a 3-year gig in Stuttgart, not sure where i'm headed in the fall. how about you and Ann? nice work on the website. You know, you're kind of like sally struthers, in a way--I'll be sponsoring a poor, underprivileged zoomie before long....

Cynthia E Green said… - Wow! Congrats on the 3 kids! And dude, a daily shower really helps get rid of that smell as you get older! haha I am with the State Department now....actually in Ramadi as we speak. Just a little over 4 months to go on this tour and then it looks like maybe Dubai or Frankfurt in 2010. Not married and no kids -- looks like I am destined to be an old hag....although I'll have dogs, not cats! :-)

- Dont actually have the patch...just had a picture of it for awhile. I've personally never seen it before, but I know its out there. Think it was made for an alumni game in the late 90's. My profile cuts off a part of it, I have a quality full size image if you want it in an email.
