Pulled this book off my shelf to look something up and stuck to it is rare proof of me being a college athlete

best scrumhalf to do it

lol dude, I might have this same card with a similar expiration, but located in a ditch in Savannah or New Orleans

What position? You don't have enough hair to be a back, so I'm guessing maybe 2?

Scrumhalf and winger

Legit. You can see why I’d be curious considering you don’t have the lush, flowing locks we associate with backs.

Since there’s no alt-text of GIFs, the above skeet includes a GIF of Springboks World Champion scrum half Faf de Klerk shaking his long blond hair

Backs can’t help it if we are prettier than the pack. Signed, A wing (Ret.)

I was a class traitor when I played: flanker (blindside) and fullback.

Jean-Pierre Rives had long flowing (sometimes blood soaked)hair as a flanker.

I had a friend who used to tell people that she spent time in college as a hooker. She was a 2 on her college team. The reactions she got were often amusing.

That sounds more like the title of a BBC detective show.

That can't be right. None of us are that old.

Could you use it to buy beer?

Vassar! Yay, Poughkeepsie!

Played in heaven.

I'm curious whether the 1990 student takeover of Main Building had any lingering salience during your time there. How did people discuss those events - assuming they did so at all?
