National Champion

Exciting weekend for this guy.

Cocktail

Bartending without shirts seems to generate more tips.

Black Bear Strong

The Black Bears had two wins today in the National collegiate 7's rugby tournament. They have a semi-final match tomorrow and hopefully a game for the national title after that. All of this happening about 25 miles from home in Maryland, while I'm in Des Moines at Drake Relays. Nicole had the team over for dinner tonight. She made a lot of food.

Bartenders

Sam's first real day as a bartender. He should try harder not to be a tender and customer at the same time.

Drake Relays

The injured Drake throwers volunteered for the hammer retrieval duty for the premier competition. Basically, they get the hammers once thrown and get them back to the throwing cage. Adam (left) also sang the national anthem to open the evening session of the relays.

Spotted Cow

Sam is visiting southern Wisconsin this weekend with his friend Austin. Here they are visiting the famous brewery and home of Spotted Cow beer.

New England Wide Conference Champs

The black bears win all 4 games in Springfield Mass and the 7's conference championship. Next stop, Nationals in Maryland.
